Begin Again Quotes

“unaccountably we are alone
forever alone
and it was meant to be
that way,
it was never meant
to be any other way–
and when the death struggle
begins
the last thing I wish to see
is
a ring of human faces
hovering over me–
better just my old friends,
the walls of my self,
let only them be there.

I have been alone but seldom
lonely.
I have satisfied my thirst
at the well
of my self
and that wine was good,
the best I ever had,
and tonight
sitting
staring into the dark
I now finally understand
the dark and the
light and everything
in between.

peace of mind and heart
arrives
when we accept what
is:
having been
born into this
strange life
we must accept
the wasted gamble of our
days
and take some satisfaction in
the pleasure of
leaving it all
behind.

cry not for me.

grieve not for me.

read
what I’ve written
then
forget it
all.

drink from the well
of your self
and begin
again.

about the process,
about the results,
about ourselves.”

It's a moment to pause, to take a breath and look back and enjoy what you've experienced and be grateful for it, but then to turn around and look towards the next checkpoint, the next achievement.”
― Tom Fletcher

“When life becomes heavy, it guides us to accept a pause, keep it down for a while, take a breather than pick it up again and carry on with new strength and energy.

I am back at zero it’s only going to be higher from now on.
I can use the pause to fool my inabilities in believing that they are the most able and become able.
I still have what I fear losing, so it’s a perfect time to start.
I can think, I can innovate and I can achieve what I desire to.
I’ am reinvented, I can cross boundaries, I can leap to increased heights seemed higher earlier”
