When you see yourself with limitations,
your life becomes full of limitations.
your life becomes full of limitations.

not reason and will,
accomplish what a soul needs.

Happiness
It is difficult to imagine the positive, wholesome changes that can happen in your life if you stop poisoning it with, wine, vodka, tobacco, and drugs.
The less you wish for, the happier you will be. This is an old truth, but not one accepted and understood by everybody.
(Leo Tolstoy, Wise Thoughts for Everyday, 8 June)
