[Love.Life.Spirit.]

"Great leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness,

but rather by the presence of clear strength.

The key to develop great leadership

is to build strength.."

[Baby.Steps.!]

After a while, you learn the subtle difference

between holding a hand and chaining a soul.

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning

and company doesn't mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

and presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats

with the grace of an adult,not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today

because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.

After a while, you learn that

even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So plant your own garden,and decorate your own soul

instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
