Wonder what went wrong
Logical drive is on overload
Processor beginning to heat up
Restart, look for faults
Diagnosis in progress
Working in safe mode
Launching the anti-virus
Screen flickers, then
“Warning: Virus detected”
File-name: depression.exe
Unable to delete
Moving it to the vault
Too late, system infected
Need system-restore,
Looking for the back-up
Nowhere to be found
Drastic measure required
“Faith” Operating System
Must be re-installed.

    Very interesting these succinct computer operations translated in the human plan. Perhaps we've just begun to behave like robots...

    Jingle and Gospelwriter thanks, Technology is man-made that's why it carries with it the imperfections of men.

Rhyme to Success (Inspirational Poem)

Image
You may struggle, who hadn't
Resiliency, you must have
Rome wasn't built in one day
Frameworks must be laid

Hurdle over the pit of failures
Stride harder and run faster
Life’s a race you must conquer
Aspire to become a winner

Dreams are for achievers
Losers are defeated dreamers
Choices will define your future
Don’t bid on fate and then defer

Like a candle you can light up
You can soar like a kite
Beat the wind of doubt
Propel yourself to the top

Everything is in your hand
You have the power to change
Lean on yourself, believe you can
Free yourself from the chain

Life is a Journey Poem

Image
Sail, explore the vastness
Feast on the bounty
There is more to life
In between pain and despair

Surf, ride along the possibilities
Chances can’t be scarce
To those who search
Success won’t be far away

Float; run with the wind of change
Lots of riddles to be solved
Life is a quest, a voyage
Uncertainties make it a challenge

Getaway, leave the crib of doubt
In your hand, the power
Inside you, the great fire
Let it flare; shine and be at the top



"If there is one thing I have learned in my years of existence, it's how you see or perceive things that makes the difference. Always look in the brighter side of things and do not dwell on the negativity. Do not let problems bring you down, rather make the best out of it, be motivated and rise above any obstacles that life may throw upon you."

Quotes About Life That Can Make You Feel Good About Yourself

Image
"Life, like the breeze changes from warm to cold, mild to threatening, occasionally unbearable but it will calm down in the morning." - R.S. Mallari
A compilation of quotes about life that are meant to enlighten and inspire. Sometimes people just need a budge to move forward and words have that power to make anyone snap out from a momentary lost of motivation. Below are some life quotes that in one way or the other may help in trying to bring back that enthusiasm in living life.

"Only when you are at peace with yourself and satisfied with what you have that you can really be contented and can be happy. No amount of money or material wealth can ever be enough to make you feel good about yourself."

"You can substitute intelligence with passion but not passion with intelligence; most successful people are passionate rather than intelligent."

"We are meant to feel sadness to better appreciate happiness and taste the bitterness of failure so as to make su…

A Sweet Love Poem: Looking Back at My Past

Image
I lied down, shut my eyes And dared to go back
A part of me, my past
Dug deeper as far as I could
Decisions I made back then
That led me to where I am
There were some things
Choices I have made
That could’ve been better
But when I reached the part
Where I have met you
All regrets faded away
Because I know in my heart
Those bad choices I’ve made
Led me to your arms
And I wouldn’t trade that
Even for the world. When you find that someone that can make you feel thankful every minute of the day then no matter where and what have you been become insignificant because the choices you made good or bad lead you to that special person in your life.. No regrets..

Walk Through Pain

Image
With me is a sledgehammer
About to raze these walls
Walls that kept me miserable

In my heart a dynamite
About to blow up the chain
Chain that have locked me

It took me awhile to recognize
It’s me, who limits my growth
Time for dreams to be realized

Such a fool to have waited
For something or someone
That can lift me from the gulf

I have pondered enough
Things that I should have done
Time’s wasted, I must make-up

I will walk through the pain
Throw the luggage at hand
Time to enjoy some sunshine
