Margarita with Salt...

It takes some love, some joy, some sorrow, some pain and an infinite amount of patience to get through life. You must wait - for the right time, for the right person, for the right opportunity... It is only patience that will get you through your life. Not just get through - Patience is what will give you the ability to understand, to appreciate and to enjoy life. My life taught me life. People are temporary, your feelings for them are temporary, you are temporary... however what you feel for yourself - THAT is real, THAT is forever... Never let the temporary affect what's real. Don't hang on to people, don't hang on to things, don't hang on to feelings... Experience them all, learn from them, enjoy them, treasure them. But don't hang on to them. Let them go. "Face everything with a smile" they say. But I would say, face everything with whatever you feel at that moment. Don't restrict yourself. Don't follow other people. Don't bother about other people. Because at the end of the day, it is your feeling that makes up your entire life. If you love being with somebody, it is because you love the feeling when you are with them. If you love having something with you, it is because you love the feeling when it is with you. It is your feeling that is defining them all. You are the one that is giving that identity to it. You need to realise that you are the key component in your life. Your life is not just 'about' you, you 'are' your life. So, stop worrying about how your life is or how it's going to be. All that matters is how you feel living it. I'm not saying you need to always feel happy in your life. Life is not just about your happiness, it is about all the feelings you get when you live it. It's not just the happy ending that matters, it's the entire script, every frame in the movie of life, every little detail on every frame... And most importantly, the feel it gives. Would you rather sit in a mini train whose destination you know or would you take that roller-coaster ride? I'm sure the choice is simple... Life is simple. Don't complicate it. Sit back, Relax, Sip a Margarita with Salt!
