Can you touch the sky.
Rumi.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark,
in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,
the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish,
in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,
In the name of the best within you,
do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst.
In the name of the values that keep you alive,
do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly,
the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title.
Do not lose your knowledge but have never been able to reach.
Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
~Ayn Rand

There is a force within that gives life-
Seek that.
In your body,there lies a precious jewel
Seek that.
If you are in search of the greatest treasure,don't look outside
Look within,and seek that.
Rumi
