There is a fine line between dreams and reality; it's up to you to draw it.
All ups and downs help you to find a balance in your being. No more ups and downs, but bliss, joy, silence and gratitude.
Rain clouds come floating in, not to muddy my days ahead, but to make me calm, happy and hopeful.
If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.
