Alright no need to do the double take...so I am posting a lil more regularly...sue me :)

A bunch of people had a lot to say about my last post...about the darkness inside me.Well we all have darkness inside us...and in my opinion none of us know the truest extent of our dark selves.

However...today is not about darkness...its about the small little flame that burns bravely against all the darkness.

Also I dont know when I started this but...whenever I start doubting myself...I end up reading this :

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

For all the people who are not familiar with that...its by Rudyard Kipling.Now Kipling had very high standards...to even qualify as a man. But the words are inspiring...a lot like watchin Neo Channel where India ALWAYS wins hahahahahahaha
