Hello,

We have all tried to start a fire.

I am sure that we all like to think-- that what we are doing now is the right thing--But sadly it isn’t so.

This life as you now live it-- and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more-- and there will be nothing new in it-- but every pain and every joy-- and every thought and sigh-- everything immeasurably small or great in your life-- must return to you-- This eternal hourglass of existence is turned over-- and over again.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.-- But if you never start looking you will never find it.

 It is possible to be alive and not exist at the same moment.

What I’d like you to take away from this-- is that every breath deserves to be celebrated-- and every life deserves to be lived.
