Some Accept. Some Reject.
Life presents to us challenges.
Some accept.
Some reject.
Others believe they can be put on hold,
Until they make up their minds...
As to what to do and direction to take!
Challenges do not come,
With options to preserve.
They are either faced or not.
Either way...
The consequences of our decisions,
Always seem to provide immediate feedback.
Never do consequences lack not to arrive,
On time.
An appearance they will make.
Whatever is done!

Truly, the challenges we face are not Democratic challenges or Republican challenges. In fact, they are not political challenges at all; they are fiscal challenges, and educational challenges, and the challenges of figuring out how to take care of each other.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

I've Done My Job
'How did we arrive,
To get 'ourselves' into this situation? '
I thought you knew.
You were the one to convince me,
To follow you and not the others.
'This is true.
Now what do 'we' do?
It would make no sense,
To accuse or blame each other.
With no choices left,
To accept, reject or defend 'our' decisions.'
'Our' decisions?
Hey...
You convinced me to follow 'you'!
I've done my job.

Coping with the demands of everyday life would be exceedingly trying if one could arrive at solutions to problems only by actually performing possible options and suffering the consequences.

Decisions
Decisions, decisions
Options and choices
That signify our freedom
But make life more difficult
All the same
But what would life be without
Decisions?
Would it be a meangless
Tangle of days after days?
A predetermined boring
Routine?
They make make life hard
But they can make it
So much better
Choices will come and go
But the decisions
Stay the same

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

Invisible Inner Power
Chronic pain is unstoppable, the doctor said,
I remember a time I was pain-free, a time of
joyous being, I wrote line upon line of new
delight in the belief great effort would make
the world different; then the challenges set
before me kept growing without respite
I learnt that the way of the believer is steep,
life took its toll and my body gave up - time
to turn my eyes to the invisible inner power
diffusing physical life, fighting chronic pain
for so long means only meditation is left
and I should stay in the eye of the storm
The book I wrote is the life I have led, challenges
faced and overcome and the things I discarded
after trying them out in my mind and finding that
harmony and beauty led somewhere else…

Live as it is
Heaven and hell we make
Bitterness or sweetness we take
We must love live with peace
Life can be then at ease
It has uncertainty factor
As it happens in any sector
We are here only stage actor
Believe and have faith in creator
Why do we define unknown objects?
Carry impression in life and reject
Simply fear for their unknown consequences
In reality nothing as such existed at once
We are strangers to life and still exist
Even objects of non-life don’t resist
They are sure of their existence
We make it more complicated and lay insistence
Joy for a while and leave the worry
Life may have to be packed in hurry
No time will be spared for second
Like dead fish if taken out from pond
Live with happiness as it is offered to you
You have nothing else to think or prove
It may take you along whether willing or unwilling
Then why not you accept the facts and take it smiling

Because each are going to blame each other. The thing that Canberra has to really get right is the sharing of the resource. But my problem with people in the government who are there for a short time is that there's no consequences for some of these decisions they make.
Just Leave the Teabag In The Cup
Listen up.
Let's not beat around the bush here.
Do you prefer facing the truth?
Or be subjected to the consequences?
'Honestly?
I perceive my chances with the consequences,
As being far more beneficial than any version...
Of your truth!
I've been observing your version of truth for two weeks.
And each day it keeps changing.
Whatever those consequences may be...
I am certain they will be less creative.
I'll take your consequences with a cup of tea.
With lemon and one tablespoon of sugar.'
I don't think you understand how serious these procedures are?
'Oh,
I know you're serious.
I like the water extra hot.
Just leave the teabag in the cup.
I'll do my own pouring.'

Without you
I got to make it through without you,
I so sad to say that how much I had missed you,
I have mistreated you,
Took you for granted,
I am sorry for what I have done,
There is nothing I can do to make you stay,
Just say that we may remain as friends,
I am here without you,
You are there having fun with someone you probably love,
You probably don’t remember me,
I once took people for granted without knowing the consequences,
The consequences of hurt and pain,
Without you I have made me strong but yet still missing you,
1 there is nothing wrong with me,
2 there is something I have to say,
3 I am here with out you,
4 I miss you terribly,
But all is fair love is war.

Few 'May' Have a Clue
The life given to me,
I have made it my own.
With time taken to structure,
And develop with interests...
All that what was needed,
To make adjustments and correct.
And sometimes finding myself...
Defenseless against a public critiquing done.
But what I've chosen to do,
Was to prove to 'myself'...
Challenges and obstacles I will face.
And fear I may feel...
But its appearance from me will not be shown.
Few 'may' have a clue what it has taken...
Even to produce 'this',
For others to disregard 'after' they read!

Action and Its Reaction
Every action has reaction
Either in favor or for friction
What does law of attraction say?
Like charges repel and unlike charges stay
Man is after all man
Full of actions and human
May have all types of repercussions
Sometimes garland and some times accusations
Life is full of chase
It is never an easy phase
He has to struggle
With lots of troubles
Life is full of challenges
He has to rewrite it on new pages
So it is possible to face fall
And same time invites beautiful call too
Submission and rejection are two different thins
It may positively yield or result in dismal things
If he proposes and some disposes off
It doesn't mean or result in laugh off
He has lot more to say and accept
Give place to some one and some one to reject
It is entirely his discretion to own
At the same time to make it known
Man is in full control of situation
In love, trade or for similar continuation
He has the success key to hold and excel
Prove to the people and fears to dispel

Life just 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react
Life 10% what happens and 90% your reaction on the happenings
We are free to choose
Our response in any given situation
But we are not free to
Choose the consequences of those actions
Our actions,
Those governed by right principles
Bring positive results
Dishonesty in dealing can
Bring social consequences,
Depending on whether or not
We are found out
And
Also are our natural consequences
Fix result of our actions,
Which Indian Philosophy puts as Karma
That means our choice of response, in a way,
Is our choice of consequences
The important and decisive factor in life
Is not what happens to us
But, the way
We take towards what happens

Freedom is all I want...
I'm sick of always being the good one,
I want to be a normal teenager,
Have normal teenage problems,
And most importantly be a teenager,
I want to make decisions,
And learn from them,
I want to take riskes,
And not think of the consequences,
Why does everyone get to have this...
But me,
Maybe I'm just too good?
I want a change,
I need a change,
But how do I even begin?
Can't you just let me go?
Let me fly,
I can do this...
You know deep down inside I will always make the right decisions in the end,
But for now I wanna be set free,
You only live once,
I want to make the best of it,
And just have FUN! ♥

Challenges
Life is full of challenges
with every step we take.
Each day we wake up
to new challenges
for us to get through
and each day we face them
to win our way through.

Too Brave Are Those Orphaned
Too brave are those orphaned by a society.
And unaccustomed to display their fears.
Too brave these days are they not given consideration,
For the challenges they must face.
And unlike others given options to escape.
Too brave are the ones living alone,
To adapt immediately to situations...
Others could not and will not condoned.
Perhaps from a feeling of being trapped,
To accept conditions they wish they could disown.
And too brave are they unspoiled by fantasies.
With a speaking of their minds,
Regardless who opposes and may disagree...
When given an opportunity to be upfront,
And express from their hearts an honesty.
