Love and Marriage by Charlie BadenhopI saw Okada-san again yesterday and she got very excited when I told her I had written some heartwarming stories about her recently. She particularly lit up when I told her my stories were mainly read by "gaijin" (foreigners).

"Oh my goodness," she said, "Who would have ever thought I'd be playing some role in communicating to thousands of foreigners!"
"I feel a bit like the foreign minister," she said, "But without all the political responsibilities."

"Please be sure to tell them all I said Hello! And be sure to let them know I bowed to each and every one of them." She said while bobbing up and down several times.

I could tell her mind was really in overdrive.

This script serves our dreams as nourishment, but to our battles as energy. And as it always happens with the warriors that spend all their energy in the Good Fight, there are moments in which it is best to relax and believe that the Universe is still working for us secretly, even if we cannot comprehend it.

In Search of the Dream by Paulo CoelhoThose who dare having a project in life, foregoing everything to live their Personal Legend, will end up achieving anything. The important thing is to keep the fire in your heart and be strong to overcome hard moments.

Remember, the desires that are in our souls do not come from the nothingness; someone put them there. And this someone, who is pure love and only wishes our happiness, only did it because he gave us, together with these desires, the tools to make them happen.
