Learn to detach...Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent... But detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate fully. That's how you are able to leave it...
Take any emotion--love for a woman, or grief for a loved one, or fear and pain from a deadly illness. If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid.
You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that love entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely.
You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, 'All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment. - Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
This is for the one who introduced me to Fireflies! Keeps me going on those long nights! :~)
Because everything is never as it seems…Owl city fire flies

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If nature allowed us to go through life without any obstacles, It would cripple us.
We would not be as strong as we could have been And we could never fly.
Have a great day, great life, and struggle a little. Then fly!
