Visual Inspiration #5

Photo Background   
There are no kangaroos in Austria??? BUT I am surprise to witness the power of love from this Canadian lady (Katie Whitall) that gave her strength to lift her man (Jordan Casey) on the street of Innsbruck, Austria. Their love inspired me so much that I decided to feature them in my inspiration collection.

Love no limits to its ENDURANCE; no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands still when all else has fallen.

Visual Inspiration #4

Photo Background   
This was taken while on the way from England to France at the English Channel. It is my first step away from UK and my very first step into mainland Europe. Breathtaking view as I can see across the channel from France & wave goodbye to the English White Dover... What a fantastic way of starting my Europe adventure!

Over the same sea, on the same winds; A ship sails in one direction, another in opposite. It is not the wind that decides which direction the ship goes; Its the sails; how they are tied and how they are MANEUVERED.

Similarly, it is not fate that decides where your life is going; It is all about how you take life and where you take it to.

Visual Inspiration #3

Photo Background
Paris, a city of love and romance.
Dubbed the City of Light (la Ville Lumière) and Capital of Fashion.

This picture was taken at the Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is an 1889 iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

The tallest building in Paris, named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. Upon its completion, it surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct.

It is from numberless diverse acts of COURAGE and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.

Be master of your petty annoyances and CONSERVE your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
