Occurrences can be unpredictable. If we have to endure a cascade of rumpling coincidences, it’s fate that dictates our lives, taking over the common procedure of ‘timing,’ and, thus, sealing the bondage of our free choice.

Let us not be our own worst enemy by enduringly looking on the dark side of things. ("Being my best friend" )

Let us 'inspire' intently and breathe 'consciously' and instill the 'inspiration' that guides us to create a fearless future. We can then 'expire' infinitely and emanate insight and thought, and deliver tools for the others on the sideline. ("'My radio ")
