...You are able for you are not half a being
"Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half
talented
Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are
finished
Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results Your other half is not the one you love It is you in another time yet in the same
space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent What makes you a stranger to them
closest to you
and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability but you are able for you are not half a
being
You are a whole that exists to live a life
not half a life"
~Khalil Gibran

Hi Wise! 😊❤️ I cannot thank you enough for your amazing forum post! I have never read this before and I'm so grateful that you provided it for me so that I could today! I have bookmarked this, to revisit and to read it over and over. You have no idea how very much this resonated with me and it was something that I really needed to hear today!
I'm going to tag some pretty pivotal people here on 7 cups so that they can have the benefit of reading this as well, if they would like to.
Inspiration comes from many sources and I see this source as incredibly valuable. What a great read for anyone that has to make choices in life. What a great read for anyone that needs a bit of comfort. What a great read for anyone that doesn't want to accept mediocrity, that doesn't want to do it half way, that is constantly forward thinking and has the "I'm either all in, or I'm all out" attitude! Reading this can make one feel pretty good about their approach to things! 😊❤️😊
Wise, again, thank you so much for your gift to all of us today! *high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️
