 OPPPS !!!!..
Look into your heart and listen to what it says. Allow yourself to
dream, and dream big! Then, live your life now in preparation for the life
you want tomorrow. Dare to explore avenues that will lead you to your
dreams, and stay away from paths and temptations that will lead you away
from where you are meant to be. If you make a wrong turn, acknowledge it,
but do not waste your time. Instead, get up, start over, and continue
moving ahead.

YinYang - a universal symbol of mystery of one's wholeness.

- the overall vision of wholeness translated into a psychological
model of development for personality or the self.
– The Yin-Yang symbol holds its roots
in Taoism/Daoism, a Chinese religion
and philosophy. The yin, the dark
swirl, is associated with shadows,
femininity, and the trough of a wave;
the yang, the light swirl, represents
brightness, passion and growth.
 > wholeness as a person whose essence is without beginning and never
ending.

> knowing your personality or ego can help you identify and recognize
your basic fears and your basic desires which constitute your core self and
self-image.

> it helps us to be aware of our hidden or uncosncious patterns of thoughts

and behaviors which tend to focus on certain aspects of an experience
while leaving other aspects in the dark.
