The seemingly endless loop

She's everything a man could want
But she's not you!
And when we are dancing
It almost feels the same
I gotta stop myself from whispering your name
She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'coz she's not you...
......
...I gotta stop myself from whispering your name

Achieve what is humanly possible and then go beyond that to set new boundaries

"On 8 December 1995 at the age of 43, Jean Dominique Bauby suffered a massive stroke. When he woke up twenty days later, he found he was entirely speechless; he could only blink his left eyelid. Called locked-in syndrome, this is a condition wherein the mental faculties remain intact but most of the body is paralyzed. In Bauby's case his mouth, arms, and legs were paralyzed, and he lost 27 kilograms (60 lb) in the first 20 weeks after his stroke.
Despite his condition, he wrote the book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by blinking when the correct letter was reached by a person slowly reciting the alphabet over and over again using a system called partner-assisted scanning. Bauby composed and edited the book entirely in his head, and dictated it one letter at a time. To make dictation more efficient, Bauby's interlocutor, Claude Mendibil, listed the letters in accordance with their frequency in the French language. The book was published in France on 7 March 1997. Bauby died suddenly from pneumonia ten days after the publication of his book, and is buried in a family grave at the Père-Lachaisecemetery in Paris, France " - Wikipedia

In practically the most difficult state, the man wrote a book. Again, it shows that our capabilities are only bounded by our thoughts. Think and act!
