You can't take care of someone unless you take care of yourself first

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. – Tom Robbins

If you never try, you'll never know what you're worth

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow. – Mary Ann Radmacher

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need

But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Your life; your choice

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. - William Jennings Bryan

Moving On: no excuses

It is not the road ahead that wears you out – It is the grain of sand in your shoe. - Arabian proverb

Choose

Man is born as a seed; he can become a flower, he may not. It all depends on you, what you do with yourself; it all depends on whether you grow or you don´t. It is your choice-- and each moment the choice has to be faced; each moment you are on the crossroads. - Osho

So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers, all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's going to change, I'm going to change. This is the last of this sort of thing. I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die.

A long drive...

No regrets. Life goes on.

I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what I've had, and I'm not sad because I have it no longer. – Colette

New Order-Regret

an alias | MySpace Video

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart 

and then nothing turned itself inside out...

Try and be a sheet of paper with nothing on it. Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing, where something might be planted, a seed, possibly from the Absolute. - Rumi

For all that has been: Thanks

For all that shall be: Yes.

Simply the best...

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. – Flannery O’Connor

go go go go go you restless soul

Yes, life's a bowl of cherries
You can have as many as you can carry
And someone once said that life is like a cow
But I don't know how that applies
But anyhow here we are all on this planet
Taking everything for granted
But I think you've caught on to something
Don't let go
Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it
Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it

- Daniel Johnston, Go

Fly, Be Free

Him [Her] that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me. – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

We truck in the real

What is, is, and what might have been could never have existed. - Edward St. John Gorey

 

 

 

Open, open, open

On reflection, one of the things I needed to learn was to allow myself to be loved. – Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga

McVie/Buckingham Wisdom

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow

Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here

It’ll be, better than before

Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone. 

– Fleetwood Mac

You have the power to change yourself

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world... as in being able to remake ourselves. - Mohandas K. Gandhi
