Simple Everyday Thoughts !

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other
and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
~Vincent Van Gogh

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm
terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient
reason for remaining ashore.

If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint,"
then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Great things are done by a series of small things
brought together.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me
from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day
in the year.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up
every time we fail.

The reward of a thing well done is having done it.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost
almost 300 games. I've failed over and over and over again
in my life. And that is why I succeed.
~Michael Jordan

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results
will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if
I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results
will come.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen,
others make it happen.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that
you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived
weakness into a strength.

METAPHOR :: Mrs. Moon !

ENGLISH METAPHOR :: A metaphor is another kind of comparison. It is actually a condensed simile, for it omits "as" or "like." A metaphor establishes a relationship at once; it leaves more to the imagination than a simile. EXAMPLE POETRY :: Mrs. Moon sitting up in the sky Little Old Lady rock-a-bye with a ball of fading light and silvery needles knitting the night. ~Roger McGough [Mrs. Moon]

The Neurotics In Us !

No good neurotic finds it difficult to be both opinionated and indecisive. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 The neurotic has perfect vision in one eye, but he cannot remember which. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 The real is very real to him, the unreal even more so. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 As we are human, we can't do what we can't do; as we're neurotic, we can't do what we can. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 The neurotic doesn't know how to cope with his emotional bills; some he keeps paying over and over, others he never pays at all. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 I'm afraid to win, and afraid to lose; I hate a draw and can't stop competing; otherwise I'm fine. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 Others settle for small rewards; the neurotic must always go for broke. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook,

The Wolf Battle !

This is a story about an old man who explained to his young grandson, about a battle that was going on inside himself. The grandfather said, "My child, the battle inside me is between two wolves, one of whom is so evil, full of anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, hypocrisy, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is so good, full of remembrance of faith, joy, peace, love, compassion, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, and truthfulness." The grandson pondered for a minute and then asked: "Grandfather, which wolf will win the battle?" The grandfather replied simply, "The one I feed" EPILOGUE :: What the grandfather said is certainly FOOD for thought.
