Pessimism

How many pessimists end up by desiring the things they fear, in order to prove that they are right?

Listen

"You can learn a lot more from listening than you can from talking. Find someone with whom you don't agree in the slightest and ask them to explain themselves at length. Then take a seat, shut your mouth, and don't argue back. It's physically impossible to listen with your mouth open."

~ John Moe, Radio Host and and author of Conservatize Me as found on Starbucks' "The Way I See It #280"

Losing Hope

Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
But hanging on is easy
When you've got a friend to call
When nothings making sense at all
You're not the only one that's afraid of change

~Jack Johnson, Losing Hope

Look What I Found

Just look what I found when I wasn't looking
Look what I found when I was just being me
I turned around and love was mine for the taking
Look what I found when she found me

Now there's a lot of lonely people out there waiting
And there's a lot of lonely people searching too
But if you've got too many expectations
You might miss the one who's right in front of you

~Chris Cagle, Look What I Found

Sometimes

"sometimes your life can crumble
sometimes your soul might make a stumble
but you can't drown in your sorrow
cause you might be found
you might be found tomorrow"

Destiny

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You don't blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the President. You realize that you control your own destiny.

~Albert Ellis

Laziness

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

Today

You looked right through me
When there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself
Today... today
You are the one
I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun
That's been baiting on today

~Joshua Radin, Today
