Note to self: do what you can’t until you can.


 At the end of the day, people will let you down, they will label you as something you are not, it is all to make them feel better, it is about them not you. – Leon Brown


“There’s nothing wrong with hard work, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of life’s more important areas: health, relationships, passion.”


“Yesterday’s solutions may not work tomorrow.”


“The journey is less difficult when we find meaning in the struggle.”


“A paintbrush can create a masterpiece. A paintbrush can destroy a masterpiece. An idle paintbrush, however, does nothing at all.”


“You may have to endure today’s pain to avoid tomorrow’s suffering.”


“There’s often a large difference between what you want and what you think you want.”


“Dreams usually don’t cost money, but the pursuit of money often costs dreams.”


“Accept it, fix it, or let it go.”

“Being cool has nothing to do with the stuff we own: it has everything to do with the ways we act, the ways we treat other people, the ways we contribute—those are the attributes that make people cool.”

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
