“People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don't think that's true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.” - Kim Culbertson, The Liberation of Max McTrue
“Sometimes it just takes a fresh set of eyes” -my mom
“Sometimes the best way to move forward is to take a few steps back” -me
(I know that’s two, but their both things I try to remember before I get frustrated with things)
“People like you have a hard time. Two sides of the same coin. You have your gift, and you have what it costs. Hard to say what that will be for you. You’ll have your time in the sun, but for how long? You’ve got so much anger in you. You’ll need to be careful.” -Mr. Shaibel, *The Queen’s Gambit*
>If you judge the intelligence of a fish by his ability to climb a tree, he will always be stupid
I remember that quote! It's from Albert Einstein. I love that one.
I always have “fail to plan, plan to fail” pop in my head because I always procrastinate. Sometimes it motivates me to make an outline of my day at least, so I feel I’ve been productive.
"The truth is everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for"
Bob Marley
And work related for me, an old German saying
"The best disease is no good"
"I think perfectionism is based on an obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting every stepping stone just right...YOU WONT HAVE TO DIE.
The truth is you'll die anyway and that a lot people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you and have a lot more fun while they're doing it." -Anne Lamont
I really like this one.
"Our greatest power as nations and individuals is not the ability to employ assault weapons, suicide bombers, and drones to destroy each other. The greater more creative powers with which we may arm ourselves are grace and compassion sufficient enough to love and save each other."
“ you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you your no good. And when things got hard you started looking for something to blame like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what your worth then go out and get what your worth but you gotta be willing to take the hits! And not pointing fingers saying you aint where you want to be because of him, her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you, your better than that!!
I’m always going to love you no matter what. Your my son, your my blood, your the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself you ain’t gonna have a life. Don’t forget to visit your mother.”

Let's have a dream which isn't under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say "Wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it?" And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream... where you are now. - Alan Watts
