you are awesome
Do you agree?
== YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY (REMIX) ==
The lesson: those you can please, those you are pleasing, please them the most. Less friction, time saved, and in turn, they'll be inspired to
please others — continuing that voyage.
When you're on life's journeys, dead ends suck. Don't get stuck with people who are dead ends. Don't put the seeds where the soil is infertile.
Growing can be uncomfortable and unsettling, but being stagnant is a false comfort. Saying too much when you should do a little is self-deception. It all ultimately catches up to you while you lie, and crushes your spirit. Screws you over.
But killing ambition never, ever happens all at once. That's why it's so hard to visualize the moving targets every day, then hit one damn thing after another.
Some say it takes courage to stand up for what you believe in. I think it also takes intense focus, because with so much noise and mind-junk, it's hard to clearly decide.
So, launch a preemptive strike against all that is mediocre and sloppy in your world. Familiarize yourself with humanity's foolish behavior, and perhaps you, like I, will come to an epiphany that its versatility and range is triumphantly dwarfed by a celebration of our creativity. Our passion. Down with the negative naysayers who barf on our dreams (and aren't working on making their own come true)! Turn away the unenlightened who blather scurrilous rumors without using Google! And deny anyone who's here to block our happiness.
They, as humans, can arise and be uplifted if they volunteer. Then comes understanding. No one can be forced to be happy. Nor will you ever be happy if you allow the low-minds to trash you.
Each of us makes our choices, some choices are made for us. And each day, even with so much we can't affect, there's so much we can. Like people you can please; focus on where you can make a positive difference. Start here by recognizing the truth in the above statement.

Thanks Torley. I needed that... especially this section:
"Down with the negative naysayers who barf on our dreams (and aren't working on making their own come true)! Turn away the unenlightened who blather scurrilous rumors without using Google! And deny anyone who's here to block our happiness."
This is exactly what is happening to me right now! I've turned away from the naysayers & am on my way to find my own way to happiness and success.
You are Awesome, Torley. :)

" YES!! not easy for me to do, but I'm getting better at it.
"focus on where you can make a positive difference". Amen.
I wish you could have been my Father, I surely hope I would have listened.
