It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.

Keep on partying!
Today I want to share some wise words from Andrew W. K. with you.
After being asked
Hi Andrew.
I’m dating a guy who refuses to give up on his dreams of rock stardom. While it’s admirable in a way, I need a little bit more stability if we’re going to make this work. How can I gently break this to him?
he replied
Don’t you dare say anything to him about giving up his dream.
You’re not the right person for him.
Never ask someone to give up on their dream just so you can feel more stable. It’s his choice and his choice alone, no matter how ridiculous his dreams may seem to you, or to society, or even to himself.
Dreams make humans into self-realized individuals. Your only responsibility is to love everything about him, including his dreams. The idea of “making this work” sounds more like a way to make his life more boring and predictable. At worst, it’s a genuine sadistic desire to control someone else because your own life feels out of control – or a cruel need to dominate and break someone’s spirit for the sake of your own peace of mind.
Look for stability and peace of mind inside yourself, and not in your relationships or in controlling the dreams of others.
Do what you want, never let down, and keep on partying.
Andrew W.K.
Well, if that is not an awesome response! (She might disagree though)

You set your own limits
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.
Richard Bach
As long as you believe in your limits, they exist. You are the only one to overcome them so you should start with doubting them at least.
Accept motivation, accept being cheered up, do not search for problems, instead look for solutions and hope!

The winner
The Winner – is always part of the answer;
The Loser – is always part of the problem;
The Winner – always has a program;
The Loser – always has an excuse.
The Winner – says, “Let me do it for you”;
The Loser – says, “That’s not my job”;
The Winner – sees an answer for every problem;
The Loser – sees a problem for every answer;
The Winner – sees a green near ever sand trap;
The Loser – sees two or three sand traps near every green
The Winner – says, “It may be difficult but it’s possible”
The Loser – says, “It may be possible but it’s too difficult”
Be a winner.

Happiness is all around you
Happiness is like glass. It may be all around you, yet invisible. But if you change your angle of viewing a little, then it will reflect light more beautifully than any other object around you.
