Wanting to be someone you’re not is a waste of the person you are.

The truth is, everybody is going to hurt you, you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no… a thousand times “no,” until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And then… YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.

Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.

If whats ahead scares you, and whats behind hurts you, look above for help.

Happiness needs sadness. Success needs failure. Benevolence needs evil. Love needs hatred. Victory needs defeat. Pleasure needs pain. You must experience and accept the extremes. Because if the contrast is lost, you lose appreciation; and when you lose appreciation, you lose the value of everything.

The real truth is, I probably don’t want to be too happy or content. Because, then what? I actually like the quest, the search. That’s the fun. The more lost you are, the more you have to look forward to. What do you know? I’m having a great time and I don’t even know it.
