Can't run from the pain.. Run toward it - jay z lol
This actually helped me realise, the pain is coming either way, might as well run straight into it laughing in its face.

To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities – I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not – that one endures.

I will happily re-post my signature for all of posterity, seeing as I regularly change it.

Quote:

"Being gentle means forgiving yourself when you mess up. We should learn from our mistakes, but we shouldn't beat the tar out of ourselves over them. The past is just that, past. Learn what went wrong and why. Make amends if you need to. Then drop it and move on."

-Sean Covey

"You are at the source of being fat, sick, tired, broke, angry, depressed, and lonely. Stop blaming your boss, family, neighbor, lover, government, society, or God. You are the one at the scene of the crime every time something goes wrong in your life. Stop looking for a fall guy, a scapegoat, or an innocent bystander to pin your problems on. Until you take ownership for your life, you will always be chasing happiness."

- Sean Stephenson

^ Oooo, good one! Harsh, but true!

Probably been said, maybe even by me, but:

If you think you can, or, if you think you can't...you're right.

shoppin_spree · 11-06-2009, 01:53 AM

Not sure if this ones been on here yet...or if it'll help but...

"To be envious is to be ignorant of your own unique divine spark"

i guess it just helps when im really down and wish i was someone else. someone better. prettier. happier.

but i'll admit, it doesnt always work.

I've always liked the phrase I've got in my signature - it's the motto of the Royal Air Force, and is usually translated as "Through struggle to the stars".

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

~ Rumi ~
