To try

Some people say I cannot sing,
but no one can say I didn’t sing.

Florence Foster Jenkins, American Soprano

It is better to have tried and failed than not to have attempted at all, no? It is indeed quite frightening to take risks and try new things. We think, “What if I fail?” What if you do? It won’t be your first mistake. And no matter how bad it is, it probably won’t be your worst mistake. Life’s saddest words are found on a tombstone that reads: “When it came time to die, I had not lived.”

Mutual exclusion?

Saw the following quote today. However, can’t say that I am entirely convinced by it.

We can judge others or we can love others – but we can’t do both at the same time.

Expect the best

End of year: time for some new resolutions. Basically, don’t short-sell yourself! 🙂

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!

Christian D. Larson, American Author and Educator

A gift

The secret of happiness is the realization that life is a gift, not a right.

Stop running away…

Stop leaving and you will arrive.
Stop searching and you will see.
Stop running away and you will be found.

Lao Tzu, Chinese Philosopher
