Continue reading“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.” -Soren Kierkegaard This stuck a chord with me because I pride myself on being a problem solver. I always look for the solution. The thing is, sometimes there isn’t a solution. Sometimes a thing is meant to be just the way […]
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender.” ― Tupac Shakur It’s great to read quotes and motivational pieces like the one you are about to read. I’ve found that the more I do of both, the more my personality changes for the better; […]
“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.” -Lou Holtz This ratio basically means that it’s really how you respond to life that matters (in case that wasn’t obvious). I think if the quote went like this, “Life is not what happens to you, but how you […]

It reminds me to always go above and beyond what others expect of me, and far beyond what I expect of myself. It reminds […]

Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Religion without sacrifice. Politics without principle. Just now, as I was trying to figure out which way to go with […]
“The Paradoxical Commandments People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and […]
“Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.” ― George Carlin It is sometimes hard for me to relate to other people’s situations because of the “unconventional” life I […]
