The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain! It is the possibility that keeps me going, and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible. Well done is better than well said. Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever. It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs. Nothing will work unless you do! If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go. Then, start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible! Sometimes it's not enough to know what things mean, sometimes you have to know what things don't mean. Have a great Weekend!

When was the last time you woke up and realized that today could be the best day of your life? Participate in your dreams today. There are unlimited opportunities available with this new day. Take action on those wonderful dreams you've had in your mind for so long. Remember, success is something you experience when you act accordingly. Success is not something you HAVE, it’s something you DO! To recognize that the greatest error is not to have tried and failed, but that in trying, we did not give it our best effort. Always try and be a better person than you were yesterday, cause we aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. And remember if you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month! Have a great Thursday!

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future too. Be the change that you wish to see in the world. In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Of all sad words of mouth or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been! It's all in the view. That's what I mean about forever, too. For any one of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count. Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live. The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy. The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. Who are you to judge the life someone lives? Like Bob Marley said! I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean! And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years. Enjoy the little things in life for one day, you’ll look back and realize, they were the big things! Have a great HUMP day!

If you treat an individual as he/she is, he/she will remain how he/she is. But if you treat him or her as if they were what they ought to be and could be, they will become what they ought to be and could be. You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control. Why do we always teach ours that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want to do! You're never really as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose. There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose. The individual who says it is not possible should move out of the way of those doing it. Life gives us choices. You either grab on with both hands and just go for it, or you sit on the sidelines. Just because I liked something at one point in time doesn’t mean I’ll always like it, or that I have to go on liking it at all points in time as an unthinking act of loyalty to who I am as a person, based solely on who I was as a person. To be loyal to myself is to allow myself to grow and change, and challenge who I am and what I think. The only thing I am for sure is unsure, and this means I’m growing, and not stagnant or shrinking. You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength you need to move forward. With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bu****it story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it! Have a great Monday!

I feel wisdom can be gathered on your downtime. Wisdom that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television. Of course, bad information is gathered in your downtime too. Bad information that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television. One of wisdom's greatest benefits, is accurate discernment- the learned ability to immediately tell right from wrong. Good from evil. Acceptable from unacceptable. Time well spent from time wasted. The right decision from the wrong decision. And many times this is simply a matter of having the correct perspective. One way to define wisdom is THE ABILITY TO SEE, INTO THE FUTURE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CHOICES IN THE PRESENT. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like... with a degree of intelligence and a hint of wisdom, most people can tell the difference between good and bad. However, it takes a truly wise person to discern the oh-so-thin line between good and best. And that line, gives you the perspective that allows you to see clearly the long-term consequences of your choices. It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.

I believe that anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself. You see, the best thing about wrong decisions is that they don’t prevent you from making the right decisions later on. It’s harder, but it’s not impossible. Probably the wisest words that were ever uttered to me. Came from a therapist talking to a friend of mine, “NO not me”! haha. she was sitting in her office, crying her eyes out. . . and she said, "So let me get this straight. You base your personal happiness on things entirely out of your control?”. Don't wish it was easier wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. And in our suddenly realized glory of all our modern-day "advancements" we somehow fail to ask ourselves the question "Who designated myths and legends as unreality? " But I ask myself this question because who decided that he was spectacular enough to stand up and say to our ancestors "You were all stupid and disillusioned and imagining things" and then why did we all decide to believe this person? There are many realities not just one. There is a truth that goes far beyond what we are told today to believe in. And we find that truth when we are brave enough to break away from what keeps everybody else feeling comfortable. Your reality is what you believe in. And nobody should be able to tell you to believe otherwise. Have a great Tuesday!

You know that when we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, This is the problem I want to have. You will find that special person who is wrong for you in just the right way. Have a great HUMP day!

Always ask the questions you want to, life is too short to know if you'll get a second chance to ask , and afterlife is probably too long to wonder what the answer may be. To me the primary question of life organization is immensely important. If making money is the main goal, a person can often forget what his or her true interests are or how he or she wants to deserve recognition from others. It is much more difficult to add on other values to a life that started out with just making money in mind than it is to make some personally interesting endeavor financially possible or even profitable. You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in.. Everything I’ve ever done, ever thought, ever experienced, and ever felt, has led me up to this moment in my life. And after accumulating and culminating it, all I can say is, “Ahhhhh!!!! In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress. Transformation is my favorite game and in my experience, anger and frustration are the result of you not being authentic somewhere in your life or with someone in your life. Being fake about anything creates a block inside of you. Life can’t work for you if you don’t show up as you. You are someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that in my view is a serious illness. God chose you to be different. Why are you disappointing God with this kind of attitude? And hell I am not that religious.. Sometimes it's better to stop trying to make sense of things. Life isn't clear cut, there are always gray areas. Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why! Have a great HUMP day!
