Sayings...

Lately i have been thinking a lot about sayings that can help motivate and inspire people. Its to do with things that you are or are beocming but not aware of, things that you feel inside, things you speak about but dont act upson and things that just might make you open your eyes.

I spent the day to day with a pad and pen and just writing things which came to mind. Anything. Everything. Maybe it doesnt make sense....maybe it doesnt need to make sense. The point is to make you look inside yourself and realise who you really are.

Here goes:

"People follow rules, for what? They're letting fear lead them. Life's simple. You make choices and you don't look back."

-This is a personal one that really sunk in to me when i was thinking about it and putting it into an understandable context -

"I have money. It's trust and character i need around me. Who you choose to be around lets you know who you are! And one present in exchange for knowing wht a person's made of, thats a price i can live with."

"I kind of made myself an outsider, without even thinking about it. But i realise now, outsider or insider, it doesn't really matter. All that matters is knowing what you really want....and going after it."

"For want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe, the steed was lost. For want of the steed, the message was not delivered. For want of an undelievered message, the war was lost."

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."

"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are."

"Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving."

People please try to understand and in some way try to relate and incorporate into your lives.

Different Atmosphere...?

Today has been boring!! I had to accompany myself, eat by myself, watch movies by myself. Usually in all of these circumstances, Gie would be a part of. Now, after dropping her at the airport yesterday, i promised myself that i wouldnt get to emotionally upset or anything like that. I mean its only 2 weeks right?? WELL today i found that ONE day goes extremely slowly. And was not able to contact her when i wanted to due to my phone deciding to not get any signal for a whole half of a day.

So during the day i watched Epic Movie, just like Date Movie, but lamer and also watch Little Children which was meant to watch with Gie one time but feel asleep on her stomach teehee I saw Sunny briefly and also put money in the bank so temporarily my funds have increased muhahaha

So all that occupied my time from mid morning to around 2.15pm. Then i got ready for work, went to work and was able to call Gie just before as there was signal then. We had a small chat and then departed. I was suppsed to play soccer but game was moved to 6.30 & i was still working so couldnt play. Was going to go out with Sunny and the gang to Concas but had a family dinner to attend so decided against it.

Got home and Ryan came to me and said "Dad found a cigarette lighter in the washing machine"! you can guess my reaction as i knew that id get lectured or accused of doing something. Thankfully i told him it was Sunny's and i had it because he gave it to me to hold as he was doing something else and i forgot i had it.

So, that was my day. Am chatting with Zaneta now and will give Anggie a call soon.

Have good night all.

Why?

There is one thing that has troubled me throughout my adult life. The way people like to follow people around and do what others do and think because they feel like outsiders if they do not do what others do. It frustrates me. It annoys me.

To illustrate my point, in a topic i was discussing earlier this week, an incident happened where originally the person did not make a big deal about it. But upon hearing of another person's disapproval of what happened, they suddenly became different towards the situatio. Now i don't know if it is because they had just become aware of what happened or something but it makes me think

Why not be yourself? If it is not a problem for you, why make it one?

I don't really want to think about it anymore, so i won't.

Tomorrow night at 8.30pm, Almost Famous FC have a soccer game at Leeming Rec against Los Muchachos. Anyone interested in watching and/or cheering us on are more than welcome to attend. :)
