Nothing else matters

I mean nothing
there’s nothing here
nothing else matters
I live only to die

I forgot which book I quoted this from, but it mentioned it was taken off a prison wall somewhere. Talk about despair and event of a point of no return.


Envy

21 November, 2007

No matter how much a person is abundantly bestowed, I’m sure, at one point or another, he or she must have envied someone else before.

I would put envy and gratitude on the same level, but the reverse of one another. So when you envy someone someday, count your blessings.

If it was an envy of material things or status, even better is to challenge yourself to convert that envy to be your motivation, to strive for the similar height or stature.

“Feeling grateful to or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.”

“There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.”
