If every day were a perfect day, we’d never grow. We’d never discover the awesome potential for good that we have within. It’s the imperfect days that challenge us and make us think and develop the resilience we need to overcome any challenge.
Joe: “My boss walked by and told me to have a great day.”
Pete: “What did you do?”

“Write something you are passionate about. Your passion will carry you through the ups and downs of the process.” ~ Bill Higgs
“God is like the sun; you cannot look at it, but without it you cannot look at anything else.”

What we think and what we say are not as influential as what we do. Our every action has an affect on someone or something. Our collective actions describe our character, values, and person.
Laughter has physiological effects; it changes body chemistry and brain function.
“Learn to let go. Let go of old drafts that aren’t going anywhere, or scenes that don’t work. Don’t spend months tweaking a fundamentally flawed project when you can move on to the wonderful new projects that are percolating in your head. The ‘you must start what you finish’ attitude—although admirable—can actually be a pitfall, because it prevents you from taking a necessary course correction when you need it.” ~ Leslie Lutz
And what is Hope? The puffing gale of morn,
That of its charms divests the dewy lawn,
And robs each flow’ret of its gem—and dies;
A cobweb, hiding disappointment’s thorn,
Which stings more keenly through the thin disguise.
And what is Death? Is still the cause unfound?
That dark mysterious name of horrid sound?
A long and lingering sleep the weary crave.
And Peace? Where can its happiness abound?
Nowhere at all, save heaven and the grave.
