110.Camel Crushing

Hello again, and today is Thursday, January 3, 2012. If any of you know what it's like to fail at doing something, you know it can feel awful. But even though we have to brush ourselves off and get back up stronger than before. It reminds me of a quote; β€œThe greatest challenges are given to the strongest warriors.” I understand the implications of this quote but it also brings to mind the quote about straws, camels, and back breaking. I mean after each struggle we emerge stronger but at one point we all fear that the final struggle, the final straw, will break and crush our backs and souls. But where can you get in life if you live in constant fear of failure and being beaten? You can only get one place. Nowhere. And you get there fast. The fear is false and is only there to hinder you. Let it atrophy and wither away with the rest of your misgivings.

As always,
ZenMercury.

I think a lot about many things, but don't like to think about one thing too much; I'm kind of a rambling man.

Taking Chances.

Sometime there's no easy route, No way to skirt around. Sometimes there's no corners cut, No short paths can be found. Sometimes all you want's a break, But breaks just won't appear.

Why?

Why live in the pain of yesterday when tomorrow is never promised. Why stay in the past when the future is so much brighter. Why frown when smiling is so much more beautiful.

My Rant On Yesteryear

We all say 'Gosh, I'd love to live in the 60's.' or 'Life was so easy in 1992.' or something along those lines when we get all nostalgic. But what's so wrong with enjoying right now.

Live Life.. <3

As we grow up we learn that the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts.
