    "Perhaps you feel tired, empty, or depressed because you are draining energy as you push your inner desires to the rear of your awareness. Denying inner truth is like trying to keep the lid on a pressure cooker that has built up too much steam. Try as you will, you can't contain it. If you know in your heart that you're not using your most precious gifts or pursuing your dreams, you will not feel passion for the path that you are on.
    A certain numbness may even take hold, where you go through the motions and even perform pretty well, but at the end of the day you do not feel full. Rather it feels as though something is missing, and it is, a special part of you. To live authentically is to make a difference with the gifts we've been given and to follow the dreams that ignite our passion." - Suzanne Zoglio

    That's bullshit, cos most things you call a mistake are negative things.

    TV cookery is very like internet porn - the overwhelming majority of its audience will never ever get to act out what's happening on screen.

    What would you like to do if money were no object?

    If you say that getting the money is the most important, you will spend your life completely wasting your time.

    Better to have a short life full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
    Therefore, it's so important to consider this question,
    ''What do I desire?''

    -Alan Watts

    I like this quote but just remember Alan Watts came from a first world country. he might have a different view if he grew up in a poverty stricken country.

    Yes, the word mistake is a negative word, but in art, it transforms into accidents, happy ones. :superwink:

    A human being is part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separate from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it, but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.

    - Albert Einstein

    I am a rock
    I am an island
    And a rock feels no pain
    And an island never cries

    As an introvert I must be super social for I say hello to most animals I come across.
    Always saying hello to the cottage spiders, the various lifestock on the bike runs and birds when they fly close. I even greet the bees, wasps and other insects as I help them get back outside.

    Which brings to mind another quote, this one by Mohandas Gandhi:

    "There are people in this world so hungry that God can only appear to them in the form of bread."

    Saw this written down on a bridge: "Tomorrow you will die, was today worth it?" - Unknown

    It's good to remember our mortality.

    Good! Most of the animals we choose to live with like the validation that provides. No Bullshit, that's why they are able to live with us without attacking us!

    I mean, I get it... but I don't get it. Yup, penis...does the dude in the background have relevance?

    I'm lost.

    I wanted to be a penis when I was younger but chose guitar instead.
