Inspiration @ MindSay

it IS worth it. you ARE complex and beautiful. it IS happening for a reason. it WILL change your life.



you DO have the power to change the world. you ARE inspiring.

There's a song concept I'm kind of fixated on.

Every so often there's a new idea that comes up in here. Lyrics, instrumental, piano, orchestral (for when I'm feeling delusional, of course - I have NO experience with orchestra). Just an idea I like to play around with.

Another random happy love song, kind of. I'm not sure if it's more directed to the object of affection or God, because it definitely acknowledges both. I think it's talking to God about the love interest, but with a tilt towards Creation. I like it.

The goofy thing is that one of my campers inspired me....after I had started toying with it. It'll happen sometimes that a particular character evokes some cool phrases, that I wouldn't have thought about if I didn't know them. But I started playing around with this concept, and then I met her. And within days, I had more of the lyrics.

But, it's still very unfinished. So, no sharey. Not yet, anyway.

The following was presented by Dr. Jim Dubel, D.C., whom I don't know, but I found his words to be something that majority of us can relate to. I always look for new ways to grow by reminding myself through these self-evident truths.

 

 

I believe - That we don`t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

 

I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they`re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe - That it`s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can`t.

I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe - That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and
there had better be something else to take its place.

I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe - That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you`re down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe - That sometimes when I`m angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn`t give me the right to be cruel.

I believe - That just because someone doesn`t love you the way you want them to doesn`t mean they don`t love you with all they have.

I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you`ve had and what you`ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you`ve celebrated.

I believe - That it isn`t always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn`t stop for your grief.

I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe - That you shouldn`t be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I believe - That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don`t even know you.

I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

 

Appreciated his over all message, to GIVE. Although he may have beat around the bush a bit, he wants people to give. sacrificing self needs, desires, objects and Ideas is something this world needs more than a bunch of selfish people who are unhappy. You recieve much more when you give than you do recieving.

I am not an easy person to get to truly know.
It is rare for me to show my true self to anyone.
This reluctance to express my feelings openly is steeped in a fear
of being exposed to attack.
Despite my cautious approach to showing my emotions, my passions run deep.
Emotionally, there are very few gray areas for me.
I either love something or you hate it.

I thrive on intense emotional situations and unrestrained passion.
The world's many mysteries enthrall me.

Although deeply emotional,I am very good at keeping my feelings in check
when events call for a cool head and clear thinking.

I am very curious about everything around me.
I love anything that challenge me mentally.
However, I am a bit of an intellectual gypsy,
and rarely stay with any one subject long enough to fully understand it.
Subjects simply grow stale very fast for me,
and the next subject is a lure I cannot resist.

I learn very quickly and I have the ability
to see why things are the way they are
and sometimes where they are going in the future.

Nothing irritates me more today than small-minded prejudices.

My goals in life are not usually mainstream in nature.
I tend to draw my goals from my innerworld.

I tend to keep both my frustrations and my hopes to myself.
At times I lack confidence and the courage to take action.
I need to develop self-assurance.
