Once you find something you love to do, never, never give it up! If you do throw it into the wind other than the fact that you’ve grown tired of it and it’s no longer enjoyed..then feel free to toss it. Otherwise, when it’s gone a piece of your soul will be gone as well. You will find yourself empty, incomplete. Just a few words of advise. :-))Only those who reach will ever achieve their dreams.
Make it a great weekend PP!
Stay there in thy closet, and toil, until the rest are agreed what to do about it. Your sickness, they say, and your puny habit, require that thou do this or avoid that, but know that thy life is a flitting state, a tent for a night, and do thou, sick or well, finish that stint. Thou art sick, but shalt not be worse, and the universe, which holds thee dear, shall be the better. We must be very suspicious of the deceptions of the element of time. It takes a good deal of time to eat or to sleep, or to earn a hundred dollars, and a very little time to entertain a hope and an insight which becomes the light of our life. We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! -- it seems to say, -- there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power. |
