I WILL NEVER GIVE UP. I WILL STAND IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM AND TAKE SHELTER IN MY OWN STRENGTH. I WILL NEVER FORSAKE THOSE WHO RELY ON ME. I WILL NEVER BREAK MY WORD ONCE IT IS GIVEN. I WILL RISE ABOVE THOSE WHO UNDERESTIMATE ME. I WILL RISE ABOVE THOSE WHO MISJUDGE ME. I WILL RISE ABOVE THOSE WHO WRONGED ME. I WILL RISE ABOVE THE PAIN. I WILL TAKE THE HITS AND I WILL KEEP MOVING, FOR NOTHING CAN STOP ME WHEN I AM ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. I WILL NEVER BETRAY THE ONES WHO TRUST ME AND LOVE ME. I WILL NEVER COMPROMISE MY OWN PRINCIPLES, MORALS, AND BELIEFS FOR SOMETHING THAT GOES AGAINST THEM. I WILL NEVER STRAY FROM THE PATH OF JUSTICE. I WILL DARE TO BE THE GREATEST. I WILL DARE TO TAKE RISKS. I WILL DARE TO SUCCEED. I WILL BE THE BEST PERSON I KNOW. I WILL BE A LIGHT FOR THE HUNGERING HUMAN SOULS AROUND ME. THERE IS A GREATER PURPOSE THAN I, AND I WILL FULFILL MY OBLIGATION TO HUMANITY. I WILL NEVER COMPLAIN WITH THE GOING GETS TOUGH, I WILL BE A FOUNTAIN OF STRENGTH FOR THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING. MY LIFE IS NOT WORTH MORE THAN ANY LIVING BEING'S LIFE, FOR ALL LIVING THINGS ON THIS EARTH HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE.
i tend to limit myself to trying not to be an idiot. the rest kinda falls into place, and i improvise where needed.
That's actually sometimes all you need. A philosophy that I find dangerous, I am sure there are things you wouldn't negotiate?
Honor, God and family before all. Be bound by my word: give it with predjudice but once given be bound by it. Be kind to others, be patient but lay down for no one. Be strong enough to weather the storm but compassionate enough to realize others may not be. Avoid needless conflict, verbal or otherwise, unless the principle behind it is worthy of battle. Walk away rather than be drawn in. Theres more but I think you get the point.
It's sort of like a mantra for me to recite these things when life hits me hard and kicks me when I am down.
1. Breathe, relax, smile. 2. Acceptance, Patience and Compassion. It this case Acceptance means seeing reality as it is not as how you would like it to be.
Oh, no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBR2G-iI3-I"]I Will Survive - YouTube[/ame]
Kuma Sorry but this came to mind. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JidfV5xvdjY&feature=youtube_gdata_player"]Exploring your masculinity - from In & Out - YouTube[/ame] I don't dance but that's down to an inability to maintain any rhythm whilst music is playing.
A raging inferno of emotions coupled with a sharp unhesitating mind can intimidate most. Sometimes, it's not the individual with the sharpest mind or the strongest body who wins, but the individual with the immortal will. Keep company a skeptical mind, a compassionate heart, an indomitable will, and live life the way you want to the absolute fullest.
