Beautiful Day

Andrew Bolt - fascinating/Julian Assange - heroic

It's been good to have some alone time this week. Usually my nights consist of catching up with friends or family I haven't seen in a while because they all work during the day so it's the only available time for us. This week has been a little different though. I've had a couple of nights to really regurgitate my restlessness and it's been great to just relax alone. Usually I'd feel bad doing this but sometimes I need a break from everyone. Sometimes I just want to catch up with myself because I swear it feels like it's been months. I think it's important to really take some time out otherwise you'll go crazy living your life continually fuelled by the mere purpose of pleasing everyone else. If you feel like staying home and reading, watching tv, eating or even just sitting in sheer silence then you are entitled to it. I always notice people (myself included) thinking that they HAVE to do this or that otherwise this person or that person won't be happy. What about your happiness?

"Kahlil Gibran once wrote; 'You're reason and your passion are the rudder.. and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burn to it’s own destruction.'"

There's always someone worse off than you.

There's always a situation you could be stuck in that could be worse.

You could always be feeling worse than you are now.

Remember that and live by it.
