Basic Info BioHere's a few things I've learned about myself over the years - in no particular order:
- I'm generally happy to be but will admit to being a tad firey when it involves something/someone that I'm passionate about
- I bounce back quickly because I have a healthy aversion to drama and negativity
- I love my idealism. Ironically, it's also the part I wish I could change about myself
- I can be a wee bit stubborn upon occasion (I blame my Celtic roots for that one)
- I will kill my own spiders, but I'd really rather not. Let's face it...they're nasty little buggers
"If you are not happy here and now, you never will be."
~ Han Shan
"If you do not get it from yourself,
Where will you go for it?"
~ Zenrin-kushu
"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy."
