feels like today (repost from myspace)

sepetember 6, 2007:

Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Some other place will be better,
some other time it will all turn out.
This is it.
No one else has the answer,
no other place will be better,
and it has already turned out.
- Lau Tzu


time spent complaining is time lost. time spent on jealousy is time wasted.
and what else do we have besides time? all we have is time. and it's what we do with that time that matters. and i dont mean grand life-schemes. i mean little moments. spent in love rather than in doubt. time spent building others up, rather than making them feel sorry for you. time spent in personal peace, enjoying what you have, rather than in envy and jealousy, wanting what others can give you.

bah. and i can't say that im like that. that i move in a cloud of zen-like self-acceptance but damn! there comes a point where you have to say that yes, other grass is greener. and yes, it would be nice to have greener grass. but that the grass you have is plenty green, and furthermore it's the grass you grew yourself, so go lie down in it and watch the clouds. or better yet pack a picnic and invite your friends. no one's ever going to make you happy except yourself. accept it and strive towards it.

who said it?: Love, then do what you will......
