"Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions."

- Unknown

 

It is unfortunate how often this one applies.......

[Red_Baron]

Be the hero! (I'm sure its been said by notable references but just something I kind of thought up one day).

 

Thanks. I actually used that one today as I was working out. It helped.

 

Here's one I particularly like as well.

One I've been repeating a lot recently.  No idea where it came from:

 

If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.

[Rotengar]

I have a bunch of them but this one is the most recent. I first saw it at ZenPencils.com here: http://zenpencils.com/comic/122-charles-bukowski-roll-the-dice

 

Tho this one always does it for me; 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

That is my favorite line from the book. So disappointed it wasn't in the first episode.

I used to keep a copy of this with me at all times.

 

"If"-Rudyard Kipling

 

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

 

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

[Hrothgar]

Yes.

I don't think the first episode counts as spoilers anymore. Seriously, anything up to the Red Wedding is fair game.

[insanity]

Yes.

I feel the same, hence the smiley. :-)

 

Hearing about the Red Wedding is what got me into the show, though I'm still trying to get up to that point, school and all. Fiance done went off ahead of me and is waiting for the next season. Though, even knowing about the Red Wedding, it still shocked her... so now I REALLY want to get to that point.

A bit of off beat motivation!

 

[Fearkiller]

“If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another

and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world.

We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.â€

- Ellen DeGeneres

 

For some reason it gives two links to lifehack quotes as a result,

but thats something technical I have no clue about. But hey, you

get a face for the quote, that's good.
