Personal sayings or words you live by...

Often situations confront you that can easily turn into a big mess, and you can throw so much thought and angst into it.. But usually there is a very simple way of looking at things that will take so much of the crap out of the situation..

1. So often I hear people get tied up in gigantic knots about how the government/parliament/presidential/Politician type decision makers are constantly doing things to make their life hard... Making decisions that make it impossible for them to ever make money etc... And I admit that I have been guilty of this.. I used to be quite passionate about blaming the government for many things, and occasionally still do get pissed off at some of the disgusting and horrible decisions politicians make..
But this is my saying for this one that puts it into perspective...

"The choices that YOU make yourself, have a million times more impact on your life than any decision a politician could ever make"

And it's true.. I can agree that some decisions they make can definetly make life harder for people, and certainly not help them.. But YOU will always have a thousand times more power over your life than they do.. One person can make an entire success of themselves, and another a complete failure, while both being subject to the exact same political circumstances and decisions... I've realised blaming the government takes so much power out of your own hands that it's just ridiculous..

2. My other favourite is pretty simple... It just relates to when something crap has happened at work or whatever and you're thinking about it at home..
"You can spend 2 minutes worrying about something, or 2 hours.. But if you're not changing the problem, then it is just a total waste.. And you DO have the choice how long you spend worrying about something. "
I see this so often with my girlfriend.. Someone does something to her unfair at work, and she'll spend hours and hours and hours literally playing the whole situation over and over. Working out how someone could do such a thing etc. And yes, they were unfair and sometimes just downright cunty and disgusting... Even I agree with that.. But all the worrying in the world doesn't change what happened... All it means is she's spent the whole entire night pissed off about something... It's a huge waste...

Having the choice of what to think about is probably the biggest power we have as an individual person... And it's easy and almost addictive to jump on the treadmill of thinking about stuff that pisses us off and makes us mad, and is hard to get off once you start.. But it's one of the biggest and worst ways to waste your life and energy....

Get busy living,or get busy dying
You got a pair,or is the jockstrap for decoration?
Stick it sideways and twist
My mamma hits harder then that,hell so does my grandma and she's dead
I like pie
I'll sleep when Im dead
Suck me,and do a good job, some rhythm and no teeth

Im not known for my subtlety

I tend to use the term "K-logic" quite frequently during the course of most days.

"K" stands for Korea and the word logic is used because there is an abundant lack of it. Its hard to explain the concept of "K-logic". The best way is just to give some examples. In the summer Koreans crank up the air conditioner and then open all the windows because of "bad air". Many Koreans believe that if you sleep with the fan on you will die because apparently the air is sucked out of the room. There are countless other examples but I would bore you silly with them and the absurdity would probably be too much to handle.

"K logic" is something I mutter everyday usually followed by an expletive or two. ;D

The wicked shall die by there own wickedness.

If you expect the worst you will never be dissapointed.

You can tell yourself that you can achieve something or you can tell yourself you can't, either way you will be right.

I don't really have one, but I hate the ones where people will just switch two words and pretend that means something. Things like, "If you fail to plan then you plan to fail." WTF??? I call these people "Asshole Confucius."

I liken my life to stories sometimes like this one from Real Ultimate Power .net

The King's Gold/Babes

Scene 1:
In the olden days, there was this sweet king that had mounds of gold and babes. These pirates decided to steal the mounds and surrounded the castle and everybody freaked, except the king who was like “Chill homies, I’ll handle this crap.”

The pirates stood outside the castle walls and were like “You think you are so cool, but guess what, you’re not. Good luck dying!” Then the king replied “Yeah right. How would you like to meet my best friends?”

Then out of nowhere there was a small sound of a guitar wailing really really hard behind the hills. The wailing started getting louder and louder and louder. Then out of nowhere there was this one sweet ass ninja standing on top of a huge hill. Everybody was like “Woooooooooooow!” He was wearing all black and he had this jet red guitar in his hands. Then smoke smoked over the hills like trains. But the smoke was ninjas. And the pirates saw about a billion ninjas with guitars standing on top this his huge hill. And they started to wail…

When the ninjas wailed on their guitars, the pirates started spraying diarrhea on each other and loved it. And when they wailed harder, the pirates sprayed harder. As the ninjas sauntered down the hill, the pirates’ chests and butts exploded. (They died from this.) Then the ninjas finally reached the boss pirate who was really huge. Out of nowhere the boss pirate pulled out this baby banjo and tried to fiddle with it like a little baby-baby. The ninjas were like “Yeah right.” and all the billions of ninjas surrounded the boss pirate. Half of the ninjas all combined to form the biggest guitar in the universe. The other half formed the second biggest boner in the universe. Then the huge guitar pointed right at the pirate, who was like “Holy CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!” Before the pirate could even do anything, the super boner slapped against the guitar making the hugest wail ever to happen anywhere ever. The pirate exploded so hard that every single one of his kids he would have had exploded and all of his grandparents exploded along with his neighbors and people who he merely said “hello” to.

Then there was this huge concert at the castle. All the babes in the castle morphed into this humongous female crotch. The huge boner and crotch porked softly, while slamming into the guitar and wailing. And guess what, the king sat on top of this huge pile of gold and babes and laughed his frigg’n ass off about how stupid the pirates were.

END

-this script is so hot it could make Janet Reno open up a paint can with her ding dong.

This is from that book of ninjas. One of the funniest things I've ever read in a book. It reads like a 9 year old wrote it. I loved it.

What Would Jesus Do :jesus:

Here are a few of my favourites

"There are no ordinary moments"

"Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation…is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew"

"The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination"

"Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs"

"Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all"

"what might seem like an unmitigated disaster might turn out to be a blessing."

"always do right and you'll never go wrong."

Unfortunately if you can't count on yourself, your f*d. :) As is the case with most everyone.

I like lot's of sayings.
Speak softly but carry a big stick...
Luck is when preparation & oppourtunity meet...


I'm more into certain short prayers.
Here's one I reside every morning when I wake up.

Holy Jesus, be my Light,
Shine upon my way;
Through this tempting, changing life
Lead me day by day.
Amen.

Really reflects in 4 short sentences what one live through daily.
We need light as sometimes the path get's dark and hard to see.
With so many temptations around us we're constantly making choices.
Within seconds our lifes can dramatically change and they do change by the minute.
