The Inspirational One

Sleeping is underestimated. Most people have the pattern of a normal being whereas I have the pattern of an owl and right now, I am willing to make the sacrifice of no sleep. It's 04:43, I woke up at 20:30 as I usually do on any Monday and then spend the rest of the week regretting it. I really should change it.

"Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."

I am always useless at change. I like to be stable and knowing what I am doing, which is why I am not a fan of surprises or challenge either. It's easy to say to an employer, "I love a challenge" but what do you do when it comes down to it? Bottle it? Yep. Mitten is the ultimate bottler.

"Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds."

I know I haven't worked hard either. People say that I'm probably going to regret it and I know I will at some stage aswell, but if I could give one piece of advice to anyone, however useful or useless it will be, it is this. Find time to enjoy yourself. Before you become bogged down by "settling down". The worst thing that could happen to anyone. Settling. A life of boring monotony surrounded by people living the high life. It will come to me at one stage, as it will to most people, but I have tried to enjoy my life so far, despite the dark days. I'm not an extravagent, extroverted person, but I have enjoyed it.

"You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be."

Still people say, "I could of been much more", but what do they know? My Dad could of been so much more as could every person on the planet but they themselves can only decide that fate. Lots of people have more potential than they make out, and I am probably one of those, but the most important thing in life is happiness, not success. Success can make you happy, probably more chance of success making you happy than failure, but as long as you're happy, or even content, then what does it matter? Why should anyone else care?

"Yesterday is history. Tommorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift that's why they call it the present"

One of the philosophies I took when times were at their hardest. Take each day at a time and see where it takes you. Never get too far ahead of yourself, because you'll lose sight of what really matters, the day at hand.

"Don't take life too seriously, because you'll never get out alive."

And of course, whatever you do in your life, whether it be wrong or right, successful or failure or happy or sad, you'll always end up in the ground anyway. So live. And live well.
