You are not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations,
Nor should you feel the world must live up to yours

Opportunity is missed by most people
Because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

There is only one page left to write on.
I will fill it with words of only one syllable.
I love.
I have loved.
I will love.

A drill doesn’t stop. No matter how hard the obstacle in it’s way. It keeps turning and pushes forward. That is the nature of the drill. That is the way it’s made. If you’re going to dig, dig to the heavens because life isn’t worth living half-assed. Just who the hell do you think you are anyway?
You’re you.
You aren’t anybody but yourself, and that’s exactly who the world needs you to be.
There isn’t anything you can’t beat.
You are a fucking drill.

I don’t even know what I was running for
I guess I just felt like it.

“In bullfighting there is a term called querencia.
The querencia is the spot in the ring to which the bull returns. Each bull has a different querencia, but as the bullfight continues, and the animal becomes more threatened, it returns more and more often to his spot.
As he returns to his querencia, he becomes more predictable.
And so, in the end, the matador is able to kill the bull because instead of trying something new, the bull returns to what is familiar…
HIS COMFORT ZONE
