Thoughts in meme form

[fuzzygoth]

Pick six qualities, find a quote about that quality you like or that you feels applies
to your life and then write a little about your thoughts/feelings/opinions on it.

... yes i am that bored and thinking too much for 1:05am



Self-Control
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is
yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality
of it. This is the day your life really begins.
~Bob Moawad

Something that escapes me so easily, yet takes me months and sometimes years
to reel back in. Sometimes all thats needed is a gentle slap from your a friend to
make you reilise thats its snuck off again when you wheren't looking.


Confidence
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
~Sally Field

Again, its easy to lose sight of. We can't judge ourselves through the perceptions
of others, we need to know ourselves and our own strengths and weaknesses.
Knowleadge of self can bring confidence, but often i find the no one is ever as
critical as we ourselves are of our own strengths, weaknesses and behaviours.


Jealousy
Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants
us all in the long run.
~George Bernard Shaw

heh, i like this one.


Honesty
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
~Mark Twain

Most people don't like the truth, because its not always a nice comftable arrangement
but its often worth the bruised egos, avoids confusion and of course means you don't
have to lie.


Friendship
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
~Sicilian Proverb

Yup, they will, they do ... and will possibly slag the shit out of you at the same time about
it ... but all in good humour of course.


Confrontation
Understanding is reached only after confrontation.
~Miss Ivannah - Mallrats

I always liked this, basically you can dance around things forever but where does that
actually get you. I had a year of confronting issues I had had, and then I had it easy for
a year or so, I wonder if i've grown complacent and its maybe not time to track down
some more stuff i need to sort out and stand toe to toe with it, after all for resolution to
occur you need to understand the cause that means looking it in the eyes (psychologically
speaking). Sometimes doing so can hurt and be frightening but without experincing and
understanding it can't be resolved.
