One night i found myself needing rollie papers, i had a pouch but was without a paper, so me and a friend stopped into the local 711, as i went to buy the papers the man behind the counter asked me for id, now i did not have it on me so i pleaded with him just to let me buy them, an in doing so i pulled out my pouch and said "see man im old enough to buy a smokes" he gave in and started to grab the papers and while doing that he said "you should quit you know" i said "yeah man i am, today i only had 5 smokes and the past 3 day prior i had cut down to one its just today i slipped up" and basically his response back to me was, you either quit or you dont, you can't be in between. And in hearing someone say that to me really staight out, it changed my thinking, and now i have been 4 weeks without one, pretty good if you ask me, if i can, you can

The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time 
"Thomas A Edison"

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.

It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop

You have to learn the rules to this game of life and then play better than anybody else.

A old man was planting a young tree in his yard, his neighbor hailed him & said what are you planting that for you'll never live to see it grown & the old man calmly went on planting & said i believe you have the plan on dying tomorrow or living forever, well I'm not planning on dying tomorrow

"Andrew Carnegie"

for as you sow, so you shall reap

For yesterday is a dream & tomorrow is a vision. What's interesting is that a vision you can control and also you can control the way you look at your dreams in a good or bad way

If you've failed again & again the only thing left to do is try again.

The wisest recognize that they actually know very little. No matter how much we know when compared with the magnificent universe we live in, our knowledge is only a pebble in the eternal stream of consciousness.
"Dr John F Demartini"

Sometimes you give your services for nothing.
"Hippocrates"

Once you have been confronted with a life or death situation, Trivia no longer matters. Your perception grows and you live at a deeper level. There is no time for pettiness.

"Spanish Proverb"

We get what we would love to have in life by helping others get what they would love to have

Money can not buy happiness, but neither can poverty
"Unknown"

You came here with something to do. You are part of a universal consciousness, and there are no accidents in it. In your true essence—not the false self, not the ego part of you, but in the true essence of who you are—you are infinite and you have something very profound to accomplish while you’re here. Otherwise you wouldn’t be here.

Find it. Pay attention to it. Listen to the callings. See the clues, the cues. See the alignments, whatever they might be, no matter how absurd or bizarre they might seem to everyone around you. Ignore their concerns. In the movie, the music inside for one character, for example, is art—a woman had always wanted to draw but was so obsessed with just fulfilling her duties, as a mother and so on, that she never had time for it.

Fulfilling your duties as a mother is one thing, but if you have a calling inside that says there’s also something else, don’t ignore that. Don’t die with your music still in you. Don’t die with your purpose unfulfilled. Don’t die feeling as if your life has been wrong. Don’t let that happen to you. That’s the bigger message.
"Dr Wayne Dyer"

The weakling who has refused the conflict, acquiring nothing, has had nothing to renounce. He alone who has striven and won can enrich the world by bestowing the fruits of his victorious experience.
"Jagadis Chandra Bose"

Past, Present, Future

Don't get stuck in the past, where you linger on and on in familiarity, And replay old memories over and over again.

Don't overindulge in the future, where you daydream about leading a grand life endlessly, And imagine the sweetest days you could ever live.

Don't neglect your present, Where true life begins to unfold and pass you by silently, And you wonder about missed opportunities and lost moments.

For lessons, quietly contemplate about your past, And you might realize life has cleverly placed you in situations, That demanded you to raise up to the challenge and to grow.

To reduce your anxiety and panic attacks, make plans for your future, and you might see that your dreams and goals are acting like guiding lights, Shinning the path for you to follow through and learning to overcome your fears.

To avoid a state of merely existing, be aware of your present, And you might notice that you are part of a grander scheme, Where your past is long gone and the future has yet to come, And that your present is the most precious moment you could ever feel.

Your past and your future both lie in your present, Where your present wields the power to influence and change, The way you think about your past either with gratitude or with regret, And shape your future to either a success or a failure.

Live totally in the present, Enjoying each and every moment, Where it is all happening, Where it truly matters

You are what you read

I am never a quitter and will persevere until i achieve what i am, and that i desire.

-Plato-

Through the brain i have the ability to take something in, then use the vocal system to pass it along a million times and still have it for my self. Now can any amount of currency do that.
"Michael Russell"

I believe you were given two ears and one mouth for the purpose of doing twice as much listening as we do talking. If you are quiet you give your self the chance to learn something new and something new learnt is something new you can teach, when you pass along good you help, when you help, you allow yourself to be helped ten times as much in return.

The good times come to make you think things are good ,the bad times are there to challenge you to see if your good enough to rise to the plate, but if you didn't have a bad time there would be no way to measure against the good time and compare a good time from a bad , so that means we need the bad just as much as we want the good, embrace both but don't give up 
"Michael russell"

If you don't know where your going, you'll end up anywhere

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN

sometimes you just need to jump the cliff to see what the trip is like you could land on the rocks or you can come to the safety of the water

If you decide to end it and leave earth who here will make your special impact on this world , no one that's who so just give it a proper go and life will give you a proper go 
"Michael Russell"

Courage is going from failure to failure without loosing your enthusiasm
"Winston Churchill"

Birds of a feather flock together

You gotta be hungry. You can't just continually say I'll get it done later

A young boy faced a nasty dog everyday walking home from school, the dog would chase him and he would run for his life. Until one day he decided he would pick up a brick and smash it. The next day he was walking home and was confronted by the dog , seeing a bríck near by he grabbed it with all his mite. As he went to hit the dog he realized it had no teeth. The boy laughed and walked away.
See most of us go through life with the fear of getting bitten by what seams savage but actually might have trouble getting fleas of itself

Success is measured by 3 things.1 the need for what you do. 2 your ability to do it. 3 and the degree of difficulty there is in replacing you
