Lights, Camera, Action, And As Many Takes As You Need To Get It Right
Words. We don't always know which ones to use. Nor do we know at which time to use them. In the modern world, words are as important as breathing. They set the tone for most of our lives, culture, successes, and failures. Wouldn't it be nice if we somehow knew which ones to use and when to use them?

7 Words from Mark Twain That Inspired Me to Become A Full-Time Writer
“Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.” These are the 7 words that changed my life. Why? For as long as I can remember, I dreamed about becoming a full-time writer. I dreamed about sitting in my house by a lake with notebooks full of unwritten stories. I dreamed about coffee rings staining my desk revealing the late nights I’d stayed up writing. And I dreamed about having a library full of my favourite books that each infused me with the knowledge that the journey was worth the wait.

What Does Freedom Mean to me?
What Does Freedom Mean to me? Let me rephrase that opener. What does air mean to me? What does food mean to me? What does happiness mean to me? They all have the same answer. It means everything to me. you might as well ask me what would I do for to leave without freedom is to wait on death to happen upon you and hope he is kinder than bondage. I cannot explain in exact terms what means to me is but I know I could never give it for all the money in the world. You know why that is because I have been trapped. I have been helpless, I have been crazy with a desperation that made me bite my nails until I tasted blood. You ask what freedom is. It is the ability to know who you are and know with all heavenly conviction that you are not owned by anyone. Your word is our word and your truth is never crafted. It is the simple ability to be for being sake and for nothing else.

Keep On Keeping On
"Keep calm and carry on" is ubiquitous with surviving tough times. But for those of us born well after the second world war, we mainly know the expression for its lighter side, mostly from memes—like this one, which is free to download from Destination Craft.

The Power of Affirmations
The Power of Speaking Affirmations Really think about it. Why would we ever put limits on ourselves or insult the body we live in? It's because we internalized the voices of others as our won. Anyone we perceived as important, we easily accept their words as true. This is because as a child, our survival depended on this. Failure to live up to what those important people said could result in abandonment and failure to survive. Validation =survival. This thinking doesn't serve us as we get older. This is why when we don't get validation from those we deem "important" in our adult life it literally feels like death. Which leads me to to know that affirmations, when done consciously are reminders of who we truly are and who we authentically come here to be. Affirmations help you undo the lies you accepted as true when you affirm from this perspective, you will feel how quickly you shift your subconscious state of being at a rapid pace.

Be Unshakable
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is To be alive to breathe to think to enjoy, to love. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. Look well into thyself there is a source of strength which will always spring up as our world always Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but I reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess and then thankfully remember I would crave them if they were not yours The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Here is a rule to remember: in future when anything tempts you to feel bitter not this is misfortune, but to bear this worthily is good fortune. Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny for what could more aptly fit your needs To live a good life, we all have the potential for it if we learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference Think of yourself as dead, you have lived your life now take what's left and live it properly death smiles at us all, but all a man can do is smile back the best revenge is not to be like your enemy your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought of the human spirit is colored by such impressions The impediment to action advances action what stands in the way becomes the way You have power of your mind not outside events, realize this, and you will find strength It is not death that a man should fear but he should fear never beginning to live very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself in your way of thinking loss is nothing else but change and change is nature's delight no man's true delight is to do the things he was made for true happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependence upon the future not to amuse ourselves we either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient for he that is so wants nothing Begin at once to live, count each separate day as a separate life It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare it is because we do not dare that things are difficult We all sorely complain of the shortness of time and yet have much more than we know what to do with our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all or in doing nothing to the purpose or in doing nothing that we ought to do, we are always complaining that our days are few and acting as though there would be no end of them A gem cannot be polished without friction nor a man defected without trials The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity Every night before going to sleep, we must ask ourselves what weakness did I overcome today what virtue did I acquire Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one at whatever point you leave life if you leave it in the right way it is home We suffer more often in imagination than in reality, you want to live but do you know how to live you are scared of dying, but tell me is the kind of life you lead really any different to being dead The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach a wise man is contented with his lot whatever it may be Man is affected not by events, but by the view he takes of Them As is a tail so his life not how long it is but how good it is what matters Sometimes even to live is an act of courage If you really want to escape the things that Haress you what you're needing is not to be in a different place, but to be a different person Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are we've been using them, not because we needed them, but because we had them He suffers more than necessary, who suffers before it is necessary hang on, do your youthful enthusiasms you'll be able to use them better when you are older It is not the man who has too little but the man who craves more that is poor If a man knows not to which court he sails no wind is favorable luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity from this instant on vowed to stop disappointing yourself separate yourself from the mob decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do now if you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid No great thing is created suddenly any more than a bunch of grapes or a fade if you tell me that you desire a fig, I will answer that there must be time, let it first blossom then bear fruit then ripen when you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings then you will forget your anger the trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths, remain steadfast and one day you will build something that endures something worthy of your potential the world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going attach yourself to what is spiritually superior regardless of what other people think or do hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you You may fare to my leg but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will On the occasion of every accident that befalls you remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures but the foolish to be a slave to them the key is to keep company only with people who uplift you whose presence calls false your best be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind no man is free who is not a master of himself if anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, he was ignorant of my other faults else he would not have mentioned these alone it is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows do not seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen and all will be well with you

Time and Tide wait for None
The king turned to the courtyard and said that time and waves were waiting for him and that one day he would die with him. Time and travel do not wait for anyone - a well-known proverb, which means we should not waste time, because it does not stay with anyone under any circumstances. When we lose time, we can only regret the lost time, but we can come back.
