.wednesday wisdom.

“dear diary, sorry i haven’t written for so long!”

…said every journal entry ever.

i feel like this blog is beginning to share the same sentiment,

so, yes… i apologize to any of the 5 followers

i may or may not be accountable to out there.

as for an update, here’s a little wednesday wisdom

i stumbled upon this morning.

…

“I suppose no one is as handsome or as beautiful as he or she wishes, or as brilliant in school or as witty in speech or as wealthy as we would like, but in a world of varied talents and fortunes that we can’t always command, I think that makes even more attractive the qualities we can command—such qualities as thoughtfulness, patience, a kind word, and true delight in the accomplishment of another. These cost us nothing, and they can mean everything to the one who receives them.”

…

blessed be the words of elder holland.

which you probably should just saying,

with thoughtfulness,

patience,

a kind word,

and a true delight in the accomplishment of another…

it’s priceless to make someone else feel like a million bucks.

i love that.

.never surrender.

you never know what gems you’ll find cleaning a wise lady’s humble abode.

Tonight while out running, I realized that there is a big difference between surviving and actually living. You can survive on Mac & Cheese, little to no exercise, and little to no work, but you have not actually lived. At the same time, you may possess very little, have a small income, but be a very hard worker, and carer for your temple. If you are this kind of a person, you have lived (you can also be a wealthy person but only be a survivor). Whatever the case, let's say you work at the ice cream parlor. You may get up everyday and not feel like going to work. You hate scooping ice cream for a living and you wish you had another job, and you don't think you have many other options. I've been there... When you get up every day you can pretty much not count on feeling like going to school, or working, or exercising but you had better do it. Never surrender to that voice that says it’s going to be boring, it's not worth it. NEVER SURRENDER. I think we all know whose voice that is. 

.wednesday wisdom.

more patience requires more understanding of others.
