Fairytales and Dragons
G.K. Chesterton wrote, “Fairy tales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know the dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
My Criminal Mind
Last night I was watching Criminal Minds. It is great-ish show. I have a somewhat odd interest in serial killers, sociopaths, psychopaths, and the un-rested. At times I have to mute it and look away, which thankfully confirms I am not a sociopath. ;]
I am interested in things that are a conundrum of the norm. Events, circumstances and people that make me question, that propel me to discover more through knowledge and my own truth that comes from wherever it comes from. I also like the nerd factoids and of course the quotes.
On to the point, this was a long intro to basically let people know that I am going to start posting some of the quotes from this show on a regular basis. Yes, I am that nerdy. B] I like quotes because they inspire me not only to be different, but get me interested and/or remind me of people, books, periods that help me evolve, to understand things, and to not feel so alone in this world. They move me. Anything that gets me to pick up a book is a good thing.
The quote from last night I am posting is by William Faulkner.
“Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.” – William Faulkner (The Paris Review interview (1956) with Jean Stein; later published in Writers at Work)
Anyway…hope you are into it. I am going to read, “The Sound and the Fury” because of this and because I am living in rural North Carolina, I know nothing about Jefferson, Mississippi and my cat’s name is Jefferson, so let’s do this.

Success
These are the 14 ways success can be achieved:
(1) LESS TALK, MORE ACTION. “Well done is better than well said.”
(2) DON’T PROCRASTINATE. “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
(3) BE PREPARED. “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
(4) DON’T FIGHT CHANGE. “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.”
(5) GET MOVING. “All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.”
(6) AVOID BUSYWORK. “Never confuse motion with action.”
(7) GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO MAKE MISTAKES. “Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.”
(8) ACT QUICKLY ON OPPORTUNITIES. “To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.”
(9) CONTINUE TO GROW. “Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better person.”
(10) KEEP GOING. “Diligence is the mother of good luck.”
(11) KNOW YOURSELF. “There are three things which are extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”
(12) DON’T SELF SABOTAGE. “Who had deceived thee so often as thyself?”
(13) DON’T GIVE UP. “Energy and persistence conquer all things.”
(14) WISE UP. “Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.”
Let’s do this!

Love
Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.
~Zora Neale Hurston
The Universe is On It!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

To Quote Me…
It is true, we do not choose our destiny, it chooses us, but I also think it is a person of strength who chooses to follow their destiny instead of taking the “simpler” route.

No Limits, Only Plateaus
Yes, I am becoming the Queen of Quotes. You’re welcome. ;] No, but really it’s true, why limit yourself? Why become stagnant doing one thing, in one place, when there is a whole world out there? Nothing in life is guaranteed…ever…so let’s go out there and have some fun. I want to live this life not survive it.
Safety last! Adventure first!
