Keep the promises you make to yourself

We make promises to others we wouldn't think of breaking: our spouses, friends, our business partners our coworkers. Yet, we have no problems breaking the promises we make to ourselves. "I won't waste time on useless sites", "I'll stop procrastinating", "I'll do better", "I won't lose my temper", "I won't drink anymore", the list goes on and on. We let ourselves break those promises, even the same ones over and over. How much longer will we let this go on? We wouldn't tolerate this behavior from others, yet we do it to ourselves.  "Self-esteem is just the reputation that you have with yourself. You'll always know." - Naval Ravikant. No one else may not know but you always will. How many more promises are you going to keep breaking to yourself? Is this how you would treat your family and friends? Maybe this is the reason why you have doubts. You've encountered your own example of the many t...

Beyond

It doesn't matter what they look like, how old they are, how big or small.
They all have broken hearts that needs mending.
Nothing physical on a person really matters.
Some of us have disabilities that everyone can see.
Those disabilities become the catalyst to hasten the bond, if it breaks, it was weak to begin with, if it becomes stronger, there was nothing that could have kept you two apart.  
It's discovering the kind of person they are and what you admire and learn from them. 
It’s discovering who you are through their eyes.
You have to overcome what you see and feel with your eyes to determine who they are. If their disability is that are very attractive, you have be able to overcome that lens and see deeper, if they are unattractive to your view, you have to uncover what they are beyond that. 
The truth lies in determining if they are worth the effort it takes to remove your filter.
We think that once i get to know them,  I will decide to love them

You won’t know them, unless you love them

It's Never Done

Life is never done or finished. It's a juggling, managing, in process, fixing, repairing, hurting, healing and all the in between. Things can get done. Then new things come and old things go. Life is so much more than things. Life isn't lived at the finish line. It's lived by putting one foot in front of the other, every single moment of every single day. Take another step. 

The Blind Girl

 I really love this painting by John Everett Millais. If you were to just look at this painting without the title, you would infer a different meaning. When you realize the name of the painting, "The Blind Girl" then you get a how other sense of what the artist was trying to represent. I love the fact that the title and the painting together draws you into the world of the painting. They style, colors and details are nothing special in of themselves, but when put together with the title of the painting it creates a whole story. It reminds me of "Christina's World" by Wyeth. I like how the painting and the title draws the viewer to experience the painting.  

Dirty Harry

I just watched the movie Dirty Harry for the frost time. Clint Eastwood is a legend. The movie was okay however all the unnecessary nudity made it better. Thinking about watching the next one in the series. Maybe.
