This is not an ideal world, but that doesn't mean it has to ruin your whole week every time something bad happens...
I was going to rant but I'd rather just explain myself as a series of points I'd like to call realities...
1.) "If now is not what you expected look toward tomorrow." Don't! If you are so concerned with making tomorrow better how can today be different? Do not convince yourself that tomorrow will be better, make now better! Make or find something that is worth today.
2.) Live out loud... Nobody will follow your dreams for you.
3.) Don't hinge your dreams on others. Nobody is under obligation to help you...
4.) If you see a mistake has been made, by you or by anyone else, do not get mad. How can regret about the past lead to change in the future? This is a fallacy, only when we put down our disappointments can we pick up our chances.
5.) Expect the best, plan for the worst, so you can never get caught out. Things will go awry from time to time.
6.) Life is not a movie. So don't be surprised if nobody comes to your aid.
7.) You will make mistakes, fall short of your goals and dreams, and hurt the ones you love. This is nothing unusual, you are human. So long as you remember this you are able to say sorry.
8.) It is quite possible to get where you want to go by doing the wrong thing. The question is, are you willing to live with the consequences?
9.) True power is invisible, it is not an aggressive stare or harsh words. Those who have it are all but invisible, they could kill you without sparing any effort and you wouldn't know it until it's too late. This power is not considered real by the masses, because it does not invoke fear or awe. It is not meant to, it a current that drives action, it is the electricity of the soul nothing more.
10.) Injustices will be done and gods will allow it, because to the minds of believers they are not injustices, they are the will of deities. Beware of the person who does not "just hang" out with their deity, the do not want their own life.
11.) Destiny is made by you, unless you know that, your destiny is to serve pizzas forever.
12.) Anger directed outwards is violence, anger directed inwards is violence, Anger unexpressed and unexperienced is deadly, allow yourself to feel.
13.) always leave yourself time to fall apart at the start of the day. If you can do that, then there is enough time to do everything else.
14.) Symbols are everywhere it's just a question of what you're looking for and what you want to see.
15.) there is only one person to save and only one person who can save. You.
16.) Like symbols, everything is sacred, it's just a question of what sacred.
17.) There need not be 4, 8, 10, 12, 15, 23, or 33 of these statements.
18.) If you are afraid of a world without rules you will never be free. If you fear that your unchained self will run amok, you will never be free.
If you believe that all your darkness would come falling out if you let go, you will never be free. Without rules there is authenticity, this is what you fear, that you have not lived the life you wanted to and that you have walked too far in the wrong direction, but the longer you wait the harder it is to turn around.
19.) Freedom is not always easy, it can inspire jealousy in others. Don't be surprised.
20.) It's Ok to fight. But be sure that you can live with the reasons you chose to fight for.
21.) Combat is not the field of honor, combat is fought to win, if you fight for honor you will lose. Honor is internal, combat is a place where anything goes, combat is had for survival, not for fun.
22.) Weird is OK because everyone is weird.
23.) You are who you want to be.
24.) Never give up on what you truly believe in.
25.) Forces of nature are born every minute, most allow themselves to be shackled and gladly defend their prison.
26.) You will contradict yourself, but contradiction is just another paradox, not a wrong answer. contradiction is a flag that says: "Examine this more closely."
27.) Paradox is everywhere.
28.) Experience is not universal, the way you perceive this world and everything beyond it is peculiar to you.
