Some things I was thinking
We spend half of our lives trying to define ourselves, and the other half trying to live up to what we defined ourselves as, when in the end we could have had a full life just living. I am not saying do not examine your life, but definitions can set boundaries and limit us from achieving our full potential, and to reach something never before obtained, we have to do extraordinary things. I believe in a moral code, and that the content of our character is an impetus of how we approach life. I do not believe we are solely defined by what we do, but how we choose to do it. I am just saying Carpe that Diem sometimes, and if you make a mistake, make it the best mistake you have ever made. In the end you are your biggest inhibitor, as well as your biggest motivator.

mmm hmmm. I hear you, loud and clear. Thanks lady, good insight.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
