RENT

In my vain effort to inspire others, I sometimes forget to inspire myself. Lately life has been a ball of stress. The result has been a dropped class, and encouragement from a professor of another class, which I was prepared to drop. A sign of hope, and encouragement is sometimes all we need in our lives to put things into perspective, at least for the now. We all need those people and moments to get our outlooks running again. A wise person once said: "Look at your life, become aware of the things that are causing your stress, and eliminate them!" My mom said that to me on more than one occasion, in not so many words. It's kinda funny that life is full of little credos like that. "eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth." "Try not. Do or Do Not, there is no try." "Go big or go home!" Well, you get the idea. For the most part these adages seem like nonsense, except when they make sense in your own personal life. That is the reason they exist; to make sense in our own personal lives from time to time. Living is all about being good to others and living your individual life to the best of your (about to use a word I loathe!) potential. Live long, live well, laugh much, love often, and be excellent to each other!
