Quote me on this

I condemned myself to a life of tragedy. At first, I thought I was just a failure, but I soon realized, the failures in my life were those around me. So how condemnation now? Well, see, my condemnation is in my failure to recognize that the people around me matter and don't matter just the same. I soon realized then later, that I was not in tragedy, but in a place I just never wanted to be. Getting attached to people who I did not need to be attached to. I let my life wander away to a place I never thought I could climb from. But then I climbed up, and I found my center. And to you, my rambling makes no sense, but to me this makes perfect sense. Sometimes I complain about the wind, sometimes I adjust the sails. But in my light, that shines, my way of being, I doubt the wind will change in my favor. I am so used to failure that I never expect the wind to change in my favor. I kind of just go without going. "I do what I do because I like to do." I love that quote, because it explains me so well. And my new one:

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

~William Arthur Ward
