Can extract sunshine from a cloudy day!

Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness. Carry a vision of heaven in your hearts, and you shall make your name,your college, the world, correspond to that vision. Your success and happiness lie within you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer wrappings. The great, enduring realities are love and service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty. ~ Helen Keller

"Treat Your Mind with Respect"


Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. 

Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. 

Your life is too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit
into your mind.  
If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. 


It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap.” ― EpictetusThe Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness

Mindless pap is what I'd call it, because what better way to phrase trifling distractions that otherwise shape - shift an otherwise productive mind? It's about time we ditch all the crap the dark side this world dishes out - constantly - and get focused on the unfolding of everything constructive.

 Let's rebuild hope. Let's rebuild common sense, because frankly, I miss my urban mind; That mind that pushes up daisies from a concrete slab, that mind that aspires and surges and lifts inspite of the world's degeneracy. 

Everyone is in perilous danger because sickness and violence has morphed into a bizarre form of entertainment. Bloody deterioration assaults our every day and the stigma notches by degree - per hour. Like  the "Mad Piper" of lore, a collective voice of evil lures us all into a pool brimming with contaminants of pessimism. 

Fight back by treating your mind with the respect it deserves. Take no heed for anything that could draw cynicism, including dispirited talk and the drivel of mindless activities. Be wary of witless company. Better to befriend your soul - the succor of Nirvana, than to parcel illumination away by entertaining habitual bunglers.


“Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you.” ~  Epictetus

Core goals for the week: vitality, energy and clarity sunrise after sunrise.
Core desired feelings: fierce, intense, potent, vivid, formidable and spirited.
What I will NOT do: Read or listen to the news. Nothing inspiring there. Slack off. Take no you cant have that or do that or be that for an answer.
What I will do: "CONQUER"
Archetype: Athena

Affirmation: You must find the place inside your self where nothing is impossible. - Les Brown
