Forward, Onward, and Upward

Quote of the day:
Actions lie louder than words.
-Carolyn Wells



You see in life one needs to keep evolving.
As it is i'd like to know that you've changed in some aspect of your life, that you've evolved and not remained static, i mean think about it. If months turn to years perhaps and you haven't really evolved much, you haven't advanced past where i left you the last time-what would i make of it...you ask? A day is enough to evolve, okay scratch that-a month, a year, a decade..it all doesn't matter you see,as long as you EVOLVE.

That's like the greatest gift in life...that ability to evolve and attain a much higher persepective, embrace things you'd never attempted-dont ever think you have arrived,always keep evolving!

And for that reason, if you feel that you've done all that you can-and that you can't go any further in achieving anything-then you are wrong.

..If you were sad yesterday,why replay that same scene today....why not evolve, and propel that sadness into joy today?
..So what if you failed before. Same way you failed is the same way you can succeed.
...doing just one thing is not enough -push yourself to do the limit...

You see
If you can have just one dream-then you can have many dreams.
If you can experience failure-then you can as well experiment with success.
If you can be nobody- then you can be somebody.
If you can know one thing -then you can know everything.

    i totally agree with you. that is why so like the word 'aspire' because it gives us the inspiration to constantly look up, strive, and like u said, evolve and not at any point think that we have arrived.
    Thought-provoking post.

    OOOOOO I LOVE THat Dido song!!!! actually she is one of my go to's


    Evolution is necessary, but most of us say we go thru it yet we find ourselves stuck. sad but true , but i feel like some people actually de-evolve, like some sort of reversal of order and downgrade themslves, they downgrade their dreams, they downgrade their perspective .or even worse they settle..tht is called giving up, might as well just die innit?. u can never overcome an obstacle standing in the same position u were in when u came at it, u can either go forward or backwards or even side ways in some cases...the goal should always to keep it moving as you have said foward onward and upward.....


    B!! CC has really really missed you, being soooo bz but i am coming back to ya small small k. hop u gud dear. keep up the awesomeness, rock on!!!!

    @aloted,i'm happy you found that interesting,many thanks.

    @CC, had better be coming back,even if it's small small..yea. Or else :)

    I find your whole 'de-evolve' thing pretty amusing,in that -if you can evolve,you can also de-evolve right?
    Nice!

    Bottom line is not to be at the same spot..

    Good to have you back,and hey missed you more:)

    Take care!
