I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my...
I always think that I love doing what I'm doing at the moment. The past is over. I can't go play one of those characters again. But I can play this and I can continue to grow in what I'm doing at the moment and that's really what I'm thinking about n...
Think about how many times in the past that you went through some challenges, struggles, and obstacles and still came out victorious? So why are you doubting your ability to triumph from your current trials and tribulations?
Don't permit your past to interfere with your present and future. There are endless possibilities that lie ahead. Go out there with a positive mental attitude and start creating opportunities for yourself instead of waiting for them to come to you.
It might seem like your whole world is falling apart, but I can honestly assure you that it is absolutely not. Think about how many times in the past that you thought that your world was falling apart but finally didn't?
I love listening to wise old people talk about their past experiences. They truly have so many valuable lessons to teach about life, and I never get tired of listening and learning from them.
The bottom line is this; when one person stops being a part of your life, another one will come, and fill that empty space. Leave the ones who left in the past, right where they belong, and never look back.
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.

I am grateful to God for all the good and bad that has given me, Without reproach the past, without waiting in the future I continue, just living in the moment makes me completely happy!
If only I could tell someone. The humiliation I go through when I think of my past can only be described as grace. We are created by being destroyed.
In the past I have defended the right of the IRA to engage in armed struggle. I did so because there was no alternative for those who would not bend the knee, or turn a blind eye to oppression, or for those who wanted a national republic.
I can't really tell how old I am, only that I'm too young to wonder if I asked the right questions in the past, and too old to wish the future will bring me all the answers.
Past age fifty-five, I experienced the advancement of exquisite fabric choices, paint distinctions that were celestial in scope, yet so many other man-made objects, such as people, became drab, redundant and boring.

4chan is a framework of pictures and text. I've always been extremely hands-off with dictating what gets posted, past general categories and rules. I support providing a place to discuss anything, although I don't agree with everything that's posted.
