Music is food for the soul


Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

    Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at globebeat carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.

    Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at oasismeadow earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

    Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at globebeats reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

    Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at globebeats reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.

    Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at oasismeadow confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.

    Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at edenfairs kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader's time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

    During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at globebeat continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.

    Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at globebeats continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.

    Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at oasismeadow also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

    If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at edenfairs reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.
