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.

    Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after findbetterdeals I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

    Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at ironrootcorner added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

    Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at startdreamingbig produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.

    Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at ironrootcorner reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.

    My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at ironrootcorner keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.

    Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at startdreamingbig only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

    Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at findbetterdeals confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

    Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at startdreamingbig kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
