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.

    Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at startdreamingbig reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.

    Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at staymotivateddaily did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.

    Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at ironrootcorner sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

    Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at staymotivateddaily confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

    Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at findbetterdeals pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.

    Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at staymotivateddaily kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

    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.

    Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at staymotivateddaily kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

    A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at findbetterdeals maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

    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.
