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.

    Useful info. Fortunate me I found your site by chance, and I
    am surprised why this accident did not happened earlier!
    I bookmarked it.

    Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at flarefests added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

    Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked flarefests I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

    If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at flarefests extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

    Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at flarefests extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.

    Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at flarefests carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

    Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at flarefests added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

    Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at flarefests continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

    Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at benningtonareaartscouncil continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.

    Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at benningtonareaartscouncil continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
