Think Beyond Your Nose!

In the other world, i think i was, am or will be a philosopher major. Though journalism is in the same line huh (consoling myself here)
I love quotes. My favourite until recently has been "The future is bright to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" I don't know who exactly said it because you know even Kermit has been approved to be a philosophical toon  (If you dont know who kermit is i will sip my tea and let you be) Moving on, YES my new favourite quote:

T.E. Lawrence says “All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream in the dark recesses of the night awake in the day to find all was vanity. But the dreamers of day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams
with open eyes, and make it possible.

If you did not say Amen at the end of that quote, we cannot be friends. Hehe  i'm kidding ish.

My point is i read that quote and remembered a fall out i had with my friend about a potential investment. He said i dream too big or what was it "far beyond my nose"

This reminded me of how quick we are to settle for less than we deserve... All of us not just women. You meet someone you like but there is that one flaw that pisses you off or something of the sort but hold on because its no big a deal. You will get used to it. We all have that thing errrm what do they call it, oh yeah compromise.

Ah yeah. Compromise. I hate that term. But don't get me wrong there is good and bad compromise.

A "bad compromise" is changing your habits and self in such a way that you wind up becoming less of your full, authentic, thriving self. For example ladies you dressed in a certain manner but he says it feels like you are trying to get other men to look at you...which is not the case.

We are in a world where a random act of kindness is interpreted as a desperate attempt to cover something you did or confirming our fears and insecurities: we don't want to loose a person, which in my opinion is quite the contrary. It shows authority.

A "good compromise" is changing your habits and self in such a way that you grow more into your most full, authentic, best self. You used to drink everyday but cut down and clean up to be more presentable and/or use more of that time with your loved one.

So ladies and gentlemen, look at what you want to compromise on and evaluate if it is for your rib or for the person whose rib you come from. Be selfish a little and dare to dream.Feed your imagination to add
flavor to life. Truth be told we kill our own dreams most of the time by giving into our fears. Fear of loosing an investment,fear of neing alone, fear of not making it... And only one person can stop this. You.

Oh that opening quote is by Eleanor Roosevelt. Google works wonders.
