Persistence

I really liked this one:

"Perseverance is very important to success. How else would two snails have made it to the ark?"
- Zig Ziglar

Lyrics

Song lyrics are not what they used to be.

After reading recent rock lyrics or play Karaoke Revolution, most today are either really dark & depressing ... or just really stupid! (Guess if you're not really listening, it doesn't matter, huh?)

Well, obviously as Spunk on a Stick, I'm not into the dark ones. I prefer a little hope! (Or at least an intelligent question!)

"Hold on to your dreams, and don't let go ... " - Shooting Star

"All the odds are against you, But somehow yo make it through, You can rationalize it away, But it all comes down to you." - Triumph

"Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy) down the road that I must travel, Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night, Kyrie eleison where I've going will you follow." - Mr. Mister

"All I want is the same as everyone, Why am I here, and for how long?" - Queesnryche

"You made me feel like a superman, I could take on the whole world with just one hand." - Steelheart

Hitting the Jackpot

Some days, it feels like I've hit the jackpot.

And yet, that's a poor way to describe it. Because I've spent so much time & energy preparing for that moment. Some people look at other's fortune as a lucky break, but there's no such thing. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into getting to that point. And I am no different.

Success is when opportunity meets preparedness!

And I am so prepared!!!!!!!!

Staying in Love

Was reading John Powell's "The Secret of Staying in Love" today. Thought there was some real truth in some of the statements, so I'm passing them along.

That which heals and promotes human change and growth is a one-on-one relationship of love.

Love is not a feeling.

Sharing my feelings will provide you with the opportunity to know me in a new way, to know yourself in a new way, and be changed.

Love is a decision-commitment.

Love works for those who work at it.
