Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others.
The only difference between me and others is that they think they can change something with cute little poems nice cards or embracing trees and being nice to little lapdogs.
When you blame others you give up your power to change.
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may by change of circumstances become his own.
We are taught you must blame your father your sisters your brothers the school the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
If you accept the expectations of others especially negative ones then you never will change the outcome.
One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others.
Since my induction into the Sports Hall of Fame I have wanted to have my No. 3 Chevy on exhibit for sports fans to see. I hope others will enjoy the car as much as I have.
My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it which broke my heart!
It bothers me when I hear it in a car commercial or some such. But for the most part it's better than seeing sacred music relegated to the scrap heap.
