To Do What Is Right

"I want to do what is right. It is what I would want someone to do for me. You know? This whole thing is based on the Golden Rule. There is nothing better than that. That’s why it doesn’t matter what you do, just how you do it. And it doesn’t matter where you go, just how you get there. In the end, what do we really leave people with? We leave them with moments. We leave them with feelings and times. This is music for us to use to create those times. It’s as big and exciting and pleasurable as w… Continue

Above All...

"ONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. OUT LAST. WORK HARDER, AND EVEN HARDER. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE WITH THIS DAY? YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE. DON'T BE A WIMP. BE STRONG. HAVE COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING. LIFE IS SHORT. DON'T WASTE TIME. NO ONE CAN BRING YOU DOWN EXCEPT YOU. BE INVINCIBLE AND LIFT WEIGHTS. SEE THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE. GIVE AND DON'T RECIEVE. DON'T TAKE WHAT YOU DON'T NEED. NO EXPECTATIONS BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN DO. EXPECT NOTHING IN RETURN. REMEMBER WHAT OTHERS DON'T HAVE. BE THANKFUL. WHA… Continue

NOW IS THE TIME

"NOW IS THE TIME! We've got to not live in total fear. It's hard right now, but it's just as important as ever! NOW IS THE TIME to make an inventory of everything you love and do it with all your heart! NOW IS THE TIME to really put forth the last ditch efforts and hard work to get it in while you can! NOW IS THE TIME to step forward and not stand back! NOW IS THE TIME to be less of a jerk and more of a friend! NOW IS THE TIME to put other people and other things in front of you! NOW IS THE

In The Past, That Didn't Work

"If you can do something good today, and it makes you and others happy, don't wonder if you can still do it tomorrow, because tomorrow may never come. Don't save up things for later, because later might be too late. There are always a million reasons not to do something. There's always "what if this happens?", or "in the past, that didn't work", or "you won't be able to do that forever". Nothing is forever. Life isn't forever. You only need one reason to do something."

This Has Never Happened Before

"... work everyday to feel O.K. To truly feel O.K. is to accept everything as such and that you have a place inside of it all. And that place is a miracle, not something small. We can do so much, so easily, so fast. We have so much power, and so much ability. This is so simple and so clear. The future holds everything. In my life I want to feel as good as possible and help as many people as I can to feel the same. I want to do everything and I want to help as many people do everything too.

Today Matters

"Why are you pretending that today doesn't matter? Do not ignore it! IT MATTERS! What are we trying to prove? These are the actual DAYS OF OUR LIVES! YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE TODAY! Everything you are doing, saying, and thinking! This is not a temporary time that we can mess around with! This is the whole thing! What are you going to do with it? What are you going to do in this crucial moment? This is serious! This is no exaggeration! It sounds dramatic and extreme? THIS IS EXTREME!!! This is TH… Continue

The Whole

"So bring it all on! In one giant overwhelming chunk!!! We are going to be able to do stuff that we never thought we could do before! Life is too short! So much of the time we're thinking about what we've done, and what we're going to do, but we need to think about what we ARE doing! Right now! And how do we feel about it? And do we want it to be something else - something better? And what is better? And what is the whole point anyway? And where do we begin? And why should we start now anyway? B… Continue

We Are Doing Okay

"Everything exists! We can make efforts to appreciate what is out there! We don't need to fight it anymore! We are doing O.K.! The answer is not in the problems! The answer is in the solutions! And the solution is not to hide away, or ignore, or abolish! The answer lies in loving it! Take a risk! Take a leap of faith off the cliff of holding back! Life is a huge adventure! Strap yourself onto it and ride it for all that its worth! Every little piece and part and thing! You only get to do it once… Continue

That's When You Go

"When everything else is telling you NO but your blood and your heart are telling you YES - that's when you go. When you KNOW so clearly that it's not even a question. Fear doesn't enter into your mind, you have not only the will and the desire, but the true power to at least try to do anything that comes your way. If you always believe that you're heading to where you're going, than nothing can stop you, because every action will be pushing you to that destination, even if it means going throug… Continue

The Things You Want

"Would you give up all you've got to get the things you want? And would you give up all you want to keep the things you've got? It's all pointing towards your desire! And even more than that, it's about your effort! Trying and trying and attempting and giving it your life the whole way through. When I decided I had to move there I just did - but I did work up to it and get ready for it over a few years time. If I had just decided out of nowhere, then I might not have been able to pull it of

Love Is Love

"The way it works is clear: love is love - and love will remain love despite loss and hardship - love will remain love when a person is born - love remains love at the moment of death and until the end of time - love remains love even in the lowest moment and the highest euphoria - love remains love through and through - regardless"
- Andrew W.K.
