Jordan's+Journal

The whole things an illusion, overcompensations for misery isn't nearly so spectacular as actual happiness. We live no longer in the dusky afternoon when evil mixed itself with good and befuddled the world. Milliseconds influence centuries. Everything happens for a reason. Every action has a reaction. We create our fate every day we live like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will. It's the struggle that gives it it's beauty. I too am not a bit tamed, am untranslatable.



Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. Is uniformity of opinion desirable? It comes with a price. Without inspiration the mind remains dormant. Believe your own thought to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius I don't want no help, I'm doing all right by myself. The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Am I supposed to be happy? We can't spend our lives waiting to live. You must live too. So live, that when thy summons comes to join death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. The past is behind, learn from it.  The present is here, live it. Dancing along the border between turbulence and order. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away. Life is long and love is deep. Time will be sweet. Live with intention. Do what you love. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Live as if this is all there is.
