Method and Madness


I cannot make other people do what I want. 

I can decide what I will do.

In fact, I am responsible for both what I do and what I don’t do.  Both of these things are powerful tools when used correctly.

It is having the courage to decide what is right and what is not that is hard.  I can’t count on the world backing me up, or feeling good about everything.  All I can do is make an educated, intelligent decision and move forward.

Sometimes love makes hard decisions and sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t, but I can tell you one thing:  if something is not working you don’t keep doing it!

Everything takes time.  Adjusting to new rules, new routines, new apartments, can be difficult for me, so I set a time that I will live with it and then reevaluate it again. 

There will be times when something becomes obvious beyond a doubt and I have to change my mind early, but that has only happened once that I can think of. 

In the long run life is better not only when there is method, but also perseverance in the madness.
