Enlightening Thought #10

Ever since I read Enlightening Thought #9, I've experienced a drainage of inspiration, witty ideas, and flashes of brilliance. The cause? Juliana jinxed both of us writers, the readers, and everybody else who aims for perfection.

Yes, she jinxed it.

No, it's most definitely not my fault... because nothing's ever my fault! It's always somebody else's problem. Somebody else caused it; somebody else needs to fix it. I'll just laze around on the sidelines and then reap all of the benefits.

I can't write because failthoughts is jinxed. Or maybe it's fate! Or perhaps God's condemning us all for being the sinners we all are! Whatever happens, it's not my fault.



Is that your attitude towards life? That you're being victimized by society? That fate is screwing you over? That you always have terrible luck? That God's not hearing your pleas and prayers? If it is, you're screwing yourself over. It's not fate; it's you.

Instead of blaming others and pointing fingers, look in the mirror at your reflection, see your lack of initiative.

Then...

Take action.

Enlightening Thought #7

OK, I'll admit it; I'm a complainer. I complain about everything, from having too much homework to being bored and having nothing to do. From being fat to being hungry. From being lonely to being hated. Etc etc.



So if you're anything like me, here's some advice that I, too, need to follow: Nobody likes complainers. And if you're so damned passionate and vocal about how much your life sucks, then get off your fat ass go do something!

If you have too much homework, shut up and start plowing away at it. If you have nothing to do, go help out around the house. If you're fat, then go jog! If you're hungry, use your common sense and eat something.

I will reiterate. If you feel lonely and/or hated, now you know why. You complain. Either suck it up and deal with it or, even better,

Shut the fuck up and change yourself.
