well, inspiration is something that comes from the very bottom of ur own mind, quotes and mantras hardly seem to help in real dark times. But yeah there r some magic words that touch u and make u
feel the thing.
There's a simple quote that i always use while trying to light someone up:
"The rosebush isnt full of thorns, the thornbush is full of roses."
There's another by Celia Luce:
"A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to ur eye and it fills the whole world & puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and have it examined & properly classified. Throw it at ur feet and it can be seen at its true setting, just another tiny bump on the pathway of life."
But of course, it's all a part of my love for the take-it-easy-theory!
As for me, my personal way to bring myself up is writing down what i'm feeling and thereby analysing myself, eventually reaching a point where i come to the decision that i'm not perhaps as bad as i think i am, or it doesnt really matter if i am, or just simply- "i rock!"
