THIS QUOTE i ran into today, it was posted by my sister on facebook, and I noticed this is a great way to illustrate and explain the way i see things;

i think usually CHALLENGES TEACH YOU MORE, now im not gonna say i've never been "oh poor me!" bcuz i'd be lying; but i think i really wanna make my point bcuz i see ppl everyday running away from a crisis as if it was sent by "evil forces outthere" and feeling like poor victims; while the truth is, YOUR HIGHER SELF IS TRYING TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING.

"Let's not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things. A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress.

Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. It's in crisis that inventive is born, as well as discoveries, and big strategies. Who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome. Who blames his failure to a crisis neglects his own talent, and is more respectful to problems than to solutions. Incompetence is the true crisis.

The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems. There's no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony. There’s no merit without crisis. It's in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis is to promote it. Not to speak about it is to exalt conformism. Let us work hard instead.

Let us stop, once and for all, the menacing crisis that represents the tragedy of not being willing to overcome it."

Albert Einstein

"Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering. It's not enough to have lived it once; you have to relive it. Darkness is not a pejorative thing."

Naomi Watts
