Been a busy start to the year but I am back with a #ThoughtfulDailyPost! @Wesphilbin waves the flag for us and runs @thoughtfulpost as the curation account that rewards thoughtful posts. Please join us in sharing your positive vibes on the blockchain and consider delegating.

Here are a few few bits of internet wisdom that caught my eye and qualified for discussion with a fantastic legion of followers, engagers and weirdos connected through the #hive blockchain. Now with added music!

# Gimme a Break

[Les Brown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Brown_(politician)) is also known as "Leslie Calvin Brown (born February 17, 1945) is an American politician and motivational speaker." He started his career in radio and went on to become a member of the Ohio House of Representatives in the late 70s. Now, he is better known as a motivational speaker and has a website where you can sign up for a free book https://lesbrown.com/

I do love the title of this one. I am not sure if it is my generation or just me but I am surely not alone in being a little tough on myself. I hate failure but have come to cherish in for the wisdom benefits in the long game. Losers don't fail, everyone does. What do you do with that? Imagine the manual that would explain how to get it right all the time. I probably wouldn't read the whole thing anyway!

Truth is we all fail and I love the soothing notion that it is an integral part of creating that great life. A great life having developed wisdom which doesn't come simply from failing, but from the time spent contemplating that failure. Let us contemplate more and beat ourselves up less.

I seem to share plenty of Billy Joel on the thoughtful daily and You Are Only Human seems to fit the bill this time.

Forgive and Move Forward

Nejwa Zebian is actually Canadian living 45 minutes down the road from me but was born in Lebanon. She is an activist, author and speaker who gained fame on Instagram but her Wiki page seems to have issues with neutrality, citations and subjectivity but I will give the quote some thought!

The first line did speak to me in the same manner as the previous quote. I definitely fall into the trap of letting some memories echo around and batter the inside of my skull. Again I question the generation or that lingering Catholic guilt but it is what it is.

Accepting the past is more easily said than done and I have to mindfully remind myself of that. How it should have been may sometimes feel like riches slipped between fingers but that is only a figment of our imagination because if it should have been, it would have been. Might have been? maybe.

Either way, I find the best way to deal with a situation is to spend time thinking, "Now what? What are you going to do about it?" Let's move forward.

I always loved the feel of Don Henley's voice with or without The Eagles. Forgiveness is a damn good one.

Nothing like getting thoughtful as it is not the mistakes that lead to wisdom, it is contemplating those mistakes. If being thoughtful is up your alley, you have the option to delegate to @thoughfulposts to increase the rewards for positivity. https://hive.blog/introduceyourself/@thoughtfulposts/thoughtfulposts-introduction-or-a-thoughtfuldailypost is the post that started it all over 3 years ago!

I invite you to pen your own #thoughtfuldailypost any day of the week and share your insight on the world through your blog.

    Just like that, bad time and good time are part of human life and man should keep working hard and not worry during bad time, then one day will surely come when man will have good time all the time. Things will happen.

  • @biyimi(69)· 970d

    Perfectly true. Instead of us dwelling on our mistakes. We should pick it up and make adjustments to correct those mistakes. We should not live in the regret of our Mistakes

  • @videoaddiction(72)· 970d

    We can't be perfect all the time.

  • @precab(62)· 971d

    Perfectly said. Sometimes why we break down is because we don't give ourselves that break. If only we can give ourselves break, we will bounce back more strong

    Shoulda coulda woulda rumbles round inside my head constantly. I do realize that those rumblings impede significant forward motion, so I am going to give myself a break. I will keep the memories but drop the guilt. Maybe I should print out those quotes and read them daily. Yes, let's move forward!

  • @rafzat(71)· 971d

    I’ve been on break for two years. What kind of break? I took a break from all kinds of enjoyments and all so I could save up for my business I’m sure so many people may be thinking I was lost or something but to me, the break will bring a good comeback

  • @incublus(79)· 971d

    Sometimes a break is an opportunity to pick ourselves up. Things don't always go well, but somehow we have to get back on our feet, right?

  • @blind-spot(76)· 971d

    Najwa's words ricochet with me on a personal level, too. Somehow, due to recent circumstances, moving forward has become an impossible task, or at least seemingly impossible. Have you ever met her btw? You must have crossed paths at the least, right?
