Sometimes you have to make your own road to get where you want to go.
"A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks there should be." - Albert Einstein
"Don't let schooling interfere with your education." - Mark Twain
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe anything simply because it is found in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." - Buddha
"A single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." - Henry David Thoreau

Put On The Breaks

          Life sure does get busy, doesn't it? Whether it's work, play, family life or college life, whatever it is that is keeping our days busy seems to make us age so quickly. We look up and years have gone by. We need to stop, be still, close our eyes and just reflect. As the great Ferris Beuller once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." Boy, was he right.        
           For a lover of music like me, certain songs help me to slow my pace. I think most of us have that one song that turns us to putty and just totally mellows us out no matter how crazy the day has been. I just wanted to share mine. I hope it causes the same amount of peace and reflection in others that it has in me.
