Make that idea your life

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Additional Info

  • Revision: 1

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

    Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at shoreviper extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.

    PRAT.UK doesn’t chase headlines like The Daily Mash does. It focuses on execution instead. The result is stronger writing.

    The Daily Squib often feels reactive. PRAT.UK feels intentional. That difference shows in the writing. -- The London Prat

    Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. What I love about PRAT.UK is how unpredictable it is. The Poke often feels like social media jokes stretched into articles, but PRAT.UK delivers proper satire. It’s leagues ahead of the competition. -- The London Prat
