The summary.

I feel in a bit of an inspirational mood and I haven't blogged in a while so I figured it best if I did another. With the end of another year coming round I felt as though I needed to do a bit of a summary of the year and it's ins and outs.


Worth
The big decision of is something 'worth it' or not. We find ourselves asking this question more times than is sensible and we always seem to know immediately the answer is yes but then we continue to ignore that we know the answer and seek consolation in others. Why? Just human nature I guess. Isn't it that your first instinct is always right though? Why not just live off that. Whatever you think, you do. Whatever you do, you become. Whatever you become, will be great. It's a huge leap really, to try and trust yourself when so often we seem to stuff up some of the most simple things. But faith in yourself really can go a long way. Not just for you, but for others too.

Do it.
My best mate and I have thing saying which is our push point. If one of us is too scared to do something well then, "you only live once". After getting back in the car after buying red rooster from a very cute checkout chick, the question was thrown out if he should go back and get her number. My response was, "You only live once" Really, a dumb move on my part because now he uses it against me anytime I don't want to do anything. It is really such a great pressure point though. Not just with girls, but with anything in life that you're a little scared of. Fair chance that anything that involves a bit of risk, is scary. That's what makes a risk, a risk. Life is far too short to be worrying about risks. Fuck risks. Stop thinking, start doing. If you make it out the other side, alive, even if you are slightly damaged that's a win in my books. Take away the knowledge, experience, memories and forget the rest.

Regret
Such an ugly word. Such a shitty word. In your life, you should have zero regrets. But really the chances of that happening are next to nothing. You will have some regrets. If you don't then you're amazing and you really do deserve a medal. Having regrets is normal, just so long as you don't have any huge ones. When life offers you a huge chance, a huge possibility TAKE IT. For god's sake. It might not be the best, but it's a chance to do something! When you get offered a chance or an experience just think to yourself, if I say no, how much will I regret this? How much? Pissed off tomorrow? Or really really really reaaaallyy pissed off on my death bed?

The Importance of the Smallest Things
We don't always notice how important some of the smallest things are. Not always to us, but to other people. Sometime to people we don't even know. I'm not going to go into any depth other than the fact that sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference. It's the butterfly effect. Be conscious of your choices and decisions.

Shit.
There are times in life when everything is just shit. Your partners shit, your family's shit, and everything else, also turns to shit. It sucks. But really there is nothing you can do. As hard as it it, you have to put on a brave face and keep going. Know that you're strong and you can get through anything. That brings me to the next point of people.

People
There are some amazing people in the world, some wicked wicked people. People that are just so cool and you love so much. But you have to have balance in the world. For all the awesome people there are just as many shit people. People you wish you had never met and avoid at all costs. You take the good with the bad though. Enjoy all the good times with the people you love and the times you're stuck with people you hate and treat you like shit. Forget them. Move on. Remember the good times. If you're one of those stupid stupid people who seem to surround yourself with wankers, stop. Seriously, hang out with dirt. Be treated like dirt.

Things you don't know
You can't know everything, despite how hard you try. Some things are even better if you don't know. But in regards to the things you don't know, always assume the best. The glass is always half full, never half empty. If you don't know the truth then it's up to your imagination in the meantime to work it out. So why not have it be good rather than bad?

Try
Try. Try again. Try try again. And again and again. Sometimes all you can think is why the fuck do I bother? But whatever your reason is for trying in the first place, is your reason to keep trying. Again and again. Things.. take time. Like say, relationships. Especially relationships. Holy shit is it frustrating sometimes, but the wait is always worth the end result. Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end yet.

Never
Never turn away a good chance.
Never say 'no' to anything because you're scared.
Never be scared.
Never give up.
Never let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do.
Never let life pass you by, lose chances or waste time because life is too short for any of that. Live your life as you want, enjoy it, ignore risks and take every bloody chance you get.
