I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself…

…A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. (D. H. Lawrence) This quote has always stuck with me, its a reminder that there’s no room for self-pity, that one should live a stoic life.

Every choice you make, decision you take, word you speak and action you take is ultimately your choice, your action or reaction to the world around you. So this life, you chose.

This life, you chose.

You ultimately control you actions and reactions to the world around you, and ultimately this is the only freedom of choice you have. so you might as well be deliberate and decided in your actions.

This life, you chose.

So you really don’t have anyone else to blame and you really don’t have anyone else to rely on, so be spartan and take responsibility for your actions and decisons. be deliberate.
