The Cynical Girl: Let Me Inspire You And Let’s Move On

Posted: 12 Sep 2012 03:45 AM PDT

I have always believed that you can do better and achieve more. That’s why I write this blog. You are destined for more than this. There is someone out there for you. The best is yet to come. Of course I want you to follow your dreams and never give up on yourself.

But I also know that life is random and unfair. The world plays out in strange and cruel ways, too.

Sometimes I want you to stop looking for more than this. I want you to learn how to be happy with what’s been given to you. Even if it’s horrible. And I want you to be the kind of person who finds motivation from within instead of from a shitty blog or a shitty motivational speaker.

There are good quotes out there.

The way to gain a good reputation, is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. — Socrates
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. — Henry David Thoreau
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools. — Albert Einstein
Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. — Joseph Campbell
Be faithful to that which exists within yourself. — Andre Gide
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. — Ayn Rand
If you can dream it, you can do it. — Walt Disney
Well done is better than well said. — Benjamin Franklin

Those quotes are fine, but I really want you to be better than this.

Don’t be the guy who looks for inspiration from a blogger or a speaker. Be the guy who does something to distract himself from the pain of life and winds up doing something cool by accident.
