Wearing Out Vs Rusting Out; Embracing Life's Challenges

 Theodore Roosevelt once said, "We must all either wear out or rust out, every one of us. My choice is to wear out." This powerful quote is a reminder that we have a choice on how we live our lives and if we want to make the most of our time on this earth, or simply fade away.

Roosevelt was a man with a lot of energy and drive. He lived life to the fullest and accomplished great things. His quote encourages us to do the same. Whether we're working, exercising, or pursuing our passions, we should put our all into everything we do. We should strive to wear out rather than rust out.

When we wear out, we're using our physical and mental strengths to their fullest potential. We're pushing ourselves to the limit, taking risks, and embracing challenges. Wearing out means that we're exploring our true potential and not allowing fear or laziness to hold us back. Whether it's trying something new, stepping outside of our comfort zone, or pursuing a new opportunity, we should always choose to wear out rather than rust out.



So what can we do to ensure that we're wearing out? Firstly, we must set goals and push ourselves towards them. This could be anything from learning a new hobby, running a marathon, or starting a new business venture. We must also challenge ourselves daily and step outside of our comfort zones regularly. This could mean taking the stairs instead of the elevator, going for a morning jog, or reaching out to a new connection.

Above all, we must commit to living a full and active life. Making the choice to wear out means making the most of the time we have, taking risks, and embracing challenges. By doing so, we can push ourselves to greater heights and achieve our dreams. So let's wear out instead of rust out, and live life to its fullest potential.

Different Times

 So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.

Movin' down the line

....See, this love just keeps getting sweeter
Year after year
You know you're something like a miracle
Always knew you would appear...

Listening to...



"I close my eyes and... Kept on pushing,

I just stopped looking and guess who showed up.

My friend won't let you down, He's always been around.
That's one thing I know for sure. Even when I'm wrong,
He's right at my door.
He'll never ignore."

"I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times



But everyday I count my blessings this way 'cause I know that everyday's a different day. My friends can change but his will never change.
And I knew there would be some time, when I would second guess my mind.


So I kept on walking, kept on striving,
Kept on singing and guess who showed up.


As I walked down the street one day, I thought I heard a brother say
'Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one, ' As long as I, that's why I always try and do my best to search inside.
But I knew there would be a day, when I had to look the other way.


So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up...."
