[calamitynowhere]

Show me love as we grow colder Let our love provide the heat But our ? There's a blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm When I find you fast asleep at half past four There's a record we keep turning that reminds us of our youth But there's still nothing as beautiful as you

Song of Evening: Laura Veirs - Don't Lose Yourself To quote the great James Allen, "He ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself." A great investor by the name of Benjamin Graham also said something of the same sort - "Since I cannot control the markets, I must learn how to predict and control my own behavior." Meaning - as the great Laura Veirs and the presented Song of Evening reminds, above all else, "Don't Lose Yourself." The places you've been, the place you're at, the places you'll be. Be great, be the best you can be in whatever situation you are in, and don't lose sight of yourself and who you know you are deep down. There are signs and patterns in everything and if you can recognize them and react accordingly, you'll never fail to keep yourself happy and in the best possible position to always succeed, all the while never losing hold of who you really are. "Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself." - James Allen
