5 Things I Want Right Now

To have dinner with Ashley of the edible perspective.


To go to Bonnaroo. Oh that would be so AMAZGING!


To visit one of the places on f*ckyeahghosttowns:


Château du Lac in northern France (photograph by Alain Dejeaifve) In the north of France, a more specific location could not be found on the web, remains a 16th century castle, one of the few reminders of that time in the region. Built on the ruins of a castle of the 13th century, this castle is a tasty mixture of Renaissance architecture extended by more common buildings. The castle is surrounded by a large wooded park entirely on a small hill overlooking the village, the valley and a small lake. It is attracting interest because it is of significant size and is an almost unique architectural example. Château du Lac was built in 1314 and suffered from many evils since then. It literally survived and lingered through time. Victim of fire, military occupation and now sheer abandonment, it is remaining feebly alive in an advanced decaying state… It has been left behind by its current owners, leaving it to decay. With no restoration for several decades, the roof begins to collapse and the castle has slowly deteriorated into its current state. Submitted by fuckyeahconformity


What about you?

Can't, Not, Won't, and Don't

The phrase "Never Say Never" is actually a great rule to follow. Ever notice that when you dread and dread and dread a situation or possible outcome, it happens? Whether you believe in The Universe, Manifestation, or just fate, you can not deny that you are behind all the actions in your life. And all actions, big or small, have been manifested through thought.


Seriously! You unconsciously breathe, but there is a thought in your brain sweeping through your respiratory system telling you to breath. Just as your brain consciously tells your lips to pose a seductive smile and your eyes to give a cute wink to that gorgeous bartender in the hopes that he'll give you a free drink. You want to breath, you want to wink. But what about what you don't want?

While a quick thought of "I'm not going to go out tonight" wont magically take you from your bed to the dance floor, continuously thinking "I'm not going to let her bring me down. I'm not going to let her bring me down" will flare your emotions. Causing anything that persons says to be insulting. Stressing that you "can't get sick" will bring your down with the negative infliction, but mentally exclaiming "I'm healthy!" will energize the mind and body.

Yes by mihol.Positive thinking isn't some New Age mumbo jumbo. Its something that the most talented and inspiring people live by. Living with a positive mind will take you from the bottom of the barrel to the top of the highest mountain, up to the stars. Learn about any rags to riches story, you'll find that even at the worst of times, the diamonds in the rough knew that they would make it and knew that they were strong.


If you feel like you must use a negative word, make sure to incorporate a positive part at then end. Example:
"I'm not going to fall for <so and so's> games, because I am strong."

So now, when you think about what you don't want, your also including what you do want. Making your desired outcome more possible because your not mentally psyching yourself out. At some point just emphasize on the positive:
"I am strong. I am strong. I am STRONG!"

Need some help with some positive affirmations? When you find yourself in a "Can't, Not, Won't, and Don't" moment add a "because..." and insert:

  • I am smart.

  • I am mature.

  • I am wise(r).

  • I am worth more.

  • I deserve more.

  • I know what I want.

  • I am talented.

  • I am amazing.

  • I ROCK!
