Hope

“Hope is not a course of action.”

-Buddy Wakefield

I absolutely love this quote! It is so simple but yet so profound. It is truly a great reminder..

Enlightenment

“There are massive stacks of bad choices in my backyard.
Haven’t finished cleaning the place up
but I’m workin’ on it
and clearly I have not yet reached enlightenment
for more than a fleeting moment
but I’m tryin’
and I found somethin’ here I want ya to have.
It’s not much
just a story
but it’s all I’ve got
so take it.”

I am working on finding enlightenment because there have been many bad choices that I have made. I unintentionally hurt people that I care a lot about, some of these people are still in my life others not so much. It’s a live and learn kind of thing that I need to work on.

So are we.”

This is absolutely amazing! It’s one of my favourite videos of Buddy Wakefield. 🙂

Let It All Go

“Let it all go from the get go
let go, let God let it go
leave it alone, let it pass
let it be,c’est la vie, whats done is done
hang up on it
land the plane, don’t get on that train
the bus has already left
this too, shall pass

shake it off, cut your losses
bust loose, break free,
its water under the bridge
what comes around, goes around
go around, get over it, get it together
get a grip, get moving, keep moving
move on, move forward, forward march
stop, drop it, squash it, release
relax.

spilled water cannot be poured back.
don’t look back. enough is enough. quit dwelling.
forget it, forgive it, right now, as is.
nothing is against us.

our craving for annihilation will be laid to rest,
with the apocalyptic resentment and the compounding stress.
yes, said the answer.
yes, said the breath.
the consequences are immediate.
so when you breathe,
you might try freeing both lungs up.”

-Buddy Wakefield, Free Air

I absolutely love this. It reminds me to let it all go. Never attach yourself to your past. Embrace the now. “Nothing is against us.” Just breathe. It motivates me to stay mindful and in the moment.

Slowing Down – Buddy Wakefield

“Here’s to today, slowing down, suspending judgement and breast strokes through chaos.”

I absolutely love this quote. It reminds me that no matter how chaotic things may be we will overcome it all by remaining calm and positive.

No Comparisons – Buddy Wakefield

“Let your head climb back down through your throat and into your body so it can see just how good you look when you’re not compared to anything.”

-Buddy Wakefield

This is beautifully said.

Every Day – Buddy Wakefield

“Every day is one day less.”

Accomplish what you plan to complete. Live as if today is your last. Never leave anything incomplete or unsaid. There are only so many tomorrows left. Do what ought to be done.

Heart – Buddy Wakefield

“If my heart
really broke
every time I fell from love
I’d be able to offer you confetti by now.

But hearts don’t break,
y’all,
they bruise and get better.”

This is a reminder that no matter how broken you feel you are, that you will mend into something beautiful. Just never give up.
