How to Be a Romantic

Because romantics are far too rare.

from the heart of jonnytran and the soul of pneuma

Have a question?
You should ask it here.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet;

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

By W.B. Yeats

It's all in your head

pneuma:

“Those who consider themselves lucky tend to exhibit similar attitudes and behaviors. Their unlucky counterparts tend to exhibit opposite traits.

Lucky people tend to maximize chance opportunities. They are especially adept at creating, noticing, and acting upon these opportunities when they arise. Second, they tend to be very effective at listening to their intuition, and do work (such as meditation) that is designed to boost their intuitive abilities. The third principle is that lucky people tend to expect to be lucky, creating a series of self-fulfilling prophecies because they go into the world anticipating a positive outcome. Last, lucky people have an attitude that allows them to turn bad luck to good. They don’t allow ill fortune to overwhelm them, and they move quickly to take control of the situation when it isn’t going well for them.”

It’s all in your head heart.

Thoughts from the head are great at imagining all the things that can go wrong and how to avoid and solve problems. But the above paragraph goes against any logical state of mind.

The feeling centered in your chest is what does the dreaming — and is your connection to Serendipity. AKA Lady Luck.

I’m all for questions over answers, but the above statement is hilariously self-contradictory when blogged. Even if it were true that computers only give answers, I wouldn’t blame the machines, but their makers.

That is exactly right. :)

Every statement can be flipped on its head and interpreted as a question.

We have not met yet, but my dark-haired beauty and I are on a collision course.  Only Serendipity knows the way.

Watch your beliefs because they become your thoughts.
Watch your thoughts because they become your actions.
Watch your actions because they become your habits.
Watch your habits because they become your destiny.
