Poetic Reasoning

Poetic reasoning is what you do when you, work out a problem with a quote...or should I say not so much as work out a problem, but identify a struggle in life with a quote or poem, and in effect use that quote/poem to work through it......This is a hard concept to explain so forgive me if I word something wrong....but I will try and explain it from an example....

When I was younger around 16/17 I had allot of crap going on in my life....I found that people I spoke to were constantly throwing quotes at me...things like "Always expect the unexpected" and "Have faith in yourself and everything you do"....These are two that have stuck.....there were plenty more....but what ended up happening, was that I used these quotes and analogies to build a belief system.....yes and we are now going back to a topic I touched on in my first post....my base of knowledge and beliefs, that enables me and also other people to feel secure in themselves....but still allows me to expand and grow....
Though right now this post seems to be about me so I will do it that way,....just know that other people have it...I know this because I have spoken about this with a few people...and anyway everybody has a favourite quote......

Anyway I have quite a few quotes, and beliefs that derive from those, that enables me to function as a sane human being....well relatively sane....lol...I use these quotes as a belief system to help me make the right choices and decisions in life....but there is also quotes that allow me to make mistakes...but to always remember to "learn from everything you do"...this is one in particular that allows it...." you gotta make choices be wrong or right, take responsibility for those choices whether the consequences are good or bad" This is a hard quote to live by because we all make stupid and even down right wrong decisions in our lives, but because of this quote and others, I have learned that the best way to be, is honest with your self and other's....to always accept that you have done something wrong, when you have and then do your best to fix it....Even though the easy way out would be to ignore, deny and just not accept, that you may be in the wrong...that is very easy to do....but not right.....

There are quotes that inspire me to be all I can be.....such as " If you can think it ...you can do it" also "Never give up" "Never stop trying...there is always a way"....these are the few that I can think of...off the top of my head...but they are quotes that drive me to do my best in any situation or project....

There are quotes that help me when I are feeling completely and utterly depressed and down, and that I use to help me out of tough times....like.."Adversity doesn't just build character, it reveals it" and " Life is not about how or why you fall....but how we are able to pick ourselves up after every time"...and recently some-one I know mentioned a quote that also fits in this category and I really felt it hit home...."You won't win every time, but if you don't fight you will always lose"....Also another one I recently discovered off somebody on Facebook..."Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.”

These are just some .....that help me get through tough moments....but remembering that this whole concept is all good and well to work with, but you have to have the will and drive to use it ....and also you have to take into consideration what types of quotes, people choose to live by, this is a huge thing....because not all quotes are good and helpful.....some can be destructive and just down right wrong.....so then you also have to take the variable of a persons personality and work it into this whole equation....maybe....this whole thing is just a sole belief of mine and I shouldn't encourage this....oh well it has taken me ages to write this up so too bad we are all stuck with this bizarre thought.....

Oh yeah and another problem with this is if you apply the wrong quote to a particular situation which can be done ...trust me...and then you in effect can make a huge mistake or a really wrong decision....what then....then you have to try and figure out how to apply another one to fix it....lol...Already got that one for ya...."The best you can do in any situation good or bad is...learn from it" "just more lessons learnt" or "what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger" ....lol...But then I just have gone around full circle....I think I had better shut up I have completely lost track...of what I was saying....

I need to go and sleep on this one some more....be back later....

Just me....
