Expectations Too Much Stood Up

More From Jeff Lindsay

I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
Courage Purpose World
Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow, side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,in the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!
Wall Lying Heart
At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.

All of you are aware of the tragic history of racism in america, but for a very long time, african-americans and their white allies came together and they struggled and they stood up for justice and they stood up to lynching and they stood up to segregation and the stood up to a nation where african-americans couldn't even vote in america.
White America Lynching
I don't burden myself too much with others' expectations - or even my own expectations. i think your happiness grows in direct proportion to your acceptance, and in inverse proportion to your expectations. it's just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other - or doing the next right thing, so to speak.
Acceptance Thinking Expectations
Creation is all things and us. it is us in relationship with all things. all things, the ones we see and the ones we do not; the whirling galaxies and the wild suns, the black holes and the microorganisms, the trees and the stars, the fish and the whales - the molten lava and the towering snow-capped mountains, the children we give birth to and their children, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs.
