well, this is interesting. i quote that i actually find interesting and that i like. a lot of stuff people post is crap imo, so this is cool.
and if youre serious stk, about wanting to know what its about i'll give you what it seems to be for me.
it appears to be about the heart, love. "standing alone" obviously feeling isolater and be themselves, they want to believe that who they are is good enough, but for whatever reason cant get it in their head that it is. and always, it seems that because of this feeling, this perception of themself, that they wont be able to truely know if that other someone special truely cares for them, and in turn wont be able to get close enough to find out.
thats just my take on it though. i had to analyse quotes and right reflection papers on them in a philosophy class that i took, always did well, lots of fun doing it. anywhoo, thats the short verson that i wrote. hope it helps. |

to me it's that feeling you get of self conciousness when you really want to get close to someone or do something special, but you just can't fully believe in yourself so you never accomplish your goal. happens a lot in life.. people settle for the easy route instead of taking a chance...
smackdown... have you reached puberty yet? |

Wow...that's quite a powerful quote.
Is has a special meaning to me.
To me it means that unless you tackle your fears, you'll never know where you could have been. You'll always be on the outside looking in at what you could have done or accomplished, whether is be with your life has a whole or looking back what might have happened if you did talk to that good looking girl/guy.
You eat at your own banquet of regrets.
Fear and doubt are the two biggest slaves in someone's life.
They keep you from excelling and being the person you really want to be.
It's a major battle in my life because for years I've always been told that I can be much greater than I think of myself.
I'm only starting to realize this now and that's ok.
At least I've started. Some people never do.
Some people never get past the stimatism of what they see in the mirror everyday.
"Oh look, it's the same person as yesterday."
"What makes me think I'll get all the things I want in life?"
"That's just the way that I am and that's all I'll ever be"
"I'm just born that way"
"Why didn't I do it???"
"I'll never get that..."
The more you play these thoughts, like a tape over and over, the more they become a self-induced mental prison for your mind that actually believes you'll never get anywhere or do anything with your life.
The biggest cures are ACTION and ATTITUDE.
Go out and MAKE things happen in your life.
So what if you fail? At least you're trying to correct yourself.
A winner isn't born. A winner is someone who fails and fails and fails and fails until they win.
You're only a loser if you get knocked down and don't get UP!.
Do you think Ali was a ego maniac because he kept calling himself the champion over and over again? Saying it out loud all the time?
You know WHY he did that?
He knew that verbalizing that would reverberate in his ears and tell his brain that he IS the champion and his body would response and act accordingly.
He was creating a mental image of a winner for himself.
Was he being conceded?
People probably thought that, I mean, who talks about themselves that way? Most people that talk to themselves are crazy right? :crazy:
Try it sometime. It feels real wierd doing it the first couple times, but subconsciously, it makes a difference. It's better than the alternative.
And have the attitude that you can't loose. If you do, just chalk it up to experience and move on.
One of my favorite quotes is "if there isn't a while chalk outline around your body, today is a GREAT day!".
One day I'll be the person I really want to be and what others see in me.
For now, I'll just take the next step to the next day.
At least it's forward. :gsmile: |

ok: the german gets his shot at this:
let me look at the second part first, since i find it easier to interpret:
| quote: | but in my heart, uncertainty forever
lies and you'll always be somewhere on the outside |
to me this clearly means that he (i am not being sexist, but for simplicity, i assume the writer is male) is unable to ban the uncertainty form his heart. Which means that he does not believe the person he love fully, therefore this person will never be able to be completely in his heart.
ahh.. heck i gotta go.. sorry |

obviously about love of a person.. are you too good to be true, are you really how you are? I don't think I will ever know for sure - there's no place in my heart for uncertainty.
Where did you get this?? this part:
| quote: | | eager to just believe its good enough to be what you really are |
is written a bit confusing. my guess (and if im wring tell me, or dont, i guess its no problem either way) is that someone wrote you this in a letter or something.. it seems rather out of context to be just sitting there, plus the "..." gives it away... ;)
Anyways, if its from someone in your life its obviously saying they dont feel like they are certain as to who or what you/your intentions are.. i think i could go off for hours on this or that, but im not going to.. im really no expert on love or life or anything for that matter.
Thanks for enriching my day, though.
