Get it - get it better or get it worse. No middle ground of compromise.
We think that life is about get the girl, get the guy, get the car, get the job, get the house, get the kids, get the better job, get the better car, get the better house, get the promotion, get the office in the corner, get the kids on their way, get the grandkids, get the retirement watch, get the cruise tickets, get the illness, and get the heck out. That's it. That's a good life. But life has nothing to do with any of that. That is not our purpose in living. That is not the Agenda of the Soul.
I know that things get worse before they get better because that’s what my psychiatrist says, but this is a worse that feels too big.
It's OK to argue with your friends. Guys can do it better than girls, usually, but if you ever get into a fight with a true friend or a spouse or a boyfriend, get it out, fight, be angry for five minutes, and then move past it. Don't let it fester; don't hold a grudge. If you do, that's when it will get worse and worse.
The world is not bound to get better as a result of new discoveries in science and technology, nor is it bound to get worse, there will simply be new opportunities for making it better or worse.
The poor get worked, the rich get richer, The world gets worse, do you get the picture? The poor gets dead, the rich get depressed, The ugly get mad, the pretty get stressed. The ugly get violent, the pretty get gone, The old get stiff, the young get stepped on. Whoever told you that "it was all good" lied, So throw your fists up if you not satisfied.
It may get worse before it gets better. But it WILL get better.
When I was growing up, I always felt there was an expectation that I would do one of two things: be great at something, or go crazy and become a total failure. There is no middle ground where I come from, and I am only now beginning to get a sense that there is a middle ground at all.
We neither get better or worse as we get older, but more like ourselves.
You either get better or you get worse. Those are the only two options.
by thinking, nobody can ever get worse but will only get better.
Anytime you stop striving to get better, you're bound to get worse.
You never stay the same. You either get better or you get worse.
Every day you either get better or you get worse. You never stay the same.
There is no such thing as 'staying in shape;' you either work to get better, or you allow yourself to get worse.
When you hit a plateau you have to be willing to get a little bit worse before you get massively better.
Things will get worse before they get better.
