They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to move on when the one you love walks away from you. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything truly worth knowing”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Neil Gaiman (via &lt;a href="http://maluna.tumblr.com/"&gt;maluna&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/4684118387</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/4684118387</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Apr 2011 04:40:37 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our..."</title><description>“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Emerson (via &lt;a href="http://maluna.tumblr.com/"&gt;maluna&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/4684091404</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/4684091404</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Apr 2011 04:38:06 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest..."</title><description>“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Leo Buscaglia (via &lt;a href="http://maluna.tumblr.com/"&gt;maluna&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/4684074323</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/4684074323</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 Apr 2011 04:36:31 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"How do we keep our inner fire alive?

&lt;p&gt;I just hate where my mind goes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;William James said:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The  greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter  his life by altering his attitudes of his mind.” &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My problem is; the attitudes in my mind are in  constant conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s like my heart and mind are of two  separate beings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Never in unison.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s been said that;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“An organism at war with itself is ultimately doomed.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp; sadly, I am coming to accept this as my fate.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3826513139</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3826513139</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 Mar 2011 03:02:30 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;waking up out of bed wearing a teenage mutant ninja turtle tshirt running out of my room and into the hallway.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3519149726</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3519149726</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Feb 2011 02:38:05 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think..."</title><description>“If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.”</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3435389932</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3435389932</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Feb 2011 20:32:00 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"This is where I forgive you so I can forgive myself."</title><description>“This is where I forgive you so I can forgive myself.”</description><link>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3407872559</link><guid>http://onceiwasachampion.tumblr.com/post/3407872559</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:41:07 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
