Words to that speak to me

So I love music...always have...and always will....and I am mostly all over the board with the kind of music I like to...reason why I love pandora!!  Well I do have my favorite artists that I always default back to...well friday I was making a new playlist for running....my other one was getting old...and I need more upbeat music to keep me going....but I came across one of my favorite songs.."Only God Knows Why" by Kid Rock.....I love this song to begin with, but really love the lyrics...and especially this part:

"People don't know about the things I say or do

They don't understand about the shit that I've been through......

Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this

I said it too many times

And I still stand firm

You get what you put in

And people get what they deserve"

My favorite part is you get what you put in....I am a firm believer in this....so many people are looking for quick fixes....these quick fixes really do not fix anything at all....you need a long term plan....otherwise its just a band-aid for the real issue...since the real issue is never dealt with

I used to be the person who wanted quick fixes (this is still a work in progress)...and when I would revert back to my normal habits I realized that that didn't work at all....nothing changed in the end and it was just a viscous cycle I was going through....and I realized I could only change me and who and what was around me....you always want to change everyone else for the better....but that is not reasonable....everyone is responsible for their own actions and the consequences or rewards for those actions....accepting that was huge to me....that I am only responsible for myself....but if you work hard your pay off will be that much greater!!!
