Love your life, perfect your life
I don't know if any of you will fully read that quote by Chief Tecumseh (Shawnee Chieftain) but you should, over and over again. It's meaningful and in my opinion if a person is to build and lead a meaningful life one should feed on a diet of meaningful influences, thoughts and behaviours. It's a personal choice though - I know what worked (and works) for me and what I've achieved and created through the ethos and practice of it but not everyone wants a meaningful life I guess, especially as it takes a lot of effort.
It's Saturday and we felt keen for a walk. I was a little annoyed however as we had need to travel to the city (otherwise called, "the shitty") to do some things (which I may write about down the track) and that meant a nice hike in the countryside wasn't possible. Never one to let anything get in the way however, we decided to combine our Saturday-city-commitment with a big old walk around it.
We parked close to where our meeting was in one of those hideously annoying and expensive multi-level car parks and went straight to our city-thing then 90 minutes later pointed our feet in the direction of one of the parklands that virtually surround the city and did a massive loop right around the city keeping to those parks as much as possible. It was a legit-long walk but a good one.
I believe it's important to make the best of what life hands us; that means working on the bad to improve it, celebrating the good and seeking to replicate it and to "see and create" opportunities everywhere. To do other than this is, in my opinion, is to only partially live life and that just won't do.
Like Chief Tecumseh says in his quote above: "love your life, perfect your life."
I don't think "perfect" ever exists but seeking improvement is certainly within everyone's grasp and if we fail at that what's the harm, we can always try again.
Anyway, I'm not trying to persuade you I guess, just open up a thought or two. Only you can find the desire to improve your life, to love and close-to-perfect it, and only you can make it happen. Choose to or not, you'll end up in the same place...all human beings do (dead I mean); what's important along the way is whether the journey was meaningful.
Here's some Saturday music selections of mine, tracks I've listened to recently, all today as it turns out. If you'd like to get involved write a post, tag it #saturdayselections and post it in the

Hi @galenkp, the quote you leave us with today is unspeakable to me. I wouldn't know what to say about every idea contained between those lines without spoiling the quote. It is a marvel.
And listening to The Police this Saturday morning, I found it very enjoyable. I like this song.
It's an awesome quote by a fellow who lived a lot of life, and certainly one of my favourite quotes if all tim. I'm glad you like it...and the music too.
The quote is excellent, thank you.
Happy weekend ☺️
I don't know if there are many lives, I suppose there are, but the one I remember is this one and we must always seek to improve it and move forward. The phrase is wonderful in all its parts and very true. I am not afraid of death, as it is only a door to go through, but while I am here I will do my best. Hug!
Today's musical selection is fantastic, I liked it very much!
I thought you'd like the music this week, pretty good huh?
You know my tastes! I enjoyed them a lot, I put them on the list and I have passed them several times... very good!!!
Tecumseh was a great chief and was well respected Warrior. Great quote, and the motivation to help get me started this morning. Sounds like a mighty nice walk. Lovee Nickleback and the Police, Every Breath You Take brings back some memories from my youth. Keep on having a great weekend!
Hey mate, yepnindeed, he was a good chap and lived life his way for sure.
I'm glad you liked the tunes and I hope you have a good weekend.

"If you see no reason to be grateful, the fault lies with yourself."
I really like these words, full of meaning to be grateful for what we have, not the opposite. At least that's the meaning I can interpret from those words. Greetings!
I think there's a lot to unpack with this quote and different people will pick up or relate to different parts. I'm glad you like it, thanks for letting me know.
Wow I have never listen and read first time this quote but yeah the thing which I like is love your life enjoy to the fullest make some memories don't run with doing shitt things. But yeah i even think perfect life also sounds something like you are comfortable with.... your life.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the quote, it's meaningful when understood in the context of our own personal lives.
Not only have I read the full quote, but I have sent it to three people who I think need it, thank you so much for sharing it 🙏
I've been reading various community posts for a while now, and I think you've made many people think about helping someone who's being attacked on the street, including me. I won't write about that topic, but it's made me reflect a lot. I also think that no matter what the answer is right now, I believe that only then would we truly know what we would do. For example, I always surprise myself with the way I act in decisive moments.
It's always interesting to visit Weekends Experience, bro. You do a great job! I don't know if I've told you this before, but you were the one who inspired me to run the community I started, and I still think I'm still in diapers 😅
Quotes like this can help people find and follow a better path in their own lives and the smart people are doing it. There's so much value in understanding the experiences that others have had before our time...and it's a good way to work on a better future.
Thanks for your kind words, I am happy to help people discover things about themselves and if my little concept or generally posts do that I feel quite rewarded.
I don't like people who live their lives regretting how they do. With few exceptions, they have the opportunity to change what they don't like about their current life, but they prefer complaint over action.
I have not lived an extraordinary life, but I am happy with the one I have had. I have fought to get what I want and I have achieved it. I do not blame the environment I live in if it is not in my hands to change it, I try to adapt and look for solutions.
I read the boss's sentence, and I read it again to share it with my family.
I'm pleased to read that ownership is something you value and that you've taken ownership of your own life which is critical to its success in my opinion.
Well said ☝🏼
I admit it. I skipped it after the first couple lines. But your opening sent me back...
I took from it the "Do unto others" ideology and go out like a fucking Viking.!!
Weird that you post that NB. I have been focusing on a song from Nickelback since reading one of your posting in Shitography. The song is "Photograph"
They wrote it for me. From the opening lines about my childhood best friend Joe. To the lyrics about tryin to go back and finish school...😳
Yeah, a lot probably skipped it as they do other things of value in life. I'm glad you went back and read it though because there's a lot of wisdom to be found in it.
That NB song you mention is a good one, more than just a song when thought of in respect of one's life as you have.
I was not aware of this phrase and I will incorporate it among my favorites because it is in tune with my philosophy of life.
As I read your post, the way you started with the bad mood and the end told me that by improving and forgetting how bad the initial grooming was and how expensive the parking lot was turned it into a positive journey that surely had a better ending to your day.
I think for the short time we are in life we should try to live positively, put away the bad and live fully as if every moment was the last.
Thanks for sharing.
I am now listening to one of my all time favorite bands Air Supply.
Happy weekend.
Cheers and best regards.
I'm glad you found some value, thanks for reading?
You like Air Supply? That's a blast from the past, good band though. ✅
Air Supply is one of the bands that are in my music collection. In fact, in one of the relationships I had during my student days, my love for their music was one of the elements that brought us together.
Happy Sunday.
Cheers and greetings.
I like how music can be so pivotal in outlr lives and it helps us recall and re-live certain events.
Have a nice Sunday also.
A while ago, I read about Tecumseh, a great chief. His words were very wise; for someone with such little time in life, they make me reflect.
But I hold on to his words: working on the bad, celebrating the good, and seeing and creating opportunities everywhere. I’ll stick with that. Life is too short not to live it and to fight for what’s ours and to seek constant improvement.
This week, I’m holding on to "Eternity". I loved the song!
That's a good part of the quote to focus on at your stage of life.
It's interesting that in the quote there's something that (I think) everyone could relate to and which could apply to so many different situations or stages of life which is why I like it so much.
As for that track, yep it's a good one for sure.
