Anthony Hopkins – Dig Ditches

Anthony Hopkins

People all over the world, wherever you are, I know it’s not easy for you right now… I’m an old man, I’ve been alive a long time and I live with optimism. Appeal to desperate young people.. Trust me.. I read it but I don’t remember where, was it in the Old Testament or was it in Carlos Castaneda’s, about a shaman.. There was a drought – cattle were dying, people were dying.. And the shaman said: “Make ditches.” Dig rain ditches. ” “But there is no rain.” Dig ditches and the rain will come. Unbelievers will say this is nonsense .. OK, believe what you want .. This is rational thinking .. But I think rational thinking is not working right now . Irrational, subconscious thinking is needed! When I was little, I dreamed of being what I am now.. Maybe I had a vision, I don’t know.. I didn’t expect much, but what I dreamed and fantasized happened to me.. And now I believe we can draw the future to us.. Whatever you decide to do, believe it!!..Act as you believe it! This is power! This is absolute power! Is agnostic, atheist, anyone… – whatever.. Just believe!

I Walked Away

I Walked Away

I once walked into a room where a couple of my friends were talking about me and they didn’t know I was there. I shook my head, smiled and walked away.

I once had a bestfriend who talked bad about me, and never knew that I found out, I never mentioned it. I just smiled and walked away from that friendship.

I had a couple family members who chose to shift me out of their life because I stood up for myself for a change. And because I stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even jump over a puddle for me, I smiled, shook my head and walked away.

I was in a relationship once where I was always put last no matter what I did for them and I realized at that very moment, someones effort is their direct reflection of their interest in you.

So, I walked away and never looked back.

Someone asked me how I could just walk away from people that betrayed me while pretending to be my significant other, friends or family.

I said that every time I came to a crossroad like that, I had to decide who will be going forward on my journey with me. This showed me who I cannot take along with me.

You should never get mad at a person who betrays you, even in the name of friendship or family.

Just gracefully bow out and enjoy your journey and remember, the moment you start to wonder if you deserve better, you do.
