I don't have time to sit up and write songs all day. Maybe one day when my kids get older.
I had my crisis at 30. I was actually really comfortable with 40. Life was in a better place.
Everybody goes through their life in different ways. I definitely am having my journey. It evolves and changes. At some moments, I feel totally off center and trying to find my way back.
Wisdom comes through suffering. Trouble, with its memories of pain, Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep, So men against their will Learn to practice moderation. Favours come to us from gods.
Each one chooses his or her path to come in contact with the external world. I chose to merge with the environment.
When tempest tossed, embrace chaos.
Every time I reform in one direction I go overboard in another.
Perpetually doing, without ever tuning in to the center of our being, is the equivalent of fueling a mighty ship by tossing all its navigational equipment into the furnace.
I did stand-up comedy for seventeen years. I need to explore other things.
If you don't find true balance, anyone can deceive you.
'Life as a Dog' is when I really started to feel comfortable, like I had the due north on my compass.
The post area I had to unlearn. And yeah, now it's a relearning process. It's different. It's learning what works and what doesn't work.
I've found that there is always some beauty left-in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. And whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!
Its all about finding the calm in the chaos.
I don't live in as much fear as I used to. I'm not afraid of the music business. Life is too damn short. I know what's important, and the tasks are very clear.
I don't really want more time; I just want enough time. Time to breathe deep and time to see real and time to laugh long, time to give You glory and rest deep and sing joy and just enough time in a day not to feel hounded, pressed, driven, or wild to get it all done-yesterday.
At some point in your career, maybe you, too, have made the life-altering decision to start anew. If so, you know first-hand how exciting, challenging, and sometimes disorienting the first 30, 60, 90 days can be.
Prayer keeps me centered.
Before I found my peace, I was way too much in my head. I found myself on the field in my own thoughts. I've learned that there's a time and a place for my thoughts. The most important thing when I'm on the field is to just be in the moment and let it all go.
I went through all these different phases in my life. And now, I'm finally in a place where I know who I am; I just needed that extra push. I feel really, really good in the position I'm in right now, and I don't feel like I completely neglected my pop-rock sound: I was able to bring it in with my country roots.
Did you stop because it was good enough, or could have done more - but then maybe ruined it too? Sometimes you finish because you've gone too far.
I don't know if I'm a writer who plays poker or a poker player who writes.
Resolutions are exhausting. Embrace ease.
My belief is in the chaos of the world and that you have to find your peace within the chaos and that you still have to find some sort of mission.
I have to throw off the burden and the pressure.
