Quote by Fred Durst

When life was worrying about a car payment or a rent payment and a bill, you're so consumed with that, you really don't have time to know yourself. That's surviving and getting by.

When life was worrying about a car payment or a rent payment

Summary

This quote suggests that in times of financial struggle, our focus becomes solely centered on meeting basic needs, leaving little room for self-discovery and personal growth. The constant worry about essential payments like car loans, rent, and bills becomes all-consuming, hindering our ability to introspect and understand ourselves more deeply. It implies that such circumstances reduce life to a state of survival, where mere existence and making ends meet become the primary concerns, overshadowing personal introspection and self-awareness.

I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to fee

I once felt all that kind of anger, which a man ought to feel, against the mean principles that are held by the Tories: a noted one, who kept a tavern at Amboy, was standing at his door, with as pretty a child in his hand, about eight or nine years old, as I ever saw, and after speaking his mind as freely as he thought was prudent, finished with this unfatherly expression, Well! give me peace in my day. Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must some time or other finally take place, and a generous parent should have said, If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.

I was going through a little bit of turbulence in my career. And so, it's funny how turbulence itself will make you hold onto something for security. And so the only thing I knew is trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own heart, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.
