reasons ...

"Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don't count." Dr. Robert Anthony

WAITING ... is always a solution from not achieving something or better said, for not acting. We are afraid to make the big step because we are afraid to be right. We need to make ourselves to believe that one day, some day it will come. We wait until that perfect day will come ... and when that perfect day will come, we realize it is too late. Or maybe we don´t realize it at all. People also say ... it is too late, as I recognize it in my own language and behavior. The truth is that, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE! But, we need to get the courage to simply accept that WAITING is not a choice.

I am waiting for that perfect day to say YES, I am waiting till I get the perfect job to be happy and fulfilled, I am waiting for my kids to grow up, to be able to invest time in my hobbies, I am waiting till my retirement to start getting some rest ... and so on. Let´s face it!!! We are waiting till we die and there is nothing else to do.

We don´t know what is going to happen tomorrow, so why not take profit of this first day. It is a risk, but life is suppose to be challenging and fun ... risky, too. We risk when we eat artificial things, we risk when we get on the street, never knowing if every driver is a responsible one, we risk less years from our own life when starting smoking, drinking or taking drugs ... why not taking risk to something enjoyable that brings back the FUN and HAPPINESS in our life?
REASONS ... is a way of being comfortable with your life. It is much easier to make yourself believe that there is something out there that keeps you away ... far away from achieving your dreams. This are reasons!

"The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are. If you are loving, if you are friendly, if you are helpful, the world will prove loving and friendly and helpful to you. The world is what you are." said Thomas Dreier

And if we take reasons into account ... let´s put it in this way. If you are constantly finding reasons why not acting now, that is what you will get - reasons. Start acting responsible and focus on results and you will get them.

It is not easy .. I am not saying it is, or it should be ... believe me, I know how hard it is to deal with this kind of treats ... but it is achievable and rewarding. At one point, you will see results that will motivate you go forward and forward ... till you see your dreams realizing itself.

Memorable quotes for "Merlin"

Mordred: Why didn't you kill him, Auntie Mab?

Queen Mab: Because that's what he wanted me to do.

Merlin: You killed her.

Queen Mab: No, I didn't. I only let her die.

Lady of the Lake: It’s human to make mistakes Merlin, and part of you is human, the best part.

Morgan: I like the old ways. The old ways gave me Mordred. And they made me beautiful. Merlin: But beauty is only an illusion.

Morgan: Beauty is always only an illusion.

Vortigern: It's easy to die knowing you'll die for your country.

Lady of the Lake: Good king. Bad king. You judge too easily Merlin. You will learn.

Lady of the Lake: My sister was right about one thing. When we are forgotten, we cease to exist.

Ambrosia: Magic has no power over the human heart.

Father Abbott: Faith is Supreme, of course. But love is even better.

Vortigern: Patience isn't one of my virtues

Merlin: You have so few of those, I wouldn't worry about that one.

Vortigern: I didn't send for you

Nimue: That's why I'm here

Mordred: I'm sorry father, but I'm going to destroy you. And this time, your pet wizard won't save you.

Queen Mab: With evil all around me, I can do nothing but evil to survive.

Nimue: Oh... that's too easy.

King Arthur Pendragon: I made a mistake that night with Morgan. But I can't believe that I'll be condemned for all eternity for one mistake.

Merlin: No, not by me. I'll never condemn you Arthur.

Frik: Handsome is as handsome does. What does that mean? I never really understood the phrase.

Merlin: I'm thinking of the future here Morgan.

Morgan: Oh, you would think of the future, Merlin. Because the past is too painful.

Mordred: Good-bye Frick. I'll miss you. No, I won't.

King Arthur Pendragon: Merlin, what should I do?

Merlin: In the end, you must uphold the law.
Merlin: Lancelot always saved everything to the last moment. And then my memory of Lancelot is that he never got anything right.

Merlin: I have a life to live and a chance to live it.

Merlin: Will you be able to handle Mordred?

King Arthur Pendragon: It's just one more battle. And right is on our side.

King Arthur Pendragon: It's time to end it all.

Mordred: Well... we agree on that at least. You know father, if you'd lived, I don't think we'd have been very happy as a family.

Merlin: Thank you my old friend, for everything.

Frik: Oh, no need to thank me. I just love happy endings.

Merlin: I had won. I was trying to smile but it was the smile of desolution. Inside, I felt only the pity and the terror and the waste of it all. Everyone I had ever loved, and who ever loved me - all gone... all gone down...

Nimue: You've grown older.

Merlin: [Chuckles] . You too.

Nimue: Does it even matter?

Merlin: No. Not anymore.

Vortigern: That is a mistake many of my enemies make. They think before they act. I act before I think.

Ambrosia: You've been sliding down the ladder of success so quickly these last few years you must have got splinters in your backside.

Morgan: Am I beautiful, my love?

Frik: Beyond words. Am I?

Morgan: Oh yes. Beyond words.

Mordred: Father, you've hurt me. Here, in my heart. Not usually one of my vulnerable spots.

[last lines]

Merlin: There's no more. That's the end of magic...

Queen Mab: [after Mab and Frick had just appeared out of the closed door] We thought we would come in the traditional way, through the door.

Merlin: Its traditional to open it first.

Merlin: They say that when you're unhappy, time crawls by. When you're happy, however... my childhood must have been very happy.

Morgan: Mordred, never be rude! Being rude is weak.

Merlin: How are you Frik?

Frik: Over-worked and under-paid, how terribly sweet of you to inquire.

Merlin: It's a lovely story. And so are you.

Merlin: Oh, they hurt... memories. Memories of love, they hurt. Our world was tearing tiself to pieces and I didn't care. Those were truly the happiest days of my life.

King Uther Pendragon: Do you know what love is Merlin?

Merlin: Yes Uther, sad to say, I know what love is.

Merlin: Things fall apart, they say. Uther had betrayed me, killed Cornwall. But then, I'd betrayed Igraine by helping Uther seduce her. So the wheel of life turns - one betrayal leads to another and another. The innocent die. It haunted me for the rest of my life.

Merlin: A reputation is like glass, once cracked it can never be replaced.

Merlin: You'll always be beautiful to me.

Nimue: To be closer to my God.

Merlin: The closer you are to him, the farther you are from me.

Merlin: I was his tutor. I didn't teach him magic. I taught him ethics and morals. It is much more difficult, believe me.

Ambrosia: [to Queen Mab] You are so cold! If I would punch you in the heart I'd break my fist.

Queen Mab: I'm glad to see you haven't lost all the skills I taught you...

Merlin: I've lost none of them. And it was Frik who taught me!

Queen Mab: Don't mention that ingrate! He left my employment... without a reference!

King Constant: Let the whole world die, if I die...

Queen Mab: You... you don't believe in anything.

Vortigern: I believe in me.

Queen Mab: That's not enough to make us win.

Mordred: Oh, I'm hurt, here, in my heart. Not usually my most vulnerable spot. I recognize you, Father.

Mordred: She sleeps alone at last. One day she was laughing, smiling, the next, gone like a summer breeze in the midst of life, etc, etc, etc, and so on and so forth.
