ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

I got this matter with you.. I know as well that a plenty of you would see me leave the site since a lot of time; is clear and confirmed by your gestures.
I wonder what is wrong with me if you totally refuse to have to do with me.
Have I talk against you? No.
Have I done of wrong to some of you? I dont think.
But all is up to you.

If you want, I bet that nobody will speak here why this not welcome about mer in this board. Because am I a foreign? Have you prejudices against me or the Italian?
I give you a couple of choices, or reply me here. or send me a pm if you dont dare to post your whys. I feel it since long long time. I wont feel uncomfortable on the board. At the beginning all was good.. but had I lost the path and the relantionship with you? I'd always thought that the Rolling Stones' community are the best one can find. Now dont tell me I'm wrong.

Your Girl With The Faraway Eyes beyond the ocean

you should post more and stay awhile.

1. Give up your need to always be right

There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

2. Give up your need for control

Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu

3. Give up on blame

Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk

Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle

5. Give up your limiting beliefs

about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!

“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

6. Give up complaining

Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

7. Give up the luxury of criticism

Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

8. Give up your need to impress others

Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

9. Give up your resistance to change

Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” Joseph Campbell

10. Give up labels

Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer

11. Give up on your fears

Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

12. Give up your excuses

Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

13. Give up the past

I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.

14. Give up attachment

This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another, attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations

Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves. You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

oh, you! you're just overreacting. we all love reading our daily "what's going on in lantern's head" thread.

however, we do hate the foreigner here. can you blame us?

You worry too much.

Exactly, take it easy.

There is a saying in Spanish, "No soy monedita de oro, para caerle bien a todo mundo."

ITALIAN TRANSLATION: "Io non sono una moneta d'oro per essere apprezzato in tutto il mondo."

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: "I am not a gold coin for the whole world to like me."

In other words, not everyone is going to like you. But, that is okay.

P.S. I love Italy. I love the food, the wine, the music, the movies, the language, the country, everything!

I dont know anyone who has ever suggested or even implied that. :-?

You shouldnt take the lack of 'chat' on this forum - as opposed to news stuff - as something personal.

Most people dont use this place primarily as a way of 'getting to know' other fans. There's nothing wrong with people doing that, but its just the way it is.

Have I missed something again........I for one love hearing from the other side of the pond, I think it's great we got fans here for the Stones from all parts of the world. I brag at work all the time I got buddies in Australia, Germany, Mexico, North Carolina, ETC.
No problem here............I love this place....now blow out the candles. :smilestu

The Stones are Universal....we may argue and get after each other from time to time..but we close ranks when it comes to our band. You are a welcome addition here and I have not noticed any prejudice. Grab a drink and put Exile on.....makes life worth living my dear....

Why not? you northern Georgians are awesome...

Who are you talking to, LanternHigh? Let's cut to the chase.

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Actually the girl with Far Away Eyes is the type of girl who waits for a man in a bar even when he's tragically late (Being always late myself, tragically late means you are about 3 or 4 hours late) and she doesnt give him a hard time about it, in fact she is most acomodating to his needs. That's a compliment, not an insult.
