Don't force things to happen. you can work towards things and keep yourself open to things, people, and opportunities, but you can't and shouldn't try to control everything. also, if you haven't noticed so far, i think sleep is really important.

Sleep Opportunity Thinking

More From Lisa Loeb

I'm a recording artist who's traveled around the world so i have different opportunities than other people and people may decide how i should use my opportunities because my opportunities are public whereas i can't decide how people should use their opportunities because their opportunities are private. that's what we're dealing with - people feeling like they should be able to control celebrities.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Attitude Optimistic Expression
Go back, go back to sleep. yes, you are allowed. you who have no love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. the power of love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. i have been burnt by the fire of love. you who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. the path of love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. i have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. you who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.

If the white man can come here uneducated and as an immigrant, and within 10 or 15 years set up an industry that provides job opportunities and educational opportunities for black people, then if the black man, the black leadership, who has access to all of this money and has all of these degrees today, can't use his talent and his know-how to set up business opportunities, job opportunities, housing opportunities for the black people the same as the white leaders have done for white people, then these black leaders need to get off the boat.

We cheated, you and me, and someone noticed. i noticed you; someone else noticed me. it hurts us. that's not so bad. so many people cheat. everywhere on every level. everyone's cheated. i'm just saying that you don't need to see yourself as a cheater. because that's not who you are. you're someone who cheated. there's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be.
Hurt Growing Up Cheater
Now what kind of an attitude is that, 'these things happen?' they only happen because this whole country is just full of people who, when these things happen, they just say, 'these things happen,' and that's why they happen! we gotta have control of what happens to us.

You know, you work hard but play by the rules, you can rise. you can do well. that's what we're taught. that's what we believe. that's what we think of as america. problem is, there are just generations of people in this country who do not think that.

Ukraine is the closest country to us. we have always said that ukraine is our sister country and it is true. it is not just a slavic people, it is the closest people to russia: we have similar languages, culture, common history, religion etc.

I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. in time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. in time of "clear and present danger," the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the first amendment must yield to the public's need for national security.
