Ego. Bravado. We all are challenged by these 2 things.
And it’s really funny. On the divine scales of measure…how much weight these 2 things have does not matter…not even in the slightest. They just don’t count. They are not present in E=mc^2 and they truly take away from who we truly are. These 2 things are very loud in the mind…and often very childish.
As many of us know… Each moment in Life is a gift. That’s why we call it the “Present” time because it is indeed that..a present. The gift of life is precious and becomes more rewarding with the attributes of patience, forgiveness, love and a few others (IMHO).
After learning so much in 3+ decades. I still feel…and revisit the point that I really don’t know so much. I have a very long way to go. Regardless of how many books I run through, I can get a general sense of things but still have so much to learn. And how much can we learn in 1 lifetime…really? Learning keeps the mind very strong and helps with mental flexibility. I encourage learning as much as possible …and the application of what we’ve learned to help others.. of course.. is ideal.
What is real strength?… I’ve found in my existence here…that Strength is in truth, love, kindness, forgiveness, generosity and support.
So I challenge myself everyday to not stray from the aforementioned and push myself to do the “right” thing.
While living here, all of the hardest things to do are the right things to do. They are so impossibly tough to do sometimes….but doing them makes the world a better place. Can we do the tough things to make everyone’s overall experience better…not just our own?
The challenges are remarkably tough. But the ride is indeed fun. To all of the people I’ve met in person that have been able to vibe with me and “get along with me” I am truly grateful for your validation of me. Hopefully you’ve seen me smile, something I’m known to do a lot…and hopefully I’ve made you laugh…or inspired you somehow, or just been there for you when you needed someone to lean on.
I appreciate you more then you will ever realize. Sending love to my friends, fans and family in hopes that my energy helps amplify your internal validation of your own existence, dreams and goals.
Live. Forgive. Love and love some more.
