Towards Lower Guards

Published on October 31, 2021

People generally move through life with their guard up.

They know what it’s like to be hit and shell themselves from the possibility of getting hit again.

Acting in hate, anger, rage only reinforces this fear and makes the world a harder place.

For them; for you; for all of us.

What we need is more people who can act in love, patience, and compassion.

People who can prove to us that we don’t always need to have our guard up so high.

People who can help soften the texture of this otherwise hard, hard world.

You Don’t Win By Joining The Opposing Team

Published on October 30, 2021

The best way to beat a liar is to not be like one.

The best way to beat a cheater is to not be like one.

The best way to beat a bully is to not be like one.

For as soon as you act like one, you’ve become one.

And to have become one is to have joined forces with the opposing team.

The Byproduct Of Choice

Published on October 29, 2021

If you want to be beautiful don’t make ugly choices.

If you want to be excellent don’t make average choices.

If you want to be a professional don’t make amateur choices.

Identify who you want to become and align your choices accordingly.

Worth noting: intent, goals, aspirations, dreams, desires—all have nothing to do with it.

We are a byproduct of our choices. Nothing more and nothing less.

First, Work Hard.

Work hard to become your best.

Become your best so you can give your best.

Give your best so you can bring out the best in others.

And when you bring out the best in others you’ll want to keep working hard.

The Vicious Circle

Published on October 26, 2021

We instinctually want what we don’t have.

This is true even for those who already have what we want.

It’s one big circle of everybody wanting everybody else’s stuff.

You want mine; I want yours; we want theirs; they want ours.

Until we decide that what we have is what we want.

It’s only then that we may finally break the vicious circle.

Gas-Guzzling Thoughts

Published on October 25, 2021

Various thoughts consume various amounts of mental energy.

Deep, intense, painful thoughts consume a lot.

Superficial, light, fleeting thoughts consume a little.

If you don’t deal with the gas-guzzling thoughts, you’ll be left feeling constantly exhausted.

And, maybe better put, if you constantly feel exhausted, maybe it’s precisely because you haven’t dealt with the gas-guzzling thoughts.
