My evolution has reached its stride
We fall in and out of rhythm with ourselves and our excellence
It doesn’t happen overnight but with commitment and choice we discover greatness within
Like a garden it requires constant attention and care
Evolution is about accepting our deficiencies and consciously improving insofar as what we can physically control
Certain things are out of our control — predetermined if you will
Maybe for a reason, maybe not
Too many prefer blissful ignorance when it comes to acknowledging their shortcomings
A good man is self-aware of his goodness without drowning himself and others in it
A good man makes mistakes and not only learns from them but goes out of his way to help others benefit from them as well
I believe it is in us to want to help
Some, more than others
But it is there, deep within our genetic code
But before we can best help others we must help ourselves find ourselves in our actions
Every man needs a code
There comes a point when we trust our intuition over and above all things
Intuition is an interesting thing
A strong sense of feeling grounded in logic — at least for me
I used to exhaust resources fighting my self — it was inefficient
Discover your current and swim with it no matter where it takes you
If you don’t like where you end up there are other means of travel
The only end that is certain is death
Everything else is in our control until we choose to relinquish that control
For some, that means having children, or buying a house, or being a slave to a desk
We can be all things but we’re just better at some
When I think back over my life I imagine I’ll just smile
I imagine in my final days I will assemble a soundtrack for my story
But in addition to songs it will have people and places, love and adventures that compile my greatest hits
And the most I could hope for is that all the people I love have a chance to come together and rejoice, laugh and dance while listening to my soundtrack once I pass
Because if we can unite a community of this world that truly loves and accepts one another and lives to leave a better way for those to come tomorrow — well then there’s really nothing else
We will write our best ideas down on paper but really every idea was someone else’s idea before
So without the chance of being original we ought to just enjoy the earth
The sun, the stars, the moon and the ocean
The beautiful women and the most delicious wine
The finest beer and the most luscious fruit
And most of all, the music and the people we love and hope sing and dance whenever it is that our time runs out, because when they remember us at the very least they are left with a smile, and maybe even a tear down their cheek.
