Proper Perspective

You can't reach your goals
with someone else's vision,
so it stands to reason that 
using other people's lives as
a barometer for success will
not assist you in getting what
is uniquely yours.

Comparisons serve no purpose
except to distract from your own
life and path, and thus draw crucial
energy and attention away from
doing what's necessary for you.

In order to respect my own 
path, I am present in each moment 
as the person I am intended to be.
That means seeking truth from
within, not using the world as
a yardstick of 'success.'

It Is What It Is

 
Don't get distracted by the specifics and
the minutia of negatives and dead-ends;
the world is full of people who are interested in
you not reaching your goals, either by
actively and viciously thwarting you,
or by passively and apathetically refusing
to assist or support you.
 
Let it be.
 
Resentment and anger over lack of faith,
betrayals, getting jammed up, lies,
character assassination, upset over injustice,
fighting off specific mischaracterization and libel,
and all the rest is just an ENDLESS, tiresome
game that can never be won.
 
And if you're spending your time recounting
all the shitty people of the world, you won't have
 any time left to fulfill your dreams.
 
So, keep your eyes on the prize.
Don't be distracted by the gutter trash or
present circumstance.
Don't take on the doubts of others.

Have enough faith and belief in yourself
to make up for all the world.
And keep. on. moving. forward.
No matter what.

The Real Secret


Just be rich and mostly white...
...and EVERYTHING will be all right!

In America, you can get away
with murder with creds like that!

Go With the Flow


Pain and struggle
are part and parcel
of this boondoggle.

Make peace with it
and push through.
