Fearlessly Individual


As promised, while having some quiet time yesterday I thought about the whole idea and concept of being fearlessly individual. And let me say this, from the outset, the breadth and depth of the human experience is far too involved for me to speak on the matter in one or two postings. But I want to at least give some coverage of the matter.

Fearlessly individual is about owning your own life experiences. Hypothetically speaking, do you like being you? I know that we all have adversity and challenges but intermixed with all of that is something special, and people who are fearlessly individual can create and envision great things out of their life experiences. The movie Catch Me if You Can comes to mind. Why? In this story the actor was everyone else but himself. How fulfilling could that be? But when you can be the main character in your own life, it can be the most enjoyable experience there is.

Now let me clarify lest someone misinterprets*. Other people inspire us, share with us, allow us to celebrate their life and give us ideas for our own life. And that's precisely the point. You don't have to take someone else's life or become someone else; you can be inspired by people to be the best you can be. That's being fearlessly individual. And combine that with others who do the same and you have something awesome!

 Yesterday I was watching an interview on On Demand. It was great. Because the interview was so real, it made me contemplate my own life. This happened several times over and over. That something worth sharing, is what set leaders and successful people apart. They leave you with a light bulb moment something that may reinforce what you were feeling or something altogether new. Whatever it is, it makes a lasting impression that will probably stay with you a long time.

For me, it was the thought, that however important you are, or the thing you do, love and the quality of life you have in your success is the anchor that really makes any success enjoyable. And I would venture to say, that is the case for everyone.

Note: In life we will have all types of experiences some good some bad. But at the end of the day, through, learning, redemption, faith etc... we learn to create hopefully something wonderful- a life we enjoy.

A Nice Breeze and a Bit of Perspective

As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say ...

Beautiful

Isn’t it funny how the innocent things make for lasting memories? That’s when I’m thankful that a little reflection is good on days like today. Not feeling the best and then you remember something that is altogether sweet. Like how sometimes you take, some times you give, but oh how special it is when together we create something hilariously indescribable…sometimes the unexpected happens and you remember just how special it was. And out of it comes something wonderfully funny, unbelievable and yes beautiful. And just how beautiful it is depends on you. So maybe today isn’t that day for you. But when that day or should I say night comes, I don’t know about you, but I plan on making it beautiful. Don’t know what I mean, listen to the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbsjGol-TY Quote of the Day Often times we forget that part of being human is being spiritually grounded, finding your purpose, developing who you are, lending yourself to good works and yes loving and being in...

Thought For The Day

Boldness, is not abrasive, it’s fearless but not abrasive. It’s not about being scared or the absence of concern it’s about having the inner strength to make secure. Men wonder how a woman knows that something is wrong, extremely off- kilter. It’s when you don’t reach out your hand. It’s not about romance it’s about what you know you supply. When you don’t express the words to make it right, the right you know God expects of you. It sends a startling message that either your inner core is troubled or something is terribly wrong. This is not the case for everyone. It’s for those who want to impact, press in and touch the spirit of others. It’s for those bold souls who profess an uncommon love. There’s nothing sadder than the tears of a clown but there’s nothing more tragic than great strength without inner beauty. When you forget to make it right that becomes the building block or foundation of your legacy. So men you want to give a lasting gift this season… give her the gift of alway...
