how interesting...
Life continues to amaze me. When I think I'm wrong, I'm right. When I think I'm right, I'm wrong. And recently when I've thought I was right, I was really right and didn't even know how much so. Glad I just went with the gut feeling and not with my racing thoughts.
Someone once asked me what do I love? I think their answer was unicorns or something like that. It just had to be something that you just really really love. I said penguins for lack of anything better, but I've realized it now (though I have in the past as well): one on one conversations.
See, I think a lot. In fact, one of my favorite things to do in the world is to think. Just sit and think. But sometimes it's maddening because all I have is myself and I can fool myself. That's why sometimes I sit on the floor for literally an hour and just drop metal objects on it over and over so I can hear them and not everything else in my head. That's also why I love talking to people one on one. Because they don't fool me. I see their facial expressions, and become aware of the absurdity of some of my own thoughts. No, I'm not saying other people are always right. In fact, lots and lots and lots of times they are wrong, especially with regards to my life and how I live it. But regardless of this fact, they make me realize things about myself. And of course I do have those special people that listen to me AND understand me AND sometimes know me better than I know me. You all know who you are. Thank you.
On another tip: you know the quote from Baha'u'llah that says: "The best of men are they that earn a livelihood by their calling..."
I was thinking about this recently, and though I have expressed several times how true I believe this to be (and my prior thoughts that everyone would just be an artist, and how that thought was repeatedly disproved), I had a new thought.
If everyone abided by this, Hitler would have been a painter.
In the words of hip-hop artist Intense: If you really want it, need to have it, you gotta get it, then go for it. Do what make you happy, give it all you got, cuz either you gon' be successful man, or you not."
P.S. The Intense link goes to a free listening of the whole song.
P.P.S. I'm happy. And there is someone who is the direct cause of this.
