one of the hardest things about life is keeping my integrity. things are going so well and it seems as success and praise comes, there is a stronger pull from the world and friends and everyone involved in my life, directly and indirectly - it is so much easier to get sucked into that type of praise, that outer fullfillment and then live each day in an attempt to gain more or at least keep the bar up. but i am the same person i was years ago. i mean, deep down i am just a loving human being who loves to play music and connect with people. success does not change that and it never should. the ease of forgetting oneself in external fulfillment astounds me, but it never reaches the height of fulfillment that manifests from just being........just loving.............just expressing, honestly and naturally.
