Soul Incredible
Everything is actually quite okay. Beyond okay... Closeness. How can I say anything but thank you and offer praise for all that is going well with me. I guess, this is what fourth an inches feels like. In football, fourth down is your team's final possession prior to turning the ball over to the other team on downs. At, "fourth and inches" going for it is a wise move, especially with the game on the line.
Going for it... My applications are in and the players are suited up for success. To my readers out there... who from a recent facebook posting are REALLY there, even if they don't make comments- I must mention to you all the song Soul Incredible by Small Eyez (w/ antonio dye), produced by Nicolay.
For a while I wasn't sure how I'd make use of this very feel-good song. But, tonight after waking up to some strange dreams, it was right there with the perfect 2:30 am vibe to keep me cool and speak to me of how well I'm doing in spite of at times being my own worst friend. I am so, incredible. we must constantly tell ourselves that. and believe it....believe me, keepin this on the humble too is not an easy task. daunting, but vital to your survival, we must constantly speak life to ourselves while maintaining the veneer of humility and child-like meekness. Somehow, it all blends perfect... at least for me, it brings peace. And how wonderful is peace?!
Have you ever tainted love with a lie? lies plant seeds of doubt and nothing good can come from such trees. you must be extraordinarily careful not to plant --seeds.
there are forces outside of you that will do their part to water and cultivate the fruit from such trees... and soon enough, that one lie has become like Kudzu... or those poisonous plants in Jumanji.
And now for an interlude:
From Jumanji (1995)
Peter Shepherd: [in horror] Judy!
Judy Shepherd: What?
Sarah Whittle: What happened?
Peter Shepherd: I thought I could end the game myself. I was only ten spaces away.
Judy Shepherd: [reading the sign on the board] 'A law of Jumanji having been broken, you will slip back even more than your token'.
Sarah Whittle: You tried to cheat?
Peter Shepherd: No, I tried to drop the dice so they'd land on twelve.
Sarah Whittle: Oh, okay, honey. Well that would be cheating.
Judy Shepherd: [in terror] Peter, your hands! Look at your hands!
[Peter sees that he is growing monkey fur on his hands as a punishment for cheating]
There are repercussions for trying to control too many elements of this game we call, life. Taken completely seriously, we have got to be our most Incredible selves and project that energy and focus because you never know who is watching...
so, don't let the title of my last blog fool ya in the words of Robert Nesta Marley on Three little birds, "Don't worry, about a thing, cuz every little thing, gonna be alright!" Signing off for more sleep

Flawed as H-LL
Imperfection. My weaknesses define me as much as my celebrated sense of humility, meekness, and vibrancy. At this stage I equate learning and personal growth as the freshest thing in the pot. Immen, king kong and got -ish on my progress, and when we fall we learn how to leap and how to appreciate smooth footsteps. With this wisdom comes the great responsibility of mastering my glow and my shadow.
Beings of both yin and yang, light and dark, positive and negative,constructive and destructive energy must attain balance prior to mastering their chi, or life force. I have decided to, "use my powers for good," like the Wondaland Arts Society. On the lo, I'm walking with thriving giants in the PT world. As I learn to perform my job better with each incident, both positive and negative (mostly +), I've learned to maintain my face in the moment of correction.
As an extension, tough situations if viewed through an appropriate lense make you better. However, it isn't easy to embrace the changes you must personally go through in order to emerge stronger. You may get rejected, kicked while you're down, spat upon, jeered, and taunted. The manner one reacts in the heat of these situations and how one is able to evolve after this process marks growth and development. It also, opens you as a seeker of love in all situations. If you can understand the "tough" aspects of love, you may be on the way to repairing a relationship once plagued with confusion.
If you are struggling with overly-anything superiors (bosses, parents, friends, siblings, etc)... it my take time for you to appreciate the grindstone they seem to hold your face to. But, if you can weather the storm of growth, you may be able to impart grace in your leadership roles and make the process less abrasive yet, no less REAL to your students/children.
Flaws, we all have them. master and embrace yours to shine! observe flaw in others and appreciate yourself... and in wisdom try not to make someone else's flaws your own. keep traveling space cadets, time is on your side...it can get worse, but as stated, its about the growing out of struggle that defines your tomorrow...
gloriously,
I'm on that old Kanye-to-tha, "look at the valedictorian,scared of the future, while I hop in the Delorean..."
-nice!
