The greatest hindrance to personal growth…
The greatest hindrance to personal growth is refusing to accept one’s limitations.
Money is a dangerous religion
Ignorance and the seeker
Beaming information at people through the internet does not appear to have made societies wiser, on the contrary, as more tweets and information is transmitted through the airways the more ignorance grows.
Humans only learn when they are motivated to better themselves. When there is no desire to learn it’s counterproductive to expose information to the masses as it is misunderstood or taken out of context, thus creating chaos as we have seen lately.

Living many lives…
Would I want to change my life for a 9 to 5 job, just to be secure?
As strange as it may sound to normal people, if indeed there is such a concept, I much rather have gone through the failures and the successes, in between, than having lived no life at all!
Yes, it can be hard to walk down the trail that has no footprints, but it teaches us so much every time we explore new avenues.
The penalty for job security is a closed mind, whereas, the penalty we pay for exploring and testing our limits are mental bruises and often socially awkward social situations. But I rather have the latter.
Getting going, one more time
Getting up in the morning can be tough when life continuously hits us with new surprises. How long do we need to pay for our past mistakes?
It is becoming an art to reprogram the mind each day with positive new twists to trick it into thinking this can be a good day… and hopefully, this day will be it!
I have been saying to myself, “things can’t get any worse” That was a few years ago…
I will keep at it with the best frame of mind I can wear today. The lesson this has taught me is that we have an amazing ability to hang on if we can get going, just one more day…
