Very interesting...

I guess when random "anonymous" readers drop lumps of crap in my garden, the best thing to do is to turn the whole thing into fertilizer.

There is a thing called Karma, that instills the concept that you get what you give in life. Not at the molecular level, but rather at a higher, all -encompassing level. I was pondering earlier on if some people just attracted more love and luck in their lives than others by faith and hard work, or if they were just destined to "be" and no matter what they did, they would succeed.

IMO: life is work, it's hard work. Those who sit back and complain that no matter what they do, they're not lucky in life and in love? Fuck that. Being a victim and hanging onto others for the ride will lead you straight back to nowhere. But the minute you take responsibility for your own life and your own happiness? Bingo - the road opens up and suddenly, you're moving. Things change, you take on a glowing strength, you change and people start noticing how lovely you are - not how lovely the person you're with is.

My dad used to say: "Practice does NOT make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." So many people cannot differentiate the two, and wonder why they never get anywhere in life. Remember that it's ok to sometimes have dark moments, there is no growth without pain... But the only way people can step on you is if you're lying down. Get UP. Get moving. Let go of the past - you cannot capture the wind, it will only caress your face if it WANTS to, and then it moves on.

Be the wind... be better than what you think you can be, and eventually you will BE that better person.

OK - peace, out.
