Calm...

Calm is Confident. You can see it in the way a Tiger calmly and carefully stealths its way to its prey, and pounces only when it is close enough to land the kill. You can see it in the way an Eagle soars gracefully before angling itself just right to dive towards its prey, after calmly spotting it from up high first. You can also see it in the way the Earth itself turns, at her own sweet pace, calm and confident, thus ensuring all life on the planet is made possible.

Empowered...

Empowered people create situations to create empowered people.

Trouble...

A drunk fly flew right up to a spider one day and bit it. The spider turned and said to the fly, "Am I joke to you?" to which the fly replied, "Depends. Are you kidding?" Later that night the spider slept on a full belly while the fly was nowhere to be found. When you go looking for trouble, trouble will find you.

Proverb...

When the feet are warm, the brain thinks clearly.

Books...

Red Flag Opinion: Books are for people with too much time on their hands.

Gold Flag Correction: Books are for people who want 'Time Travel' in their hands.

2 Types of People...

Laughter is meant to be shared, it is so pure. Laughing with family, friends, your pets even… Ah, such a fine feeling it is, to share and spread laughter. I can't imagine anyone laughing alone and not having someone special with whom to share such moments.

...

I just wanna stand on a dramatically high vantage point and let loose a diabolical villain laugh that makes everyone cower and pray for hope. Thunder and lightning included, maybe even a bunch of Valkyries or warriors on mecha-flight devices flying all round, ready to follow my commands. "MUHAHAHAHAHA!" Will never share this laugh, it is all mine, MINE, my precioussss 'spotlight laugh'… Hey, get out of my spotlight… "MUHAHAHAHAHA!"

In Character...

If you find yourself no longer in need of a cab or bike that you booked through an app, just pick up the phone when the driver calls and say in terrible broken Spanish, "No abla la Englees. Abla no pa vamanos." Repeat verbatim if needed. They will cancel your ride out of sheer frustration and save you the penalty fee. If your driver happens to respond in fluent Spanish, shift seamlessly to French or Chinese, perhaps German or Arabic. Throw them off the scent. If your driver fluently responds to you in one or all of those languages, just ask them, "What the heck are you doing working this job?! You're gifted! Have you tried LinkedIn?" Then you will be busted coz you just spoke fluent English and gave away the whole game. So go ahead, cancel your ride like a responsible customer, and pay the penalty for not being able to stay in character.

Lost...

The phrase 'knowledge is light' might have a dark side. So much knowledge has been burned over the centuries – books to scrolls, wisdoms and traditions, now long gone. Perhaps only fire and flame know what humankind has lost forever. Maybe someday, the ancient knowledge they murdered, and the timeless truths they immolated, may reincarnate in someone's mind somewhere, and be born again among us. Like the promise of dawn shedding the despairing darkness and enlightening the world.

Instagram...

Instagram and Life seem to have something in common. Insta's algorithm shares posts from those accounts you routinely like or check. It also shares posts and accounts similar to your preferred online choices. all you had to do was 'heart' something. Life, and the everyday, does much the same. giving you more of what you like, want, or desire. The more you 'heart' the right people and situations, that's what comes your way. Call it manifestation or law of attraction. it's real but invisible – like air and gravity. Mark Zuckerberg has stolen some quality codes in his life, but when it came to Instagram I think he stole from God.

Either Way...

A single twig is easier to break.
A bundle of twigs is easier to burn.
