Awe
Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them.
Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much and they still love deeply.
They still care.
Sometimes it is the people who have been hurt the most who refused to be hardened in this world because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt.
If that isn’t something to be in awe of.
I don’t know what is.

The True Value of Wrestling
Wrestling is not about beating your opponent.
It is about beating you.
It is about continually pushing yourself to new heights.
To never be content with what you have done in the past.
To always strive to improve yourself, regardless of the outcome.
Every match has a purpose.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn.
It’s not the wins that are most valuable.
Each outcome will provide valuable lessons and experience, which will be needed to achieve ultimate success.
A win will build confidence.
And a loss will produce desire.
It is that desire that makes champions.
In every loss, there is a lesson that you need to learn.
And, one by one, when you learn the lessons they will all come together not only to make you a champion,
But more importantly,
They will make you a man.

Happy Birthday Young Lady
It takes sadness to know what happiness is.
Noise to appreciate silence.
Absence to value presence.
It takes you,
For me,
To truly know, value and love life.

I Am Not of This World
I am not of this world.
I haven’t been for a while.
Since life’s events cruelly knocked me off my axis.
So, I thought.
I used to run with all my might.
But travelled nowhere.
Now, in stillness and solitude I travel limitless within my soul.
For that I am grateful.
The life events I originally thought knocked me uncontrollably off my axis catapulted me into unknowable serenity.
And here, I will build again.
With my soul as my womb.
And infinity as my aim.
Be Grateful for the Opportunity to Solve Ones Problems

The most important thing one can do before ones feet hit the floor each day is to be grateful for the opportunity to solve ones problems –
And the realization that there will be more problems to solve tomorrow.
And to find happiness within this.
