Imagination

Dreams are a gateway to your imagination. When you sleep, climb inside your subconscious and seek new paths to colors and sounds and intensities. Participate, don't spectate, and be amazed at what you can do. Fly through new universes and explore worlds never seen. Dreams are adventures you can take while your body regenerates from the previous day's challenges. And if you have insomnia, you can read a newspaper.

Perspective

When I have a crappy day, I'll happily remember that I've been granted another day on this earth. My eyes can see, my ears can hear, my legs can wallk, and my hands can work. And the sweat that poured out of me today was a confirmation of life itself. And when I get sad knowing I've lost my sense of smell, I'll rejoice in the fact that I can't smell anyone else's confirmation of life itself.

The Lessons

Though the quantity of life's decisions may overwhelm you, just know that the inevitable failures will produce learning opportunities. Which means by the time you fail 4th grade for the 3rd time, you'll be brilliant and well rounded.

Missed Opportunities

Many who fear the unknown will never know bliss. They will never see the beautiful stream that lies at the end of a long trail. They will never find the rewards of mutual trust and the depth of love that trust brings. They will never grow beyond their self-constructed walls. They will never know the rush of jumping out of an airplane and soiling one’s jumpsuit at 15,000 feet.

Right or Wrong or Something

Everyone must look deep inside their heart to find the answers. For inside the heart beats the knowledge of all those who have come before, and the voices from the past will lead us to a place of calm enlightenment. Inside there will be voices, both right and wrong, and the heart will point the way to that which is correct. Which is a little problematic for sociopaths.

Greet the Day

The sun rises, and billions rise to greet the new day. A new day brings new wonder. It brings challenges. It brings many things to you, and you must handle these things with a sense of peace, grace, and an acknowledgement that this new morning is a gift. So acknowledge me a coffee and a bagel.

The Universe (part 1)

The universe is yours to explore. A harmony of dark and light, a gift for your eyes, and a door for your mind. It is mystery and beauty coexisting in a oneness so vast, it can easily take your breath away. After all, it is a vacuum.
