Each moment is so precious... Don't waste one...
Life is so short... and with so many working so hard to deceive and divert your passion and energy into service to their ambitions it's easy to lose your way... It's easy to get herded away from your own journey.
It often seems you're lost in a world of terrorism, economic decay, political deceit... like your feet are caught in the mud and you're trapped... can't get loose.
That feeling comes from the mind games they use to do their herding... Don't let 'em do it! Turn on your selective hearing. Turn off their twisted noise...
...Step outside... climb on your motorcycle and Laugh at the rain!
It takes a making a conscious Internal inventory on a regular basis to catch yourself getting diverted onto one of those misdirected trails. Switch on your PBS Detector... Catch 'em at their game and be a bunch quitter! Separate yourself from those slogging along the trail in an obedient herd. (*PBS Detector - Personal Bull Shit Detector)
Laughter and the sort of Joy that sends the tears streaming down your face under a blue clear sky; walking the beach on a bright morning as sudden four foot surf sends you laughing up onto a drift wood log scrambling to escape... THAT is what life is about. Joy, Unrestrained by guilt trips imposed by soh-sigh-uh-tee is the only justifiable reward for courage, honor, integrity and dignity.
But such joys are expensive. They will cost you effort. They take risk. They take turning against the tide and putting aside convention... It takes courage to win...
But oh Lordy... when they are achieved... When you fall a half dozen times before you finally break out on the crest... They are worth every soul quivering moment of doubt that you fought your way through.
The brightness in your eyes, the sheer joy that fills your lungs is beyond description... It renders you uncontrollable by their BS... and is why they struggle so hard to obstruct.
Security... safety... conformity... Those are synonyms to me... ugly synonyms that stand for Prison, Chains and the flaccid submission of an obedient serf.
I despise the thought of a person living in that world... It rips my heart and soul.
For me, I've found good visuals help an awful lot to catch my balance after all that dreary crap knocks me flat... When I feel lost and adrift... The right vision can blow away the fog of fear the masters trip a guy up with...
Seek out those who grip fear by the throat and laugh...
"Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose to live with no regret."

I've found one of the best ways to reinvigorate my ambition and energy is find some of these young fellas... They can't help but give a wanderer a renewed appreciation for Living Life!
Seek out your inspiration... grab on tight... and hang on for the ride! HooYa!
Then walk to the edge (where ever your edge is)... take a deep, quivering breath... stick your foot out into nothing... and step off! :)
...and then fine... You can blame it on me if people think you're a giggling idiot! :)
Ready for the Next Page...

Yes, life is too short, but, then what? ===Fred===
Well, that tends to depend on how well you lived this one ;)
Can I just say what a aid to search out someone who really knows what theyre talking about on the internet.
Know what you mean, real freedom has to be paid for by risks taken.
Have read your blog for about 9 months now, lots of good info. Hope to meet you on the high lonesome one day.
