Its a bumpy road this life. Those who choose to love us and how react to that love defines us. Will you take it for granted, or be able to return it? I have been a fool in my life. Always searching and reaching for things that may or may not be out of my grasp. The biggest thing I have learned is to appreciate what I have. It's an unfortunate thing in this world that we cannot truly appreciate what we have until it is gone. In a world in which excess defines most people, the simple things truly are the blessing. Life is not about what you can receive but what you can give. To constantly take and take will be your downfall. We must return what is given to us. The simplest non self serving act is truly the way to find greatness in your life. Do not take the little things for granted. Hold onto them because no matter how small it may be, it truly the largest piece of something we are searching for. Be kind and be righteous. Truly learning from your mistakes is the way to be a better person and to truly appreciating what you have. Don't look back, only move forward. Be conscious of your actions and sensitive to those around you. People are fragile in their own ways. Do not break them; for in doing so you will only break yourself. Be happy for what you have.

Chickens And Eggs

The chicken and egg question is circular in nature. We all know that chickens come from eggs, but if there is no chicken to lay the egg, how did the egg get here? If you believe in science, the chicken has always existed. It simply evolved from another species and became a chicken. If you believe in religion, the chicken or the egg was put here by a higher being, but this is not a question about the chicken or the egg. 

Are you the chicken or the egg? Are you fully grown, wise beyond your years and raising and teaching your eggs, or are you the egg, still growing, learning and fascinated with life?

Perception Of Sound

If a tree falls in the forest and you are not there to hear it, did it make a sound? Our ears are very sensitive to vibrations in the air. Those vibrations are sound. Our minds take those sounds and turn them into comprehensible noises or words. If a tree falls, it vibrates the air around it. If there are no ears to pick it up, it didn’t make a sound, or did it? The answer is entirely up to you. How aware are you of your surroundings?
