Hungry Souls

In a world full of right nows, aka, the microwave generation, I simply don't fit in. Granted, I'm always yearning for instant gratification. However,  I'm fully aware of the marathon it takes for most successes. Notice, most... being that I am also fully aware of the instant!

There's a temperament of, who cares about what I need when I can get what I want. What you want is there, right there! However,  your wants could most certainly block your needs. It falls into morals also. One can say, you know what, screw the consequences, this is for the now. (YOLO) The very entrance to this thoughts was, screw the consequences.

Me, I'm 1 that believes a fool learns from his own mistakes and a wise man from others. I truly believe that, it makes sense! Yet, I've also always said, I am the fool of fools. I simply like to experience it. I've grown wise in my experiences. I'm able to chameleonize; learn, expand... grow!

I take my time and decide what is worth the chance. Sometimes,  due to change and chance, I double back. Often times, that double back does nothing more than reiterate that the path is a no go. The lesson was learned, but I needed that jog- down memory lane. This too is a necessity. Roads less traveled are often forgotten. So I, at times, need to suffer the same lesson to remind me how to approach the more difficult tasks.

I do me, literally. I listen, and at times stutter step, but ultimately I take my own steps based off of my own logic. I've failed, but more times than not, I prevail. Based on that alone, so many are against me. Maybe that's a harsh choice of words, but its definitely a level of envy. They wish they could or did... they thought I wouldn't get here, stay here. Theres always doubt, especially if the vision isn't shared. You have a vision? The best advice I'd give is just pursue it. If you feel the need to bounce an idea off of anyone, make it a stranger. First off, that will keep you creative,  most importantly, the feed back is non bias, clear and most times honest. However,  the absolute,.most important factor is... the vision is yours!! There may be no one who sees your vision, keep going. For the sake of you, a new path, and others who may follow...  KEEP GOING!

I'm not a motivational speaker, and I dont want to be. However, I know in life there is a cycle of infect and affect. My only goal is to share an experience for all the wise (wo)men out there. Maybe even persuade a few fools as myself. Don't be a microwave... get some old school, oven on °325... wait, how about having dying coals, food taking 9 hours to cook type of flow. No rush, no comparison,  just pure focus on the outcome that will feed souls, not just belly's. Nothing temporary,  yet alleverlasting.. a true energy. Energy never dies, ever! Put out the best energy. Move forward with purpose... YOU, you are the purpose. There is something in you no one else has. My favorite phrase, TAP IN! Tap into self.. tap into your own reality.

That 1 thing that's you have, no one else has, is the key to the next phase. You holding back is not just a disservice to you, it's a disservice to those before you,who were your key, and those after you are holding the key from. We are all linked. What I have someone needs and vice versa. Go forth boldly, and acknowledge your importance to the cycle.

Everyone knows, there's no sun without rain, good with out bad, joy without pain... life without death. Balance. Even if you alone aren't at balance, there's a key out there, it will help balance you, lead you. You must learn to beaware of YOUR door. Otherwise your throwing keys, accepting keys wasting time, causing frustration. Know self, be self and love self... then go out and share self... accept the sharing of other selves. Give and receive.

I always give, because I can give and go. I was in a rush to get where I had no clue I was going. No receiving, just dropping and and flying on my way. Realizing I had less to give, I look back for a trail of all the giving so I could find my way back. I'd been zipping along so fast, I'd lost my way and I was empty. It wasn't until I slowed down, got back to me, found the balance, allowed myself to receive.... took years and I'm still not there. I can give again. I feel the rewards again. I'm happy and me again.

I have these days where I take account and think I'm still so far behind. On whose time tho. What is time even? What's considered behind? Then I look deeper, sit back and look at the dead coals but food still smoking. It's just about done, and I'm just getting hungry. It's enough here to feed an army, we all good. Not only i eat tonight, we all eat tonight. Not only tonight, but I know what to do tomorrow. I could use a microwave, but to slow it down, show some skills, share some recipes, receive some tips.. then not only do we beat no meal, with a hot meal, this meal is that home cooked, full flavored, eyes bigger than the gut meal. Now, let's eat like no other!
