“Doing your best
is more important than
being the best.”
When you do your best,
you have a real feeling of achievement.
You feel good about yourself
and this builds up your self-confidence.
There is a deeper motivation
behind ‘doing your best’
because you come to appreciate
what you have done.
You see that all of that hard work
was your doing
and you then focus
on the new skills that ‘you’ have developed.
We come to flourish
in our own pathways
and we become enriched
in our own abilities.
There is nothing wrong with
‘being the best’
but it can be very shallow.
By ‘doing our best’,
we are becoming stronger
in our hold on life
and we learn to have a deeper understanding
of the world we live in.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

The mind is not something that can be forged.
It must be built and cared for – how a carpenter tends to the wood framing of a house. A sturdy mind is formed from the blessings of its own destruction. As has always been known, a system must first be deconstructed to determine how it works. Take your life and love and throw them away, for their use shall naught disturb others. As you are deconstructed and summoned upon the throne of self- realization/self-actualization. You will come into your own, your eyes have not frozen over yet. There is time for you. There will always be time for you. This peace will not war with your soul forever. You must face the burden. Damn the keys and break the gate. Your destruction is here. It is near. It is always, unending, Abraxis in both.
