Favorite Things.

I have spent a lot of time in my life trying to be several things I am not.

What those things are is kind of irrelevant and could create a complication in one understanding my next statement, so I won’t detail them.  I am great at a number of things.  Just about any thing I apply myself to, I achieve “awesome” pretty easily.  So, while I have tried to be several different things, who I am, authentically, is someone who is great at many things.  Being great at something, though, does not mean it is your thing.  Could be just something you need to know, to get to your thing or be effective at your thing.

When it’s your thing, it resonates with you in a way that is impossible to express.

I realize now, I have wanted life to be a much easier stage.  I’d adopt practices of others who were skillful in things and perform them like my own on said stage.  Only to realize that they weren’t my thing.  No.  Realize is the wrong word there.  Accept is the right word.  Only to accept they were not my thing.

At the close of exploring interests in arbitrary things to adopt, I’d always find my way back here:

Back to helping people, strangers, friends — anyone develop themselves and find effective and efficient ways to deliver whatever their lives ought to bring to the world.

Back to composing and communicating information, especially about love, that may be complicated or difficult to accept, in digestible bits.

Back to scribbling blog posts and journal entries that are intimate and thought provoking. with out employing too many personal details.

As a writer I have learned, when it comes to words, the details don’t often matter, the message you communicate does.  So I make my work to deliver a successful message… The details are bonus.  Mere gossip to the actual lesson learned.

I guess the point here is, above anything else I insinuate in this blog post: Life is truly a stage.  And it is best serviced with your best act.  Pick up all the things you can along the way, play with them, but give your own thing the “awesome” it deserves.
