Success comes only to those who are willing to fight all those who stand in its way of becoming a reality. What "those" things are and how you actually "fight" them represents an amorphous and variegated stack of potential life circumstances and responses. In simpler English: there's no telling what shit will hit or how you'll act in the face of said shitstorm. Just know your only chance at success is to constructively bear the onslaught OK. So I've been up many hours, solving many complex problems, and the Muse is heaving a weightier than normal vocabulary set into my fingertips as I go. That's where this long day's onslaught has deposited my mind. Long 2 weeks, really The building, polishing, and strategic planning mixed with the effort of integrating it all into something usable for my visitors can take its toll on my ability to govern my creativity. I believe that that sentence above just proved that. And that's what my Mess of Success looks like sometimes. I get spun But unlike back in the bipolar days it's an acceptable spinning. The point of all this end of day rambling is this: be willing to push, bend, reach, fail, and hurt all it takes to get your "thing" off the ground because that what it takes to succeed. The cool thing is, if you're tough enough in mind, body and spirit you'll find it takes very little to get yourself to the head of your particular herd. Then they'll all be following you. From there, sky's the limit. Now go make something bleed. Subscribe To OJ Podcast!
