Rules...

"The only rules that really matter are these: What a man can do, and what a man can't do"
-Capt. Jack Sparrow-

I know this may very well get me into trouble, but it seems to me that things are the way they are.

Success happens because of structure; structure exists because of desire; desire is maintained and governed because of rules....are rules truly meant to be broken?

I don't know...but I do know this...

Silence has prompted action. Action into the things that I thought I wanted. More jobs, more class, more commitment, more dating, more money, and ultimately even less time. In the silence I have wrought rules for myself, to govern the things that I desire. Life, smiles, experience, travel, friends, fun, love....

The rules are as follows:

1 - Live like it was your last breath
2 - Never offer what you would never want in return
3 - Invest more than what you would ever think the return will ever be
4 - If you want to be there.....go.
5 - If you want a true friend, become so.
6 - Fun is the perception and view of a current situation, and how you make it out to be.
7 - Love is a state of heart, needing thorough refreshment of all things previous...

Of all rules set to govern the thoughts I maintain, and the actions I pursue, the only ones I have in mind all the time...

.....are rules one and two......

This probably means nothing to anyone, and that's okay. My mind usually ends up meaning nothing to everyone anyway and that's okay too because I am who I am, and no one needs like it except those who choose to. But I thought I would write, because after all that has become of my time, these are the results of my heart....because of that time.

Smiles be with you all...

...God Bless

We have a winner!!!

Two nights ago I went and watched the new Disney/Pixar movie "Up", and I must say....it was an absolute heart warmer!

It becomes the ideal story about dedication, challenges, trials, change, people, attitude, success, life, and most of all....love.

Bent over the element of life that challenges us all, physically, mentally, and emotionally, "UP" builds an attitude that tells us we can do, what we want to do. Though trials may come our directions, forcing us to meet knew people, it becomes more about the nature of our being to see how far those challenges will take us, and how high we are willing to rise in order to test our sense of dedication.

Life it seems, then becomes not only about the measure of success we have, or the accomplishments that we see, but about living life itself. Love should be the most driving force in our world, and the things we see transpire, should be a result of it, and therefore the continuing element that illustrates the change in our world.

This story illustrates what is called "The Circle of the Soul":
-The body is controlled by the mind;
-The mind is guided by the heart;
-The heart learns from the soul;
-The soul lives in the body.

"Up" is truly an incredible movie, and a tear jerker for sure. If even any of you have a question about life and all the amenities that come with it, see this movie, and then re-think the path you walk. :)

God Bless...
