Serene Days Inspire Me Most

Intricacies are meant to awaken, not dampen the spirits. The human spirit is inspired to grow strong by variances.

Let’s be honest, some days just suck balls. We are roused by thoughts that are less than pleasant, noises that irritate the eardrum, and scenery that confuses the shit out of us. These days we trod along in a sort of daze which ends in, more often than not, a night at the pub, either among individuals who spark the crazy in us, or alone with our perplexed thoughts and that old mate, typically a 40+ percentage volume liquor, stimulating that welcomed burning sensation right down to the gut.

Other days, and these days, although rare in some of us, find us with butterflies in the stomach, the optimism evident, keyed up for the day ahead, knowing that TODAY we’re going to kick ass, in every way possible. Each waking minute is filled with thoughts of improvement, plans for greatness, and the joy that we are alive. We feel encouragement from every angle, and take pride in our minds, bodies and souls.

I propose every day be like the latter, no matter how hard one must work at that positivism. So let’s tell it like it is – no ‘world on the shoulders’, fewer regrets and preferably no grudges. How can we make this life one that leaves legendary legacies for those around us to marvel at once we’re gone? Be YOU. Don’t let the silly things faze you. Keep smiling, laughing, singing, dancing. Keep happy. Keep well. And keep safe. But mostly, don’t let anyone or anything stand in the way of the awesome things you want to do in life.

Surround yourself with sanguinity, with buoyancy and brightness. Deal with the shitty things and then move on. Bask in the beauty that is opportunity. Know that you are capable of anything, and that to know joy, one must know hardship. Be at peace with the inner workings of the universe. Destiny is not a target, but a labyrinth of your own movements; it is what you make it. Your fate is in your own unique hands.

Peace and love. These two simple abstracts make heroes out of men.
