What are we OK with? What works for us? What if we can’t find it? Is there a way to just be fine with that? I ask these questions today and talk about how I feel about it all and where it has brought me now. Also big announcements for Breathe and Bounce as well.
HIGHLIGHTS
You are not the same way every day. But on that regard, you have to find the things that make you happy. You have to find the things that make you want to do, you know, all the good stuff. You have to find those things. That’s part of the journey, right? You know, we hear about the journey. Everyone talks about that journey. Well, it is a fucking journey. Unfortunately, it’s like a fucking marathon, you know. That’s something my mentor said to me, and then Ice Cube said it in a much more vulgar way. Life’s not a track meet; it’s a marathon. Those words were said to me by my mentor, verbatim, and then about five years later, I heard Ice Cube quote them in a song. And it’s true.
And sometimes the ego wants us to be right, but does it matter if we’re right? At the end, what does that do for the Santosha? What does that do for the contentment? It does nothing. It pulls you away from it, actually. So contentment is not something that just happens. It’s something you have to work at, especially if you have been living life for like 40, 5060, years a different way to have to reset the clock and start over from scratch. That’s a lot of work, and the end result will be beautiful. Because I’m telling you this. Every day in my life, I start to feel a little bit more okay, and I don’t want to fight, and I don’t want to be an asshole because I’ve historically been an asshole to people, I have because of my ego, because of my fragile skin, because of my needing to be right. I don’t need to be right anymore. If I know I’m right, that’s okay. If someone else wants to believe I’m wrong, then fuck it
So we come to this point where we think we know everything, right? Because we’re so smart, we’re so fucking capable, and all that other shit. But the truth of the matter is, maybe we don’t know as much as we did. Now you know. Maybe we needed have a little help. I think one thing that traps us-one of those little bear traps we walk into. Is the opinion of others, the opinion of what people think of us, that validates ourselves, and I think we search for that.
