The Circle (Round and round we go): Smile =) because you can and you choose too

Wow...it's been a LOOOONG time since i've posted last. It's time for me my thoughts to grasp...Seize them now and see them in full throttle.

I am in a weird mood...ponderous, and fully in the realm of my mind yet full of energy and ready to spring into action. I feel optimistic about the future...satisfied with the past and fully engaged in the present.

I feel flow. I also feel like I'm stuck in a cycle...which is not necessarily a bad thing...Life is wondrous and life has it's depths of yearning and misery...however it seems to me that the pattern of life is cyclical and pervading throughout it is a thin film of optimism, hope and dreams about to be grasped. I feel that in spite of it all --all the heartache, all the apathy, all the dark nights of the soul--if you sum up life and spell out the gist-- it ends up being a beautiful, exciting opportunity and a grand adventure. I think that we must choose to make life though.

Choose beauty....resist ugliness.

Let your creativity bubble and let your smile brim over and inspire those around you and encourage yourself.

I'm taking the GRE tomorrow. How do I feel about it?? O feel: whatever. Do my best; be satisfied and leave the rest up to...the rest.

People...people are "good monsters." And we should not judge the good in the monsters because we are all "good monsters." If you look close enough at someone's eyes you can see the potential for something beautiful to blossom out of the most seemingly, at-first-glance, darkest soul.

Who knows what the future holds. Who knows the inner workings of our mind and how our souls choose and move? We can't know that. But what we can do is simple yet profound. Enjoy. Become an aesthete. Get into the flow when you play a game of tennis. Sing loudly and passionately and dance panegyrically. Take risks when your fearful and timid. Interrupt what you're doing and have a good conversation with a friend. Stand up to your boss and tell him he's way out of line.

Smile because you can and you choose to. =)
