Build within…

Humans, as we’ve evolved over the ages have made some amazing strides. From the discovery of fire to the invention of the furnance we have tamed the flame, so to speak. We’ve gone from building huts for shelter from the cold and rain, to buildings that provide shelter even when it rains bombs from airplanes.

Why is it that we see such a repeitive history to humanities self inflicted wounds? Why is it that we will conquer cancer before we conquer miscommunications?

Today, focus on becoming weird. Stop doing what comes naturally; being self centered and other controlling. Build your “second nature,” and start becoming CORE centered, and self controlling.

Stop doing what comes naturally, quickly, and without effort, like popping pills, stuffing your face, cursing your coworker, and cutting corners.

Mom always said, “nothing worth possessing, comes easily.” Gaining control of your nature won’t come easily but it’s an aim worth pursuing.
