Life is...

...too short. I dont know why I typed that. Anyways as you know I am always reading and the latest book is the 7 habits of highly effective people. the 1st habbit is becoming proactive. I havent fully grasped the whole idea but it centers on realizing that you create how you feel and no one else. Think about that statement. It is true. "Ah that jerk cut me off what a dick." You created that reality. I am mad because... You choose this emotion. You are the creator of your condition. This is obviously dumbed down. Let me give an exert: "Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"- the abilty to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstanes, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. their behavior is a product of their own concious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
Because we are, by nature, proactive, if our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by concious decision or default, chosen to empower those things to control us.
In making such a choice, we become reactive."

Quick ramble

2008 has been awesome so far. Made it to the snow once already on an epic day, spending time with the loves of my life and my job is going well too. The biggest news is without any coercing Marcello has begun calling me Dad. At 1st I was unsure how to react but it is amazing to be quite honest. Now i just need to step my game up. Big things are in the works for 2008, big things. For x-mas I got a killer book from my dad's fiance called "Excuse me your life is waiting" I strongly recommened giving it a read. It is about the law of attraction but the read is simple and entertaining yet packed with knowledge. Sorry for the lack of posts. Dont excpect an abundance anytime soon because now I have even less time with school being under way.
