When you're learning to face
The path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while...
We’re used to the long game. We chose it, and it nourishes us in a way that expedience never has and never could. That’s not to say there are no downsides. There are times I fall prey to avarice, envy, and other negatives unbecoming of a person living immaculately. I take ill-guided solace in lack and the zero sum game, believing for a second that another’s success is tenable only in a world that guarantees my failure. To that end, I believe in the inevitability of failure-on-my-watch, see no triumphant end to my journey, and succumb to despair and languish in gloom and sorrow.
To this, I submit: I curate my relationships, whether friendships, work-relationships, or other, very sincerely and very selectively. Why? The correct answer is because, as a suicidal, negative and destructive energies could easily seep into and overcome my consciousness with thoughts of self-harm. But the right answer, and what I submit to the world this year, is that people should curate their relationships, sincerely and selectively, because people deserve to be treated well. All people. Even the shit ones. Especially the shit ones. Immaculate living postulates that if everyone treats others with kindness, grace, and respect, then everyone will be treated with kindness, grace, and respect. For no reason whatsoever. Just because.
And by doing so, maybe we’ll turn the world from a place overflowing with misguided billionaires, clueless award winners, musclemen, and warlords, to one overflowing with compassion, harmony, and balance.
Travel safe, and talk soon.
