“Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."" - Eric Sevareid
It seems as if every once and a while, no matter what our focus or goal is, hurdles step in the way of life. As fast at things turn good, even faster it can seem things turn bad. It does not take a rocket scientist to feel the energy change in the World this last year, and the reality is the last 20 years.
With the advancement of technology and the quickness of so called "communication", we have been conditioned, whether on purpose or as a result; to be the quick hitters get the information now sort of people. The bad thing about this, is it creates an emotional roller coaster even for the toughest of the tough.
Sometimes in life if it hasn't yet, will fill like you just got smacked in the face with a ton of bricks, and every few minutes another brick falls down from the sky and clonks you in the head again. When things like this happen it is the perfect time for a personal phase shift. A phase shift is something to shake things up a bit, get your mind off the current woes and worries. By doing this it gives your mind, body, and soul an opportunity to recuperate from the beating of life it has just taken. Then go back to the battle. Write down all the bricks, where they are coming from, and then ponder a plan of attack to overcome the obstacle.
Yesterday Casey Persinger and I were talking about the loss of The B Side Fan Page. I simply said "yeah it sucks, but it ain't no big deal! We can rebuild it! It's just a little stumbling block!" He says to me "you're a pretty positive person." I greatly appreciate the compliment. Sometimes life smacks us around a little bit and we think it is the end of the World.
The B Side To The Truth is life is coming at us and coming at us fast. It sometimes feels so surreal and like a video game. We must slow down life by creating phase shifts so we can pull ourselves together and be tenacious in this life. We are enslaved in a system and this system is not nor will not wait around. So screw the system and create your own! Live life to enjoy, to be happy, and to help others be happy! In the end what else really matters, you can't take your sweet wheels with you, your awesome Iphone, your cool HD TV, your nifty snowmobile! Nothing... absolutely nothing except for experience and knowledge. And that comes from every moment of living!!
