Energy + Direction = Destiny 

Pursuing validation is always hit or miss. 

Pursuing purpose, wants, skills, and excellence with consistency will always be successful. 

Letting go with hope for a better future, is the act of patience combined with faith. 

Arguing against someone, or something, does not make your idea any more valid. 

Arguing for someone, or something, is the way to validate with reason and logic. 

Walking stills the soul,

so it doesn’t need to keep running, 

so it doesn’t need to keep escaping, 

so it doesn’t need to keep looking. 

Walk more so you worry less. 

Time doesn’t heal anything. 

Faith heals. 

Forgiveness heals. 

Love heals. 

And those three will do any healing as fast as you let them. 

A ferocious doberman can destroy you. 

If you keep a ferocious doberman tied up, it can do no damage.

Yet, when trained, when used the right way, and when let loose, that doberman can be extremely useful and powerful. 

Fear is a doberman. 

Resentment results from unmet desires, after that desire gets twisted into feeling like needs. 

The best way to help others feel heard is to let them explain themselves, fully. 

It is not about the words you say or actions you take, as much as it is the words and actions to don’t say and don’t do. It is about giving them space to express themselves. 

Pain doesn’t equal suffering. 

Suffering is when expectations are not met. 

If you expect the pain, embrace the pain, and work through the pain, then there is no suffering. 

Suffering is wishing something was different than the way it is without the ability to change the situation or being willing to change the situation.
