I've got to say that the past few weeks have been magnificently stellar for me. I have made some advances in neuroplasticity, built stronger relationships, skateboarded, discovered hidden treasures and perceived the rarest forms of knowledge with integrity and the light of wisdom.
I have been prodded by myself and others to discard the limitations imposed upon myself. No more handicaps for me. I'm hoping I'll be able to shake these die hard habits easily.
My goals in life have been accomplished. Everything I've worked for has been achieved for the team. Somehow I find myself still showing up for practice first thing in the morning even though the team just won the championships. I need new goals, this I know, but where to set my sites? My life has presented me with the full gambit of perceptions, from prince to pauper and everywhere in between. I know I don't want to be either of the extremes. I've learned those to be false finishing lines. The truth resides within the middle. Like when you surf you don't want to be at either the top or the bottom of the wave. At the top the wave just passes you over and you never get a chance to ride it. At the bottom, if you get on too soon, the wave will crash upon you it won't be pretty. Like any good surfer knows, you've got to be in the spot and time it just right.
I think I just need a number to shoot for. Not zero. Not one-thrillion and one. I'm talking money here. As much as I dislike attributing a value to a human life I think this might be the solution I need. Whatever that number may be I hope it allows me to reach out with both hands and to touch the top and the bottom of the social wave.
I'm so totally looking forward to riding the Google Wave. Shooting the Tube. I have confidence that this innovation will be a hit. I could have spent years helping to develop this technology but I had some other people do it for me so I could kick back and enjoy life for a little while. This is the wave of the future and I hope it doesn't crash.
