Been thinking on Halloween. I have an affinity for the months that end with ‘bers. It started with secular inculcation, then I moved into observation and experiential learning, then I participated and adapted. Now I feel I have more control of how I react to things during these prized months of the gregorian calendar year. The ‘bers have been where much of my resilience was forged through a grand diversity of lessons learned. I am in my 49th tour around the sun on the 3rd rock from the sun. The biggest thing I understand to date is just how little i know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the subtle mistakes I often observe is something I fell prey to, as well. Take swimming for example. In the 3 sports of triathlon it is often the most under respected of the three. But is requires persistent and consistent discipline. The harder you try it seems the slower you go. So, instead of providing the wrong energy and in mass quantity, rather its the quality of energy that is required. This is where fooling oneself looms large. Have you ever tried to walk fast? And to do it well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
