I'm learning that it's not about the resources, it's about being resourceful. 
When your back is against the wall and there's no other option, you win. 
There's nothing else. You must win. 

Honest with no apology, be yourself entirely, show us your Realm.

Sometimes the challenge, is building momentum. It's not always a hurdle in terms of skill, but in terms of mental resolve. Being able to dial in and do what's required is the key. Sometimes it comes down to imposed time limits. At others it comes down to setting the location's atmosphere, or getting a quiet space. Sometimes it's just the right type of noise to get into the flow. Any way that it's looked at, there's a certain necessity that must be realized. Your greatest fear should be deep regret, due to not trying your absolute best at the chance given. 

Don't give yourself the chance to experience this. 

Live honest with no apology, be yourself entirely, show us your Realm.

If the people are kept divided, they miss out on the bigger issues. Yes there's a situation, and everyone has to step up to take care of it. The siblings of the perpetrators and the victims, one in the same. Get caught up in the fight too long, get split along drawn lines too long, and you'll miss out, the wealth will be taken out from under you. History destroyed and rewritten, present day matters repackaged and used to program. The solution is simple really, but not too many are ready to take on the bigger challenge. Override it, override it all, step forward and write a new story , then again, this is the original story delivered yet again. ​

Solve it. Get honest with no apology, be yourself entirely, show us your Realm.

You might lose. 
It's a fact that you must come to terms with. 
Sometimes giving slack even in the slightest means that you might very well lose. 
Understand the importance of each opportunity. 
You'd rather not fall short due to preventable cause. 
No matter your disposition, 
no matter the climate, 
if you must do something, get it done. 

You might win.

In a mere few hundred days, nothing will be as it is now. 
In a mere few weeks, the season will have changed over. 
In a mere few days, opportunity's windows will close, and yet others will open. 
Although things keep turning over, one's reach is finite. 
There are only so many revolutions, so many chances to grasp at an ideal timeline.
Be cautious of this. 
Forget the minutia, delegate the lesser priorities, and seize the objective.
Remain honest with no apology, be yourself entirely and show us Your Realm.

It's certainly terminal, this condition. Called from the dark and back to dust in the same breath. To you, cherish it all. Know nothing is mundane. For you have the same condition as I do. Eternally turning. 

Whether it be numbness or ringing of the ears, it's essential not to lose touch. In depth or shortness of breath, reddened skin , burned to ash, it's one in the same. Make the most of it. For just as I , your condition is terminal.

It's critical to stay objective. Too often people will paint a picture of reality and then project it onto others. Understand that people don't always see the way that you do. They don't think the way that you do. That's ok. It's allowed, and it's natural. 

The thing though, you can't let this encroach on your aim. Your vision for yourself and the future can't be seen by others. Some will understand, but ultimately it's your journey. 
Control your perception, understand that varying responses across the spectrum will come to meet your ambition, and not all will be on your side. Accept it , but don't let that shape you for the worse. 
You're capable. Stick to that vision, stay honest with no apology. Be yourself entirely. 
Show us your Realm.

I was made aware of this concept by a good friend of mine in a talk last night. 
He pointed out that it's the method that we used to get where we are. 
It also seems to link up to other processes , such as working out, or developing any skill. 

The concept is that it's the opposite of fragility. With harder experiences, the more you get bounced around, the more pressure put on over time leads you to be refined. It's basically like stone to diamond.
As humans we're antrifragile. It's important to understand that the trials that we go through, shape us. They make us stronger. It's a choice though in many instances. In order to build up skill, you must push in the direction of your resistance. If something is uncomfortable that means you're facing a challenge and have an opportunity to grow through it. Really take this into consideration when challenges cross your mind. Know where you'd like to be, work backward / reverse engineer the process from that end goal, and then understand that adversity and some roughness are necessary to complete that route all the way through. You'll come to see that even more than your objective, the person that you will become through this journey is an even greater reward. 

Approach your goals with confidence, and remember, be honest with no apology, be yourself entirely and show us your Realm.

I'm used to it. 
I'm used to condescension, to disrespect, to malice, disregard, and false fronts. 
I'm used to half hearted attempts, selfish nature, and conflict. 
I know that this is common for many, so I'll speak as one of few. 
It seems like the only way above it,  beyond it , is to cultivate skill.
Cultivate it, not to silence the prior, but to place yourself into your own realm.
All of the tools that you need for liberation are within you. You were born complete, 
you were born enough.
​
Through cultivation of skill , you can act upon the world instead of being a victim to it.
In truth you only have control over your mind and your body. Expand your mind, 
push the limits of your body, and become what you can.
You may already far more free than you think. 
Step forward, honest with no apology, be yourself entirely, show us your Realm.

​Choose your words well for they determine the lens with which you see the world around you. 
It's really as simple as that. Although circumstances aren't entirely ours to control, by choosing how we describe the events that we encounter and the locations and people that we are around, there can be some sway in this process. Be cautious so as not to shade something incorrectly based on a skewed personal filter. Events are neutral, the world is chaotic and organized at the same time, and we have the ability to augment our experience through whatever free agency we have. Respond, don't react, choose instead of being forced. Through a progressive chain of choices , we can guide ourselves to most any destination. 
Also, remember, honest with no apology, be yourself entirely, show us your realm.
