Imagine an engine that has a slight sputter. Barely noticeable if one tries to listen and if a mechanic were to look deep, they would probably come back with "nothin to worry about"...but you know better. You see that slight sputter is being caused by a two inch hose with a barely noticeable tear in it. No big deal right? Except that you know that if you replaced the hose with one that not only has no tear, but that will provide better air flow, your engine will run smoother, faster and longer. When you are a practitioner of deep introspection, those are the changes you value the most. The ones most will never see but you.
There are many things that can change in the immediate and down the road from a simple change of perspective or a broadening of the same. An inclusion or exclusion of pieces you allowed to exist in your conclusions that have become road signs for you. Simple little things most would never see as life changing can have the deepest impact on your outlook and by extension...your path. Lines are soon drawn in the sand and what you used to entertain no longer brings you pleasure. Forcing your intellectual honesty to make things plainer than before. Where once existed a maybe now demands a certain "yes" or a "no" lest you become one living an existence based on things you are used to as opposed to things you now know you no longer want or need.
I have always said that I am and will always be a stalwart to the truths I hold dear to my heart as I came to them through fire. They are and always will be my foundation. It is on the energy of this foundation where all machines built by me are run and they alone can be tinkered with to produce something greater. Some are still working on their foundations and others seem to not have any at all. That my friends, is what separates the strong from the weak for it is the strength of your foundation that keeps your house from being swept away with the storm. The machines we build on top of that foundation can free us to purpose or weigh us down with unnecessary bulk. Think on this...
As of this writing, my mind is heavy, my heart is steady and my body is weary from the stress I've placed on it. All in the name of betterment...all in the name of upward mobility. Walk if you have to after running. Sleep if you must after long days and nights. Lay still if you have moved too much but don't stay that way for too long. There is always much more to do...I'm out my loves
