"Follow the crowd and you will never be followed by the crowd" - unknown
So I was speaking to an acquaintance, and knowing about my 52 week challenge asked me how I was doing with it. I started to explain my latest challenge and he gave me a quizzical look. I very slight one but a look nonetheless. I called him on it and he admitted to me that he thought I would have quit by now. Admittedly he is just a casual person I know when I am out and about but it surprised me that he thought that way about me. He responded by saying that most people are like that.
On one level I guess I know that is true, but I also know a greater truth about human beings by partaking in this challenge. That all humans are capable of more than they realize they are. I guess the surprise to me is why most people choose to live so called complacent lives. But then again I also realize everyone has some part of their lives that there is a complacency. But change is easy and I do think the universe kind of conspires to help you, but you have to be the first one to take the step. And if you don't know what to do, do anything. Nuff said.
Updates and Stuff
So far it's been super busy. I have been keeping up to the challenge and doing yoga everyday. Didn't realize I was so bendy. I've been busy laying down guitar tracks for a friends album so getting my own stuff up has taken a slight back seat to that for now.
I was able to see Brian Greene this past Tuesday. He is a string theorist who wrote a new book called "The Hidden Reality". I have to admit, he impressed me. I'm also gonna meet a big mentalist by the name of Ted Karmilovich later this week. I am hoping to book some classes with Leigh Nash and magic lessons with Aaron Fisher this week as well. I figure I need some coaching in my life today. I usually don't like referring to others but I realize that in itself is just some programming on my part. I mean if it helps me get better. Carolyn got to meet a member of the songwriting team Stargate. I am so jealous, their current hit on the radio is Katy Perry's Firework. Am I tired yes, and some of the lessons cost a bit of money. I have been using tax money to pay for them but I also realize that it has to be done. Growth and change are hard to come by. If you keep following the heard it will never happen. I believe good mentors do make a difference. I believe you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to grow and I also believe the money is well spent if it is something you love.
Anyhow I am about to pass out. I will probably read this blog in the morning and say, what the heck was I thinking...Anyhow, what else is new?
The person on youtube inspiring now is Gabe Bondoc, check out his awesome original. Later
