MIND RAMBLIN'

48 hours of "thinking"...

Lot's of thinking going on in these parts lately, and I'm not sure it's been the most "comfortable" answers about myself that I've been realizing. This doesn't feel like the appropriate format to be opening up in, but surely it's always good to admit that one can and should change.

So, this is my quandry:

Although the purpose of life is to become perfect for eternal joy, that journey gets all messed up when perfectionism reigns.

Getting past perfectionism for the most part isn't too hard, but it makes me vulnerable and therein is the conflict.

Yesterday, Friday, was one of those days when it seemed the universe was rallying around and gathering forces to cosmically point out a thing or two that I needed to know. For example, in a graduation speech I sat through, the speaker related a epiphanic moment when a client explained his motivation for change occurred when he "decided to swallow his pride and live for his future." Resonation.

resonant: characterized by reverberation; "a resonant voice"; "hear the rolling thunder"...

And definitely I did not suspect to feel the Guiding Spirit while watching "Transformers" at the theatre last night, but perhaps stranger things have been known to happen. The resonation occured when the girl was conflicted with getting into the robotic car and asked what would happen next. The boy simply admitted he did not know but questioned her with, "50 years from now dont you want to be able to say that you had the guts to get into the car?...."

So, this is the great question: Follow pride and safe harbors, or swallow pride and get into the car? What should a rambler do?
