Take A Walk On The Wild Side
I purchased a JBL bluetooth speaker. The packaging said: Hear The Truth. It sounds easy. The catch 22 is, we have to listen with our mind, heart and ears to hear it. We have to be bold.
The truth is powerful, whether we acknowledge it or not. It’s not always pleasant, but it always opens doors to answers. Don’t bury your head in the sand.
Truth is clear to see, hear, taste, touch and smell. As you think with your senses, stress loses its power and it’s easier to be bold. Our senses hold no emotional charge. They tell it like it is.
Tuning-in to the truth puts us in the fast lane of living. Feeling the truth is taking a walk on the wild side of reality. It’s being brave enough to live fully, knowing mystery and passion are part of the adventure. It’s living with no fear.
Truth is part innocence and part passion. Passion is innocence that is tattooed to your soul. Innocence is a private, inner free zone that connects with our dreams. Every person is born with a dream. Stay in touch with yours. It’s determination to get the truth heard.
The simplicity of what we sense, the honesty of what we feel, and the anchor of what we know from experience, keeps us vibrant. Staying ‘real’ keeps us in sync with change in our lives. It’s having the edge.
The syllabus of Living is all about the truth. Every time has its own challenges; just like every generation has its own language for saying what’s real. We stay “young”, “hip”, “cool”, “chill”, ‘synced’, etc. when we hear truth. Everyone can access what’s true. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. It makes us ostriches.
Between what we sense and what we know, is a bridge of connections. The foundation of every bridge that leads to happiness is truth.
Hear the truth.
Take a Walk On The Wild side with Lou Reed and have fun!
I purchased some plastic keys for a toddler that came with a tiny book of innocent and empowering truth from children. Listen for it:
- “You know what? Not all dreams come true. But that’s okay because you can always make new dreams.” Katie, 4yrs and the book says, B. confident.
- Children remind us to be happy for no reason.
- “Hey, look! All I need are some rose tops and I’ll have roses!” Ryan, 5yrs after finding a bunch of rose stems on the ground, and the book says, B. optimistic.
- Children are always industrious.
- Son: “Do you get younger as I get older?” Mom: “No, we both just get older.” Son:” Hmmm.. Well, then where was I before I was here?” Sebastian, 2yrs and the book says B. curious.
- Never give up.
