To be and individual
does not stop
at the soverignty
of the undividable
is to be not enough
it is in company
with others
that what we lack
is fulfilled

We say
we need to see ourselves
objectively.

Except
that’s impossible.

What we can do
is see ourselves
from an external
yet still subjective point of view.

So it is not a matter
of objective
vs
subjective.

It is we can empathize
with the point of view,
enough
for it to move us
to feel
as if
we understand.

Launch failure
can sometimes be
the birthplace of
a pivot.

If the goal post
of life
is death,
we
are guaranteed
achievement.

With achievement
guaranteed
how do you wish
to enjoy?

We often thank luck,
when it may be more than that:
grace.

It is not
that I do not care
about them.

I do.

It is that
I am confident
I can recover
the relationship
or recover from
the relationship.

That even if I do something
they wont like
I trust
that they care about me
just as I care about them
for our relationship
to sustain.

Otherwise
we are merely conforming
walking on eggshells

If you do it that way,
you can fail!

Even if we say those words
out of compassion
for another person.

The person receiving it
can easily interpret it
as a curse.

Are you
a verb?

or

Are you
a noun?

If you’re a verb
you put your self-worth
on the verb.

If you’re a noun
you put your self-worth
on the noun.

The choice
is yours
and yours
only.

Lack of experience
can allude us to think
that there is such a thing
as managing “up.”

Just as we eventually learn
that our parents
need our support
just as we need theirs,
what we misunderstand as “up”

What we eventually learn
is that “up” is an illusion.

Once we realize
that parents manage us
primarily because of the conern
they feel
we can proactively manage them
by alleviating their concern
