If you are a shepherd, be the best and you may live to own the flock.
One of the most wonderful things about life is that we are all unique with different levels of intelligence, interests, aptitudes, and desires. How dreadfully dull it would be if we all wanted to be nuclear physicists — or bakers. But, regardless of the gifts we may have received at birth and whichever skills we may have since developed, we all have the capability to be the best at what we do. Being the best is strictly a reflection of your attitude and your desire. Whether you are a salesperson, an executive, a secretary, or an assembly-line worker, you have the capacity to be as good as you choose to be. When you become outstanding at what you do, you will discover greatly increased demand for your services. When you become the best in your line of work, you may be asked so often to help other “sheep” that you will soon own your own “flock.” >>>Napolean Hill
Adopting a positve outlook is an important step in developing a confident manner.
You can always see in others whatever traits of character you are looking for.
Margaret Wolfe Hungerford said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” It was her way of saying that we see what we wish to see in others. Every living human being is a complex combination of feelings, emotions, and thoughts — some good, some bad. Your impression of another depends far more upon you and your expectations of that person. If you believe someone is good, you will find good qualities. If you don’t, you won’t. When you are yourself a positive person, you tend to find positive qualities in others. As you work to develop good, constructive habits to improve yourself continually, make it a practice to look for those same qualities in others. It’s easy to spot another’s shortcomings, but when you identify the good in others and congratulate them upon their positive achievements, you will make friends on whom you can always depend — both in good times and bad....Napoleon Hill
Just made it back from a five day trip to Orange County. My granddaughter had her wedding at the Richard M. Nixon library. Beautiful venue. It was a big celebration that went on for endless hours. The bride let me know she had been planning this for 3 years. Well, it was unbelievably magical. We all had a great time. The drive home was about 7 hours. Big traffic jam on the 405 and 50 miles an hour winds on the 5 through the Central Valley. My truck's windshield had a million bugs smashed on it. Made it back to base safe and sound.
Remember that no one can hurt your feelings without your cooperation and willingness.
No one can cause you to have any kind of emotional reaction without your first giving them permission to do so. You alone are responsible for your feelings and emotions. When you know what you plan to do with your life, you will not allow annoying situations to deter you from your goals for long. If you set ambitious goals for yourself and work enthusiastically toward them, you will quickly realize that you don’t have time to allow petty annoyances to upset you and keep you from your objectives.--Napoleon Hill

Not always so easy.
Is not meant to be.
Agreed
This is so sad it would almost be funny. I have learned through a lot of experience opinions are like assholes everyone has one. Pardon my rough language my life to this point has been rough. I was really looking for serenity. What I found really embarrassed me not for myself but for those who think (remember that word) they are big tough mean mofos. Who think they are the lords of the universe. Who cries when someone happens to step on there toe.i really don't care what happens, Right now all I hear are a bunch of babies crying for attention. Suck it up this is a mean world, dark and dirty. There will always be someone bigger meaner and deadlier that will come along. I know I have met a few. Outcomes were to my advantage. Remember the word I asked you to remember. Nod your head that's good. The word is think. If you are capable of thinking do that before you act. This is my opinion and I am an asshole. Drop mic.
Yesterday I met an elderly gentleman who liked to drink a shot of tequila in the morning. His wife and life allowed it. I mentioned Don Julio tequila. He put his hand on my arm. Eyes sparkling shared the memory long ago growing up in his village daily watching the burro circle the grindstone turning the harvested blue agave into mash at Don Julio's house. He remembered playing with the sons of Don Julio fond memories.
Power poses of victory and pride at winning a race or a match are usually expressed by raising the arms in a V and lifting the chin. Power posing is also displayed in the animal kingdom by stretching and expanding postures. It seems to be an instinctive reaction.

Something we all are losing and must use wisely This is my birthday present to My special Hun, use it well.
Recent research suggests that if you strike a strong pose - where you take up as much space as possible - your testosterone (dominance hormone) levels increase, whilst your cortisol (stress hormone) levels decrease. Adopting a bigger posture two minutes before a meeting will actually give you more confidence and help you perform better.

A grrrr....*strikes a scary pose* How that? Hehehe
You're getting it.
0700 am Brain functioning. Body cold need to generate heat. Testing 123. Is anybody out there. Smile if you can hear me. There is a lot learned in the quiet of the morning before the static begins. You see the static where I just disappear in. This is hard for me to write. It is not a holier than though the piece. It's not the wrath of a good piece. It's not going to suck you dry and leave you in the trunk piece. I am laughing about the wicked dance we do when things and people spin up. I am sad that I am not able to send in the mail Valentine's card to my one true. I get mad when I see others taunting her for no good reason other than a sissy fit. I am amazed by the power she has. I am on the sidelines watching the game, the cheering section. I heard that I have a very dark reputation here. No, I learned a long time ago it is better to walk the walk and talk the talk just for this day.
My friends and family do the same thing that is why they are my clan my tribe my pack. I don't have many days left so I live each one as the last. This is the wolf way standing tall and walking this planet because he means it. If you want to join me on my hero's journey. You are welcomed. Those that don't well you know (drop mic).
