I am the general of my own life. I am focused on maturity, financial mastery and in favor of skillful living and long term thinking.

My 20's were a messy period for me. I am 28 now, and entering my 30's.

My 30's will be marked by career and business growth, spiritual embodyiment and debt free living.

 

Success can grow from failure.

Misery from happiness 

Who knows what lies

Beneath the surface?

Complaint and conflict

Can turn to good

Morale can shift

From high to low,

People have long been confused 

About causation

The Tao Leader is

Just, but not judgemental

Honest, but not hurtful

Straightforward, but not inflexible

Bright, but not flamboyant.

(Tao, 58)

The Tao leader

Looks beyond friend and foe,

Profit and loss

Fame and disgrace

And therefore prevails

(Tao, 56)

Learn self defence in mind, body, soul and finance

But, forgive those wicked who would harm you in such ways.

Or, those who have.

Defend, protect and use discernment. But, forgive.

Peace of mind is number one goal.

I woke up with the power out,
Not really somethin to shout about.
Ice has covered up my parents hands,
Don't have any dreams don't have any plans.

I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are swingin from the power lines,
Nobody's home so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night,
Neighbors all were shouting that they
Found the light - "we found the light." -

Shadows jumpin' all over my walls,
Some of them big, some of them small.
I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone.
Light a candle for the kids,
Jesus christ don't keep it hid!

Ice has covered up my parents eyes,
Don't know how to see, don't know how to cry.
Growin' up in some strange storm,
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm.

I went out into the night, i went out to find some light.
Kids are dyin' out in the snow, look at them go - look at them go!

And the power's out in the heart of man,
Take it from your heart put it in your hand.
What's the plan? what's the plan?
Is it a dream?
Is it a lie?
I think i'll let you deceide.
Just light a candle for the kids,
Jesus christ don't keep it hid!
Cause nothing's hid,
From us kids!
You ain't foolin' nobody - with the lights out!
And the power's out in the heart of man, take it from your heart put it in your hand.
And there's something wrong in the heart of man,
You take it from your heart and put it in your hand!
Where'd you go?!
 

 

 

———-

 

Sleeping is giving in,
No matter what the time is.
Sleeping is giving in,
So lift those heavy eyelids.

People say that you'll die
Faster than without water.
But we know it's just a lie,
Scare your sons and scare your daughter.

People say that your dreams
Are the only things that save ya.
Come on baby in our dreams,
We can live our misbehavior.

Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes
Every time you close your eyes

People try and hide the night
Underneath the covers.
People try and hide the light
Underneath the covers.

Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers,
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers.

Hidin' from your brothers
Underneath the covers,
Come on hide your lovers
Underneath the covers.

People say that you'll die
Faster than without water,
But we know it's just a lie,
Scare your son, scare your daughter,
Scare your son, scare your daughter.
Scare your son, scare your daughter.

Now here's the sun, it's alright!
(Lies, lies!)
Now here's the moon, it's alright!
(Lies, lies!)
Now here's the sun, it's alright!
(Lies, lies!)
Now here's the moon it's alright
(Lies, lies!)

Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!
Every time you close your eyes
Lies, lies!

Every time you close your eyes

Every time you close your eyes

You would keep the secrets in ya'
You've been keeping paraphernalia, oh
I think you know
Anyone can walk up to ya'
Anyone can see right through your eyes
All night

And I don't mean to be unkind
But I see what's in your mind
And the stone you throw
Will turn back in its path
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass
Wall of glass
Wall of glass
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass

You believe in fascinations
And designer vaccinations, love
You get along
You were sold a one direction
I believe the resurrection's on
And you were wrong

And I don't mean to be unkind
But I see what's in your mind
And the stone you throw
Will turn back in its path
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass
Wall of glass
Wall of glass
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass

And I don't mean to be unkind
But I see what's in your mind
And the stone you throw
Will turn back in its path
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass
Wall of glass
Wall of glass
One day you'll shatter like a wall of glass

Reality is complicated. 
 

I seek to understand it.

I want to understand humanity. 
 

I must understand myself.

I do not wish to judge others in ways that demonize. 
 

I see humanity doing its best with what it has. I see the good in you. Don’t you worry. ;)

I walked down to the ocean
After waking from a nightmare
No moon no pale reflection
Black mirror, black mirror

Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror

I know a time is coming
All words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn't mine
-But mine is the only kind that I relate to

Le miroir casse,
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
Black mirror, black mirror, black mirror

The black mirror knows no reflection
It knows not pride or vanity
It cares not about your dreams
It cares not for your pyramid schemes

Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken
The curse is never broken

Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
Black mirror!
Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
Black mirror!

Black mirror
Black mirror

Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken
Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall

Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror
Black mirror

A vial of hope and a vial of pain
In the light they both looked the same
Poured them out on into the world
On every boy and every girl

It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the neon Bible is right

Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
What I know is what you know is right
In the city it's the only light

It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is right

Oh God! well look at you now!
Oh, you lost it but you don't know how
In the light of a golden calf
Oh God, I had to laugh

Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
It was wrong but you said it was right
In the future I will read at night

In the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the Neon Bible is true

Peace of mind is my number one goal in life I think. Central to how I go about creating balance and maturity in my life. Chasing fame or purpose or wealth is all nonsense. 
 

Though, wealth building is part of peace of mind.
