NEVER GIVE UP HOPE: DAY SEVEN WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

YES this is a place/forum to be free, write from the heart and let loose. It has been a wonderful week so far for me with the passion and vision to create something day after day. I desire to do a little more than I have been, and will do my best to commit to that this week. The Australian Open is finally over after an epic (longest Grand Slam Final ever 5 hours 53 minutes) Mens Final last night and into the morning for me here in California. Thank you so much Rafa and Novak for all your courage, stamina, and tremendous endurance. Great Show For the Ages. Where should we go this evening with all of you? What do you want to know about me? What do I want to know of you? I smile and continue, deciding to focus on the art of HOPE. Hoping to be somebody someday? I am somebody of course. Hope that one of these days my hope does not let me down? Hope that your hope rises to the occasion and instills in you a motivating passion to keep on hoping? Hope surely requires action, since it is only a sensational idea and spark of faith that allows you to open up and believe what ever you are hoping for will provide you with something that will uplift you or bring you closer to your goals or aspirations. Unless you really HOPE she would leave you alone, or hope that the scale could give you just a little less output in the morning. Otherwise lets indulge in the ability to really understand you, what makes you YOU, and what you want to do with YOU on this path we call life, or this path we call YOU. I think it is SO helpful for everyone once in awhile, or some people believe daily at a certain specific time of the day, but really set aside the time/effort to appreciate and be grateful for YOU. I find when I am running long distances and really enjoying a releasing sweat that my self-analysis skills flow the best. Discover your time and enjoy it. Get ideas and get excited, plan ahead, but something I struggle with from these sessions is the ACTION part. Thats why I am here to do my best, focus on a vision of creation and DO MORE, seeing through the end. What is the end of this project, a FINAL PRODUCT that I can distribute and celebrate amongst the film festivals all over the world....a feature film documentary that opens up the senses and allows people to let go from the inside out. Yes I continue preaching that, but until you can LET GO, I really don't believe you can live your FULL POTENTIAL. How can you if you are holding back or have put something away, layering it with guilt, booze, work, food, or whatever your vice/strategy of hiding is, DIG DIG DIG...Hey maybe what has to be released is closer than you think, or too deep than you want to swim? You have that choice to be YOU. We are amazing beings, us humans, and have created such an incredible world, but we can be DOING a lot more, with a lot more respect, dedication, appreciation, and selfless action. The more Light you Liberate in others the more Light you will Receive. So share for the sake of others, but before you even do that, focus on YOU, be good to yourself in all that do, all the food you put in your mouth, all your thoughts, actions, decisions, cherish the time here NOW, and never give up hope. NEVER. Life is too grand for us to deprive our ability to shine. Boy do I love sunshine. The Golden State boy born by the sea, the Pacific Blue to be exact. I love seeking the unknown, being surprised by bliss, listening to the sounds of the South, seeing the sunset in the West, the rising morning out in the desert, and the fight to enjoy a New Day. Didn't live through the NewDeal, but was raised by a boomers generation whose parents knew what it was like to commit to dedication and earn a living from their efforts, survive and fight wars I wouldn't know how to deal, but the examples of greatness from my past, instill in me, that even though they became stubborn (which age does to the mind) they surely new what hope and love was all about. I hope today that I can continue my hope of believing in ME and all that I am, and battle from within to establish a beautiful strong life that lies ahead. I focus on TODAY though, NOW is for me, and NOW is what I can become- RVB
