HEY HEY HEY and how goes the day? Wake up grab that cup of morning, look outside, grab a little positivity out of the sky and know the blessing it is to just be able to once again say “HEY HEY HEY.” This morning I sit on my balcony overlooking the pool catching the glimmer of the early sunrise. It’s a little frosty out but being that its California I would probably be laughed at by those that have the pleasures of experiencing all four seasons in their most intense states. So in respects to that, I guess I would have to say it’s a beautiful morning, all is well (thus far) and in this moment I now declare every minute as an auspicious occasion. I recently ran across a YOUTUBE video featuring Anthony Anderson and a comic kid (a young girl) as the dialectic sidekick. I only say dialectic in the since the two were back and forth in the assertion of their opinions, in this case the debate was over the word “success.” Though in my opinion it was a hilarious commercial it was putting forth a very important message (again, my opinion). “The issue was the word “success” and its dictionary and social definition in reference to wealth.” There is a petition circulating the internet to get the definition of “success” changed in all new public text and rendered void in old dictionaries and text. Instead of associating success with wealth their characters come to an agreement that success should be measured by the quality of relationships you create while you’re here. When you think about the many conditions that are created both mentally and physically surrounding the “success” of the individual you realize many of us are so systematically prone to suggestion of word that we actually throw ourselves into depression over not being successful” i.e. the word “wealthy”. What if the first time you ever heard the word “success” it was associated with “quality relationship?” Simple, you (we) would value your live and your “quality relationships” more than you2would your career, and your extra marital affairs.
