Dear world.

Welcome to Me 2.0. Don’t be mistaken, this is not a revision, but an entirely new version, years in the making and risen from the ashes.

It took me far too long to realize that the rabid chihuahua nipping at my heals is not angry with me, it’s just mad because it’s a rabid chihuahua! Having empathy does not mean that you agree, it simply means that you acknowledge the emotions of another. I understand why the chihuahua might be angry. It’s a freakin rabid chihuahua!

It was not a mountain in front of me that stopped my progress, but an annoying stone in my shoe. The laws of perseverance, or perhaps my hubris, dictated that I push forward, cursing the stone with every step and at the same time trying so desperately to ignore the stone. But I was wrong. You can’t blame the stone, nor can you be angry with it, if YOU do not stop to take it out of your shoe.

To conquer something, you need to STOP and confront it head-on. You cannot conquer something without confronting it.

P.S. I post for my edification as part of my dedication to jumping into the deep end of the internet brand pool. My posts are part raw life journal and part discovery of my voice.

P.P.S There isn’t very much satisfaction in getting the world to accept your viewpoint and praise you. If you only want to hear your opinion, talk to the mirror.
