Brothers,
Place your confidence in the brilliance of your resilience. Place your confidence in your power to make the next best decision for your life. Place your confidence in the knowing that when you fall you will press your knuckles into the dirt and stand, slow or fast, once again. Place your confidence in the flow of powerfully loving intelligence that wells from your gut-core. Trust that. It knows the way.
Don't become greedy or fearful. Instead trust in the directionality of your total life picture, zoom out, gain a snapshot, regain inspiration, and take the next right step; and if you don't know what that is; who cares?! Just live.
Let the highs and lows come and go, don't cling to what is changing. Don't place your confidence in accomplishments, for when the vicissitudes of life rage onward and the causal forces grind down your ability to accomplish, your confidence too will be crushed. Instead, place your confidence in life and her ever changing ways. Knowing that if she too is ever changing, then so are you. Through this confidence in the changing nature to be as it is, you become wise. When you are wise you are kind. When you are kind you are at peace, and when you are at peace, you are in love. And love is the greatest attainment. But true love is only known through the power of emptiness.
Go forth, living on the winds of your freedom. But don't fly so high that you forget about your brethren, your family, your wife, your children. To forget them is to forget yourself, your heart, and your home. Live passionately, with strength, humor, and humility. Hold hands hard. Cry tears big. Laugh deeper. Feel bigger. Stop trying to get everything fucking right. Let yourself go.
Don't put yourself to the side. For fucks sake, do not hold back. Put it on the line. Take the risk, don't do shit that you hate for the wrong reasons. And when you do, learn! Don't wait. Don't make excuses. Your life is now. Live it.
Everyone who matters in your life wants to see you succeed, to be victorious, to see you crushin' and killin', shining and glorious!
Don't let the past destroy your future. Grieve. Break so deeply that you can't be put back together. Get the hate and resentment out of your blood. It's not wrong, it's not bad, but it doesn't work. Air it out with those you trust. Go into the woods and bury it in a hole and let the dirty worms eat it and turn it into forest nutrients.
Don't fucking stop. Write your words, speak your tongue, express your truth, and make love with all the fucking fuck you have.
This is your life. Please, live it fully. As far as I can tell, it's the only one you've got.
This is what it means to be a brother of wisdom. This is what it means to be given the sweet and bitter, tender and beautiful, one gift that is your life. These are my instructions to you, my brother.
Go forth; LIVE!
