There's one little thing I'd like to share with everybody which is always quite ironic to me that it still exists and hopefully I'm gonna start eradicating it with your help. You know when you walk into a shop, usually a bar,car dealership,or jewelry store etc. Someone comes up to you and they pop a smile. You look at them and your not quite sure if you can trust that smile. Usually because they've forced their muscles on their face to peel back their teeth.It doesn't mean that their really happy to see you or that their really your friend. Their just putting on a fake smile. Well we see these fake smiles everywhere. The thing is that these fake smiles that are trying to sell us something whether it be a informercial, a retail store, or anyplace where someone's trying to hustle you for something. Its not authentic,its not genuine and the truth is their probably pretty miserable.

We have to try and figure out how to get genuinely happy. But where does that genuine happiness come from.I guess we gotta start by looking inside and finding out what's inside, where our dreams are, what they are, and chase those dreams down. I think thats the only way you'll be happy. Being truthful to yourself,being organic being free. The best thing I can tell you to do for somebody is give them some form of validation. Pass on the knowledge that you've learned through your own life experiences or from people that has passed it down to you. Some of my most peaceful moments in life has been building houses for families, teaching boxing physical fitness & health to kids in homeless shelters and tutoring my fellow inmates in Prison. Even just listening to people I care about talk for hours has taught me a lot.

For me it just goes to show that we are here to serve each other. That could be the purpose of living.To serve each other and to help each other grow and move forward. Some people will use you up and throw you out. You cant help that. They're people who just don't care about you sometimes but that shouldn't be an excuse for you to go on living in fear of being hurt or passing on that same pattern of self beneficial irreverence to someone else.I guess thats why I'm so loving and I refuse to be anything other then that.In a cynical world where people don't dare to be loving because they feel like its weakness but the truth is.We are all weak, we all can die tomorrow, all of us can get run-over, shot!! Numerous diseases can strike us down so we are all vulnerable we're all in the same boat.We all live under the same sun.

People need to shake that fear and stop passing it on to others.As soon as we learn how to start supporting each other and loving each other and stop thinking strictly about the money and start thinking about the integrity of our dreams and how we're gonna serve one and other.Thats when we'll get it together on this planet. Maybe then people wont be selfish and we can all find love & happiness.

Thank you:)I used to be very unforgiving.I now try to be more understanding towards others.I can throw a snap like anybody else but I've come along way from the way I used to be..I feel better about myself when I can see through the clouds and not get overcome with rage when something goes wrong.My old ways still follow me but I don't have to look back and repeat them.

Word is bond. You're preaching to the choir...Just as we are all vulnerable beings---we are also beings that, by way of self-preservation, wear many different masks specific to the occassion...It is when we are able to 'peel off our masks' that we can then seek what is true in nature to each of us. Just like in martial arts---we strip away the unessential until what is left is the truth. Our ultimate goal as martial artists (and people) should not be focused on the mere destruction of our 'enemy' but, by virtue, become their healer. Only until we learn the art of healing are we going to be ready for the next phase. True growth...

The question is: "Who's gonna go first?"

To add:
Unfortunately, our own selfish motives cloud the path---hence, we stray & fall short. The inequities of the human condition is the gauge with which we judge ourselves and are revealed to others...

Very Beautiful as well as insightful and honest. I absolutely agree with you and work hard everyday to just act nice to everyone as well as trying to help people. I am fortunate enough to be involved in multiple volunteer work situations and it is just amazing. It is so easy to get caught up in the monetary whirlpool as well as the general materialism that exists in these days but it only takes one action or even one thought to start making a change. I applaude your willingness to be loving, honest and just a good person, there are few people in the world today who will stand up for those things. I have lost many of the people whom I have loved and felt closest to in my life and now I try to cherish everyone because as you said it is so easy to lose the ones you cherish most.
Much love and aloha Stan!

What is life with-out happiness? How can one be happy if they’re not true to themselves? Questions commonly asked by those of us who analyze life. To be aware of principles and ways of indifference can separate one from the rest. What is happiness? To answer such a question may require concentrated thought. To look within oneself and truly find your bliss may answer the question within. For some, happiness is monetary or may consist of physical or materialistic beauty, and these “materialistic” things may be a quick fix to happiness. Temporary happiness is just that. We must find out what will fill or soles with happiness. Each individual is different. Love is all part of happiness. Love some may say is one of the purest forms of happiness.

It is amusing to think that one could ever call love a weakness. Every person has craved love some time in their lives. To love is to live, and without love what is living? Love is as essential to us as breath is to life. We as human beings crave love from the moment we enter the world. We crave an embrace from our parents, and a want of acceptance. This recognition is quite an amazing task.

You are a deep individual and I can only say from what I have read I have the deepest respect for you. I know I have truly found a lifelong friend. Take care and remember always think things through. It is the only way to prevent regret.

thats awesome.... and spoken so well. i'm impressed, the world needs to make more MEN like you.


The funny thing is that most people, who actually think about what their purpose on this earth is, or the meaning of life; think that they'll get satisfaction through material things. when in reality its not about that. its not about things that money can buy, its about the things money can't buy. and more importantly its not about "having" the things you want. its about " wanting" the things you have. and making do with whatever cards that LIFE deals to you.

I think one of the biggest ways to make a impact on this earth while were here, is to raise good kids, that turn into good adults and make good choices within every aspect of their lives. Teaching them to love and respect themselves and everyone they meet. You'll be suprised... if you really think about how much people you've met up until this point in your life, thats a pretty big number. Now imagine how much of those people you've left with a positive impression of yourself and of life, even if it was for a brief moment. Thats pretty amazing.... The more i think of it, the more effort i want to put into being a more postive person.
=)

Well we should touch more on these issues and others the next time i see you. have a great evening.
and thanks for shares those thoughts with me and the rest of the world =) ttyl
