and I don't read the news, delegating my social conscience to a back seat and accepting a spectator role in the grand sceme of humanity... my mistake (for me) has been doing that in my own life too often by letting fears and foolish failures to forgive myself to get in the way of my being open to opportunities and moving toward what I really want... I do things like diminish myself by disclaiming myself when I might be at my best or wisest... you do it too... here's an example from this entry in your words: "You can�t help anyone deal with their stuff if you haven�t taken care of your own; no matter how bad you may want too." now look at the next line you wrote... I think the self-trust to accept and believe the truth from our own lips is the first step towards the most important achievement anyone can reach in this life, self-actualization... some might say that is blaspheme, that life is a gift from god and it is not for us to presume control or responsibility... and there are those who might say that self-actualization is exactly what god wants pointing to the who free will concept... and I say how can we know if we do not self-actualize?... through faith, of course, but why not go beyond faith and do it and know, one way or another, if we can... you know when you choose to know, when you choose to trust yourself to feel the truth and know you know it... and when you don't, you don't... illusions are real in our minds, made real through belief, our choice is simple, to choose or not to choose... I hope I always remember I prefer to choose, to know, for when I forget I fall hard on myself and wonder why...
