My days have been absolute sadness since about a month ago that my girl left but every day I have to remember this is not happening TO ME it’s just happening. I got to live this and experience every bit of it with an open mind and heart. Cheers to all lonely Men out here.

I do it every day. But I also slow down in the middle of it all. I sometimes just sit and think. I'm pretty good at suffering. But happiness is so much better.

Ryan you never cease to amaze me. I have been watching your videos for years and I know how hard you work even when you’re under the weather ❤

,,M.A. is M.A. because everything went wrong" hit different.

[@Ajax2696]

It’s like the Zen story of the Tiger and the Dragon. There is a tiger in a mountain and a dragon in the skies they both conceive each other to be at the highest point then they see each other and before striking each other the tiger must go a few steps back and the dragon must recede into the clouds in order to wind up to get enough force. Yet before the strike the tiger and dragon seemed to be retreating from each other in fear.
Moral: we must embrace strength with humility even if it means taking a few steps back to regather our strength
