Just continuing to merely exist from day to day is quite the effort….to put it lightly.

To awaken is to cease entirely, I’m afraid

I feel like it’s worth mentioning that whenever I put forth a Words of Wisdom, it’s always with not only the intent to provide some genuine insight or encouragement, but through the lens of practicality to boot. That’s why sometimes, what I put forth might seem rather basic or remedial, but it is often times the most fundamental of truths or commonly overlooked realities of our everyday that mean the most in terms of the strength of their simplistic practicality, and just how invaluable they are in empowering our everyday in meaningful ways…that, and sometimes I’m dead tired, so my offered pearls of wisdom may not shine as brightly from time to time, but I know that those that may read them, may be plagued with tiredness too, and someone who still shows up, even when they’re next to dead to provide some genuine support, is a real one, and that’s the kind of energy I like to throw out into the world.

With that said, the Words of Wisdom today are “Magnifying Modality”. What does that mean, you may ask? Well, put simply, it means putting focus on the way one lives, and be committed to the modality of your own traversal, in whatever means that entails, by making sure one truly revels authentically in their own chosen modality of life. So if you are using a road map for example, be sure to actually use it; pay attention to it, rely on it, get comfortable understanding it. If that’s the way you wish to go about traveling, make sure to actually do it, and not be flippant or hypocritical in your own terms of navigation.

Conversely, if you are opting to wander aimlessly, then embrace that thought process with full bodied enthusiasm, and meander wildly on whim with whimsy and energetic gusto. Be curious, don’t be afraid to explore your options, do not hesitate to improvise on the fly, and embrace the notion of getting lost and taking the long way around. Living not just authentically, but with the mindfulness of following through with one’s chosen modality of action, helping to compliment the preferred moment in time in how one lives. This kind of thoughtfully literal living will most certainly help you reap a richer harvest of enjoyment out of whatever everyday you are attempting to cultivate, no matter what form that takes.

Different modalities for different maniacs…just be sure to truly own yours.

As always, take care of yourself, and others.
