mike again

Hey brother, thanks for all the kind words. All apologies for the delay in response, I picked up more work at the farm this past week and kinda threw me out of whack. I have another week of extra hours this week coming up also. I loved so many things about your reply: "Our ability to interact socially undermines our ability to be social." really stuck with me as I was reflecting about that this week. I'm (for the first time in a while) considering what goals I want to accomplish. I would like to think that I'm not intimidated by fear of success, but sometimes, I must admit, I look back and I see signs of that in my own life. I've been contemplating on how 'big' I should go. I don't have any doubt that I, like most folks, could achieve at least a majority of tasks I set my mind to ... so why haven't I been I setting my sights as high as possible? Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others. I wrote out my mission statement a couple weeks ago and it sent something like this: Save The World, Kill Fear, Battle Rap. (I don't know if i told you but I've been tirelessly working on my craft, rapping) I've been thinking relentlessly on how to complete this mission, cause if I'm not doing this than what the f*** am I even here for? I wouldn't mind at all sacrificing
