Had a great conversation with one of the guys I'm staying at the Hostels with this weekend (by "the Hostel", I'm referring to the USAHostel loc in San Francisco - http://www.usahostels.com/sanfrancisco/index.html). How'd I end up at the hostel again? Had some business in SF, so rather than doing the public transport for 2 hours, I figured since I was in SF for the weekend, might as well relish in the energy and new friends of the Hostel - for $26/night including all the good stuff on their website, one just can't go wrong.
Anyhow, had a great conversation with Julian (a 37yr. old former professional soccer player) earlier about the value of supporting each other as we navigate our way to finding a sense of purpose. People have such potential and possibility, but often get skewed due to our circumstances .... once behind on life management stuff or any other accountabilities, there's definitely a greater propensity to get stressed and frustrated - to succumb to the overwhelm and be left broken more than being made. The latter is typically a post disaster reflection (hopefully not). Most of us profoundly shift due to desperation over inspiration. To be standing and moving forward due to inspiration, it's so important to reach out to each other and support each other while giving space to our pasts and what's being experienced in the present. We've all made mistakes, we've all made blunders in the past, hurt people, been dishonest, been adamant, cut someone off in the pursuit of being right, etc .... and it's just what happened - past tense.
Right now, we're in "what's happening", what will you create now?
