...given to me by my buddy Rudi:
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways, truer answers, or more beautiful, promising potentialities
...wise words from one so hung over

I love this thought.
It's when we are the most humbled possibly? When our sense of confidence and bravado is stripped away........and we don't expect anything?
Ah, here I go again -- rambling on to you that not only is there wisdom to be found in the muck and mire of our lives, but in the joy as well. Sometimes I can only see the truth when I lift my heart to joy. I don't mean the spankety-pankety kind of sugary smiley faced joy -- but the joy that comes when we let ourselves get gobsmacked by grace, slapped silly by love. (but you knew that )
i wonder when our souls are at their most powerful and how that looks?
...and what the difference between humility and lack of self worth...and how that affects confidence and bravado?
and wisdom from joy...ramble away my friend - i need to hear it
'...and what the difference between humility and lack of self worth...and how that affects confidence and bravado?'
if anyone can answer that i'll send them a mars bar. i guess somewhere in here there is a questioning of our selves and what we mean by 'I'. it's a tricky one.
Mr T - very - but with a mars bar on offer...
...you never know
Love love love the words. I could not agree with them more. Some of the best decisions in my life have happened during the most difficult times of my life.
Cheers,
Scott
wise words indeed - reassuring and stimulating
I'll leave the mars bar for someone else though ;)
Humility is understanding one's worth accurately in the larger scheme of things. Lack of self worth is assuming one has no worth, and it renders one unable to see ones self accurately. Confidence is just a relaxed acceptance of who we are. Bravado is pushy and annoying and inflated. It comes from the terrifying vulnerability felt by those who have lack of self worth. It is the shell grown to hide the wound and to push others away from seeing it.
IMO anyway...now do I get at least part of a Mars bar? a nibble?
Mr T, what do you think? Should we send Mata at least part of the mars bar?
gadzooks! mata, i think you deverve a whole bag of fun size mars bars!
mata

it's seeing the terrifying vulnerability instead of the pushy annoying inflated bravado that is so hard at times
