People walking all over you. Ever so overflexible. Unable to establish and execute clear bearings. And clueless for good measure. Get a grip my friend. Set a stance. Don't be clueless and lost for the rest of your life. Yeah, maybe there is a certain comfort in going with the flow, adapting to anything and everything. But it dilutes you. It makes you an amorphous blob. Yes, you should flow like a river. Adaptive in your continuum, avoiding unrequired friction. But you also need the directive clarity and transformative heat of fire. Adaptive evolution, catalytic evolution. Two sides of the one coin of life. And you need to have them both, in order to have currency in your existence. Emotion and intuition, tempered with reason and analytical examination. A dual stream with concrete checks and balances to make sure you're not vibing off the random hallucination in your life of interactions. How-so-ever deep and high your intuition, will it present before your mind's eye a systemic matrix of actuality before you? Probably not. So please snap out of the obsession with emotion and intuition only. Apply reason, apply analytical thought. These two are not antagonistic. They are complementary. They are both required. Intuition and inspiration to break open new pathways, open the gates. But reason, logic, analytical rigor to assemble all of that into a functioning and balanced whole. You cannot ever hope to become a well-rounded and complete individual by slanting yourself toward one or the other. Much less eliminating one and absorbing yourself in the other โ€” whether emotion or reason. Does the voice of reason resonate? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Depends on any number of things. The real question is, does that reason correlate with actuality? Does it compile into the living world you're looking at? If it does, then capitulate, yield your emotion before reason. Because unrooted intuition, not tethered to the real world, to what is, it leads you astray. So please, apply that transformative fire toward clarity and coherence in your life of interactions. Operating with the support of clear and grounded reason is a service for all of us. Hold the integrity of your conclusions. Stay true to your directions. Otherwise, how will you ever progress in your life?
