I want you to really think about our grandparents generation. Black and white tv, Andy Griffith Show, marry one woman, work one job, raise kids and own a house = winning.

Now think of today’s world. The ship has lost course and is sailing for the God damned rocks.

You need to acknowledge this because these forces are in the world telling you a thousand times an hour you’re not good enough. Buy this, sign up for this, do this, be this and maybe some day you’ll be good enough. I don’t know your religious views but Jesus was saying you are inherently worthy of love just by being you. You are worthy of love including your own love. You already feel God’s love, you feel the love of friends and family, but you are questioning whether you are worthy of love. All you have to be in this life is a good person man and even that is going to get fuked up sometimes.

If you think taking up a new art form like guitar or painting will help you, a new hobby like skiing or surfing, a new meetup group like yoga or rec soccer, a night school class that will help you get a better job, whatever it is, yeah do it man but do it out of love for yourself and others around you. Your thoughts are empowering or disempowering and believe it or not through controlling our thoughts even this can be a choice. God gave us the powers of love, free will, forgiveness, understanding and compassion. We have to use those super powers as we go through life and too often we don’t use them on ourselves when we should.

Strong truth. But if there is one thing ive learned in life is that being a good man isnt quod enough
