So I had a guy call me a Moron the other day in one of my post threads. He called me this name because Legend was hanging upside down in the back seat of my SUV while we were driving in the snow, and he wasnt wearing a seatbelt. We were driving 5 miles per hour in a foot of fresh pow pow and were the only car on the road, besides a Jeep we drove by who was parked on the side of the road (I think the driver was smoking a joint actually!) You can see the video & this guys comment down below on my wall. Anyway, so this guy calls me a Moron. First of all, Id rather be more ON, than OFF - so no offense taken. He was just pointing out that he thinks Im kool :) Second, heres how I feel about name calling. Its something I used to do as well, when I judged people. I used to label people based on qualities of their personality that I didnt like - or things I thought were wrong about them or how they showed up. The truth is, when we make others wrong, its easy to label, judge, and name call. Now sure, we could easily say, What about them, dont I like about myself, but the truth is, that sometimes we attract people who say & do things to (and for) us, that we dont like. Maybe they irritate us, get under our skin, or even intentionally (or unintentionally) hurt us. So, how can we, as Bruce Lee would say, be like wahtah, when someone calls us a name? How can we conform to be more lucid & flexible, and stop taking everything so personal? How can we stop looking for things to be offended by? How can we love ourselves so much, so that when others say or do things that might otherwise pain us, we say, “thanks for letting me know how you feel”, shrug it off, and continue effortlessly without ever thinking about it twice? Simple. Chose to be ok with it. Learn to listen to others opinions, without making them your own, or being influenced by anything they say that doesnt feel good. Chose to pull when being pushed. Chose to push, when being pulled. Tell yourself that it’s ok, “because there is nothing wrong here”, and begin to see a new possibility for yourself and your life. Because shit is never what happens to you (or for you), but how you respond to it. See if for the next 365 days, that you refrain from calling someone else names. No matter how angry, how upset, no matter how hurt you feel. When you do this, you’ll see how quickly you feel at ease, no matter what the circumstances, the situation, or the conditions. And at the end of the day, when you keep from calling other people names, you’ll notice that others stop calling you names as well. Oh, there will always be one. One jackass that is!! lol But just know this - it won’t be me ;-) Be safe & have fun my friends!
