I found Love. "The One." Unconditional acceptance. Within me, and without, expressed by how I operate in, and move through, the World. In the writings of Rumi, you can possibly get a feeling of what that is. When it happens to you, with you, for you, you will know. "Reason is powerless in the expression of Love. Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover. The way of our prophets is the way of Truth. If you want to live, die in Love; die in Love if you want to remain alive."

Do everything for Love. For yourself, for others, for the birds and the rocks and the trees and the planet. Have Gratitude for things that come your way, both "good" and "bad," because you are the person you are because of them. Wisdom comes from making mistakes, and from watching others make mistakes. Experience gives us wisdom, and wisdom is like watching someone create something that you absolutely know will fail, but you are excited for them, for their excitement, but it hurts, knowing what they will feel when it does not work. Yes. Empathy is Wisdom.

I suffered a depression episode that lasted 20 years. My Dr. once told me I possibly avoided earlier long-term depression episodes growing up, by my high level of energy and output, sometimes diverted to academic pursuits, sometimes to employment and physical work. As a personal trainer and fitness instructor and an avid cyclist before that, and with my ability to hyper-focus to get things done, I found a level of balance. I got married and my lifestyle changed. Apparently I also don't metabolise calcium well, and it was only by my discovery of research into the effects of Vitamin D3 on the brain, in a random Facebook post on a news feed back in about, maybe, 2012, that I found a path that works for me. D3. That is a therapy that works for me, when meds never did.

I was born with, as I have been told, 7 Celestial Bodies in Scorpio, which is not my Birth Sign. The older I get, the less like my Birth Sign I get, and the more Scorpio I become. Maybe this is why people tell me that in person, I, and in almost every picture I have, too, exude BDE; high sexual energy. It is constantly "On" and it intimidates people, I am told.
Say "Hi," and approach me. I would rather you do that, than avoid me out of maybe a lack of confidence in yourself.

Passion is no ordinary word. Do everything you do, with passion. If you cannot do it with passion, why are you doing it? Going the extra mile is not what you do if you do everything with passion, except in comparison with others. Measure yourself differently, and compare only with yourself. Today you can do more things, and better things, than maybe yesterday, or last week, or last year. Every moment, every day, we can do better than what we did before. That is how I do it.
