TRUST

Imagine a sand castle.

A wave, another, a whole tide washes it away

And you build again.

It's futile sure, but while the work disappears, the effort lost,

the skills remain.

You began with a mound of wet sand.

Satisfied with its simple ability to stick together.

It's destroyed

Over time, after many many tides

You build a fucking masterpeice.

It's destroyed

but

the skills remain.

Sand each grain like a moment

Some moments slide by un-noticed

but most define your life.

Water can be adhesive or destructive

Time is relentless

things always change always grow

but

as we grow

the skills remain.

Fortunately our lives are

more dynamic

less binary than simply existing or not existing

As we pass through the tides we are not destroyed

we are in-fact strengthened

and

the skills we build stay with us

this you can rely on

TRUST

Wether we apply it to our selves our situation our partner our people.

It is a feeling of safety and predictability that develops over time

It is slow to build

It is nice to have

It is hard to loose

But it is more a belief than an indicator

You can have it while waves of lies pick away the grains of sand.

It is always an illusion.

A very powerful and necessary illusion that is

central to the skill of constructing a life.

Regardless of wether the water is adhesive or destructive in your reality.

Your vision and skill collide in every moment with an opportunity to choose.

Will you construct or destroy the illusion?

Either way you only control you.

But the fact that you can do that much..

well...

It's enough to build a hell of a life.

You have what it takes to create what you want

GO FOR IT

and while your at it, don't forget to

Play often

Utilize Curiosity Creativity and Kindness

Defend the Sacred

Stay Brilliant

and maybe go play with the ocean.
