"It's about belief in the moment. It's about belief that the world will guide me in the right direction. It's then about trusting everything that flows through me. We align ourselves like an arrow, we draw the string, and hold steady. Now, we're ready. Are we ready? Are we aimed correctly? Yes. Check. Check. Check. Now shoot. Grab another arrow. Shoot. Grab another. Shoot. (I was born for this. I am Cupid. Every arrow I shoot brings more love into the world.)"
"I'm increasingly dedicated to the retail industry at its lowest echelon. I'm thrilled to announce I have two positions now, one at a dollar store and the other organizing, "maintaining," the clothing racks at a secondhand store. I know it's funny for me to be pleased to have two minimum-wage part-time jobs that any high school kid could get. Guys, look: That's how bad it's been. I was the kid with straight-As and a perfect SAT, and I graduated from an Ivy League school."
Inspiration arises from belief in the moment and trusting that the world will guide ideas. Trusting everything that flows through oneself and committing to action—aligning like an arrow, drawing the string, and repeatedly shooting—creates momentum. Preparation differs from action; continuous readiness is not the same as doing. A sharp descent included five months in a homeless shelter, followed by accepting low-level retail work. Self-doubt caused the collapse, and renewed belief enabled recovery. Quitting alcohol contributed to improved mood and clarity. Pride, repeated action, and trust in the process are methods to move life forward.
