HD-SV

I think.  I think there comes a time in everyone's life where a healthy spoonful of self re-definition makes the medicine go down.  Actually, I think that time comes rather regularly.  Some times it suddenly slaps you in the face.  And sometimes it sneaks up on you surreptitiously.

Over the past, oh, decade of my life, I've had [been blessed with??] the chance to step aside and take a look at the girl I like to call "me."  On several occasions.  Sometimes that girl looks a lot like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. 

So I take to shaving. 

(It's true, I shave sometimes.) 

I shave off corners and sand down slivers and polish up all nice like...just in time to find out the hole's now a star, not a circle.

And then I get out my carving kit.

In case no one's told you, you're pretty much in 100% control of one thing--and one thing only--in your frail existence on this earth.  And that would be how you choose to approach whatever is laying, looming or lilting right before you.  That's for sure fire.

And that's were a clear HD-SV comes in real handy. 

HD-SV? you ask.  You know...high-definition self-vision?

It's life like you've never experienced it.

I think of a lot of successful people I know.  People I hope to grow up [or out?...'up' is long since over for me] to be like.

All of them.  Every. single. one. of. them.  Has a clear understanding of who they are and where they are going and what it's going to take to get them there.  They re-define themselves only to the extent that they can approach what they face and come of conquerer...all in accordance with their master plan.  It's not necessarily a makeover so much as it is a making of the masterpiece.

In case you've given pause to wonder...I'll just confirm right now that I've had jobs on the brain.  In a very metaphysical sense.  Jobs...like defined purpose.  It happens when you change venues.  I'm a square peg and the hole is looking a lot like a cross these days.

And without going into detail (that's what the personal journal's for), I just want to say that I read an article today that felt a lot like sandpaper.  But in a good way.  It's honed into the capitalist side of our existence...but I think it's message is spot on:  γνῶθι σεαυτόν.

Is it Greek to you?

Sometimes I feel the same way:

Know Thyself

and I add

In High-Def.
