A STARFISH GOES ABROAD TO SCULPT THE MESSAGE

When we grow up, your elders and teachers instill in you the ways of the world. We’re supposed to learn the rules of engagement in the game of life to thrive. That is society’s blueprint. When I grew up on the streets of NYC I saw a different path, one that was not theirs, but my own.  The road less travelled is hard and lonely but it connect you back to the fundamentals. When you see crowds of millions around you in NYC rising before the sun, going to work in the subway, for other people who control the rules of society you begin to see the game they’ve set up for most of us. It is a mouse trap. Our best life is to live our life inside the world we see and imagine. Our mind is a furnace for change because we can sculpt change by what we choose to do. This is how real sculpting is performed.  

The scope of any life really has no boundaries. Its borders are put there by our fears, beliefs, and dogma we inherited by learning and listening from our friends family and society. Inside, we have the innate ability to unlearn to relearn the blueprint. We control the punchlist on this project. We own the final say on this masterpiece. Life becomes a large possibility when you relaize everything around you is made up by a matrix of people with beliefs who are no smarter than you. 

Once you tap that inner fire you can sculpt life because you can change it, with your ideas. Jason did that above in the video.  You can influence all outcomes the moment you understand that you can change they manner in which you think about any situation your find yourself in. No matter the situation, we can mold it, add to the mix, or stir it up. This maybe the most important lesson we teach oursleves. You beging to realize this is a lesson few people take to heart because it means you are going to have to embrace hardship, refuse cnformity, and begin to enjoy discomfort for the sake of curiosity. If you do not embrace the pain of adaptation you’ll never shake off this erroneous notion that life is like a snapshot. It is static, like a photo there and you're just going to live in it 80 times around the sun and call it a life. Instead, the day you begin to sculpt your ideas in your imagination to do things your way, you refuse to embrace any conformity. You decide to change the way you do things compared to everyone else because you want to improve it, shild leaving your and mark upon it.

If you embrace that fact, what happens to your life? You realize you can choose and deliver yourself many types of masterpieces. Your furnace can adapt to most any situation, circumstance, or environment your dealt. Life your way, becomes easy because you understand how to leverage change to be your friend and not your foe. When you live by their rules, you’ll be told to wait your turn for advancement: to be accepted, to be promoted, to be selected ... to somehow be "discovered" by the world others buld around us. Sculptors do not wait on creation because they know the value of time. They take things into their own hands because they know how to make the decisions to create greatness using the passion of curiosity.  

Curiosity like common sense does not grow in everyone's garden — a state of active interest or genuinely wanting to know more about something — allows you to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, giving you a greater opportunity to experience discovery and joy. We all want to be happy; according to the Dalai Lama, it is "the very purpose of our life." 

Yet despite the incredible advancement of modern-day technology and society, few of us are happy. If ignorance is truly bliss why aren't more people happy? A 2013 Harris Poll found that only one in three Americans say they're very happy. Happiness is linked to the amount and quality of sunlight we get and the people we spend our time with.

Perhaps this is because the majority of our time is spent in unsatisfying work, repetitive daily routines, associating with the wrong people, and at night passively watching a blue-lit flickering screen?? 

But we don't have to settle for unhappy lives. We're all capable of achieving happiness and more meaning in life if we adopt the right attitudes and behaviors and people we spend time with. Perhaps the most important attitude linked to happiness is curiosity. It helps us avoid bullshit beliefs of other people peddle here in this thread and elsewhere.

It always comes back to LIGHT, WATER, and MAGNETISM even when you think it does not.  

Well done, Jason.  Well done.
