So what I have learned is this.  Some people enjoy the rain.  Some the sunshine, while others
adapts and deals with the weather they choose to feel.  Unconditional conditions are the rules
that offer limitless results.  Those that are justified in performing when they see fit, are
not truly committed to the cause they wave their flag at.  In my opinion, people like that come and
go without being felt.  They may have been seen for public viewing, but not felt because they and
that level of emotion and participation can be easily replaced.  Its the one that is dedicate to
paying the price of admission into the kingdom of life that make the difference.  The one that can
admire the game and not worry about what they can get out of it, and want to better it for the next
person to follow.  Pride, passion and participation, breeds performance, perseverance and a
positive principle of properly understanding the moment.  This can not be taught, though trial
and error through experience can determine a definition one can relate to.  But where and
what fuels this engine and fire is a feeling.  A feeling where you know what you don't know or
can not explain, but can identify by its rare form of expression to you.  You don't know why, but
you know why not based on how it feels.  Its that fine line of joy & pain, love & hate and
success and failure that makes it what it is.  Its the difference between living and surviving,
settling or striving, constantly searching or barely looking.  This feeling is what makes us get
up in the morning.  Makes your job what it is, or your career what it will be.  Its a never
ending journey into the abyss that we are looking at, and fear is what gives you the strength
to keep going on.  For some its a moment.  Some of phase and others a lifelong mission.  
Its why enough is not enough, and why those that seek out to perfect perfection are alone,
not lonely.  So I say to you right now, think of this moment, and place yourself in it, out of it
and all around it.  Label it, categorize it and title it.  Name it what you want and try to explain
it.  Now this will be hard because you are standing alone and not operating within the
parameters of society as a whole.  But you must make the choice, be heard as your own
voice and generate the force of energy to be heard, or blend in and harmonize with the
masses in they key the select for you to perform in.  Its a tough choice, but a choice you
are currently making.  I made my selection and I tried and cried alone in doing so.  
That's because I'm trying to beat the odds, evenly -
