Scrambled cities: If you're not gonna do the work(on your soul), then you might as well work til you die

 There are two tiers in normal life. Those who are survive and those who thrive.  But nothing is a mistake in life: Nothing comes by chance. You have to prepare for it.  If you thought life was about making money and beating out the Jones's, you've lost already.  Life is: Desire for connection. All unhealthy competition is isolating. We live in an isolated-enough world already. This connection comes from a surprising place: Self-acceptance. A lot of us need to go back to the classroom. A lot of us need to take a silent breather and check in with what we need. This takes serious work. It's the real work. It relies on respect for others and self-respect.  A lot of people in the self-help community try to push the self aside: Manning up is the only side of it they see. But there are certain non-negotiables in this life. Certain things we can't cheat ourselves out of. We are not a piece of meat being acted on.    However, this is where God comes in. Some o...

Maestro's sandwich boutique

When Maestro packed his day, he made sure to do so with the greatest of care.
He never held back on the things that counted. 

And when he made his prize-winning sandwiches, it was the same. 
How some people raged against the order of their soul, he couldn't understand... 

What it took to believe was a simple treatment of oneself like a human being
"We're not animals, after all," He said to himself. 

In an interview with the local papers, Maestro said: 

"When I wake up, I'm sure to treat my day like a bistro" 

The interviewer looked puzzled. 

"Well," Maestro said, "I see you are confused as to my meaning," 

"Yes I am" admitted the reporter. 

"It's like this", came Maestro's reply: 

"Every morning"

" If I don't take 5 minutes to write down my thoughts,"
"If I don't pray, and take a few minutes, however short" 
"To run around the lawn outside my home"
"If I don't take time to keep in touch with my friends..."
"My whole day is like a dry brief sandwich."

You see, maestro knew that, just as with sandwiches, life 
works the same. It's always the little things that counted
more than we realized. 

"So make your own life a sandwich boutique.
However small the time you spend doing the things you love,
Do them...Each and every morning"
