four things.

There are four things I choose to be, in no particular oder:

Compassionate. Aggressive. Confident. Peaceful.


Compassionate, because nothing is more fulfilling than a life full of love. There is no quality or substance humanity needs more, craves more, and lacks more than love. So I choose to love.

Aggressive because life requires ambition. And nothing wistful. Aggressive, determined, focussed ambitions. Every night I can sink into the most restful sleep because I finished a day from which I sprang from my bed, committed to conquer the most dangerous parts of my world. And I do conquer. I'm driven by sheer willpower and life-aggression.

Confident because I know I am worth the world. I learn my skills, strengths, and unique abilities, and I know the existence of the universe is improved because of who I am. God created me for keeps.

Peaceful because we seek nothing more than peace. The greatest deeds and the foulest crimes are committed in the name of peace. And real as my imperfections are, goodness is the truer peaceful nature of me, just as it is for anyone. So I choose to be peaceful.
