In keeping with the ongoing Rollins theme:

Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.



I have been trying to live my life like that; I need reminders every now and then...
I seem to go through periods of serious work and travel and meeting new people, and staying in touch with friends, and seeing and doing new things, etc...
Then... sometimes... I hit the wall...
I have a hard time getting anything done, stuff that normally doesn't bother me can become crushing, relationships that aren't what they once were are now devastating rather than something to be worked on...
I have a hard time pretending to be the one in control, the one people come to with their problems at all hours, the one totally at ease in any situation...

I actually can be that guy most of the time, but when I'm not, there's not many people who know the other version of me...
Not many people I can call in the same way they can always call me...

So... while I currently find myself (hopefully) on the verge of what feels like an upswing, these are some of Rollins' other words I am trying to live by while trying to keep the momentum going...

"Want a good body? Work at it. Want to be a success? Work at it. Want to be truly exceptional? Be a touch insane... You need a little bit of insanity to do great things."

We'll see how that turns out...

Hope you all are well...




*Addendum: I couldn't figure out how to have SG list my Facebook and Twitter pages (yes, I am a geek), so FB is in the "Myspace" space and Twitter is in the "Flickr" space... Come see me in both places...
