4 Pillars of Life by Steve Connerton
With the vacations upon us and on account of the truth that I haven’t wrote shit in a while now, I wish to get a little bit sappy, however on the identical time REAL AF – the one method we current ourselves at Skateboarding Saves.
With the “Darkish Winter” (Hey, I didn’t say that shit) creeping up on our asses, I feel it’s time to place out these optimistic vibrations to have our minds proper.
Name me a loopy cat turd, however I consider that with these 4 pillars of life our lives on this ball might be improved exponentially if we may simply get previous the primary of those pillars.
World Reality
As we all know, this begins on the high. I take pleasure within the transparency I exude, not solely as a tech nerd, however as a human. Transparency and fact that’s unfiltered or fucked with. The God’s fact some might name it.
Regardless, it’s a lot wanted and I can’t say this extra, it begins on the high.
This goes for companies, people and the crimson and predominately blue groups that run our nation. I’ve by no means seen extra division in my 39 and three/4s years right here.
I’ve seen the infinite quantity of teams which have flip up during the last decade that divide greater than unite.
Why is that this?
Properly, I feel on the finish of the day, there’s extra lies than there’s fact with quite a lot of these teams. Clearly there are good teams on the market as properly, simply as there are good white individuals, shitty white individuals, good black individuals, shitty black individuals, goo… do I really want to proceed?
Closing assertion – I wish to base each interplay on a person and power foundation. Race is race, you wish to kick that round all day, have enjoyable, you’re letting the darkish aspect win (if you happen to someway pull some race shit with that assertion, you’re a fucking fool).
You’ll all the time discover extra fact with the person than with the group. Reference whisper down the lane circa 1st grade.
World Love
It is a given you’d suppose, however most of us hate one another lately and it makes me so blissful that I’m Skateboarder and that I’ve an (unpaid) job inside the Skateboarding World. I’ve seen quite a lot of shit in my life. I’ve lived the exact opposite of what I’m writing about proper now.
The truest and most cliche assertion that’s 100% on level is that you just can’t love others till you like your self. It took me about 39 years to get there (with treatment).
I spent a lot time hating myself and faking the funk.
Nonetheless, the one approach to overcome all-time low and self-hate is to be on the skin wanting in. You gotta let go of that Ego; you gotta let go of the Worldly object hungry bullshit. You’re taking any of that shit with you once you exit.
I’ve come to phrases with a lot in my life by really loving myself. Like for actual this time.
Once I put this into observe I’m a optimistic particular person. When I’m a optimistic particular person I overcome the destructive bullshit that I feared earlier than after I was a destructive fuck.
With LOVE, I’m now snug in my very own pores and skin and simply wish to share that optimistic power with others.
World Peace
The large wigs may not like this one an excessive amount of, however World Peace is subsequent on the checklist. Once I say World Peace, I’m not saying no navy or no cops, I’m saying defend your personal nation and abide by legislation, however simply keep by yourself fucking turf. Simply as cops have a jurisdiction, why can’t navy forces?
I evaluate this to rising up in Philly and getting into the mistaken neighborhood. I knew after I did this I used to be on the lookout for hassle, and 9 instances out of 10, I discovered it. I’ve a number of accounts of stompings to the top and ribs. So yeah, I like peace and never getting kicked within the head whereas outnumbered.
I really feel for international locations that will really feel that method relating to how the peace is delegated.
World Happiness
Final cease – World Happiness
This one is the straightforward half as a result of with the entire above now you can lead a cheerful life.
