4 Pillars of Life by Steve Connerton
With the vacations upon us and because of the truth that I haven’t wrote shit in a while now, I need to get a bit sappy, however on the similar time REAL AF – the one means we current ourselves at Skateboarding Saves.
With the “Darkish Winter” (Hey, I didn’t say that shit) creeping up on our asses, I believe it’s time to place out these constructive 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 delight 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 firms, 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?
Effectively, I believe on the finish of the day, there’s extra lies than there’s fact with loads of these teams. Clearly there are good teams on the market as nicely, simply as there are good white folks, shitty white folks, good black folks, shitty black folks, goo… do I really want to proceed?
Closing assertion – I wish to base each interplay on a person and vitality foundation. Race is race, you need to kick that round all day, have enjoyable, you’re letting the darkish aspect win (in the event you by some means 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 nowadays and it makes me so completely happy that I’m Skateboarder and that I’ve an (unpaid) job inside the Skateboarding World. I’ve seen loads 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.
Nevertheless, the one technique to overcome all-time low and self-hate is to be on the surface trying 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 actually loving myself. Like for actual this time.
After I put this into follow I’m a constructive particular person. When I’m a constructive particular person I overcome the unfavourable bullshit that I feared earlier than after I was a unfavourable fuck.
With LOVE, I’m now comfy in my very own pores and skin and simply need to share that constructive vitality with others.
World Peace
The large wigs may not like this one an excessive amount of, however World Peace is subsequent on the checklist. After I say World Peace, I’m not saying no army 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 army forces?
I evaluate this to rising up in Philly and getting into the unsuitable neighborhood. I knew after I did this I used to be searching for hassle, and 9 occasions out of 10, I discovered it. I’ve a number of accounts of stompings to the pinnacle and ribs. So yeah, I like peace and never getting kicked within the head whereas outnumbered.
I really feel for international locations which will really feel that means in relation 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.
