Seems like a blatantly obvious question. How about, it depends?

Obviously, getting something accomplished is always satisfying, working hard, and getting nothing accomplished is not satisfying.

So if you get something accomplished, completed, etc., it can be very fulfilling. Otherwise, you’re just wasting your time or beating your head against the wall.

Just my humble opinion, as I have experienced complete fulfillment from hard work as well as zero fulfillment.

As always, thank you for reading…

Feelings are just like colors on a painter’s pallet. Each quite vivid and unique.

What a value most about myself is a very very double edge sword. My empathy is what I value the most about myself. It is also what I have despise the most about myself too. Many or most people throughout my life, haven’t understood what this is or how it works. Something I make it up, or other others think I’m a drama queen which I’m not. However, I really get a good read on people, and that comes in very handy and lots of situations like meetings and work and other things. Also, it helps me with my friends. I know when to say and what to say at most times because I can read them. Not 100% sometimes I make mistakes we’re all human, but my empathy does help a lot.

Any of my friends and ex spouses, etc. have never understood how this works. Some were afraid, and others thought I was just full of BS.

The hard part is most of my life going back to my young young years. I’ve had this, and there was no definition or explanation for what it was or what it meant.

Until more recently, when the terms empath or sensitive person became part of the current lexicon of our language.

It also I realize it has helped me with my writing, creating much more vivid imagery in it, as well as with my musicianship. I always seem to know the right time to come in how loud how much just by feel. I can read the music fine and I can read very well, but I can also play by feel something I couldn’t do without my empathy.

I also have love for everyone, this is often abused and taken advantage of, but all impacts really care about everybody. I think in some ways we are healers as well as storytellers and even life coaches from our mistakes.

The hard part of being an empath as you know when people are lying to you were about 100% accuracy. And I’ve seen some of the closest people to me in my life lie to my face over and over and knowing they were lying. Also, people hate you. You can feel their hate and it’s the worst.

I feel we do help a lot of people they just don’t realize it, but that’s OK. As long as we know. As challenging as it is to have this gift, I have found that it has actually assisted me and almost every aspect of my life, and I’d be blind without it. 

As always, thank you for reading.

I’m proud of all of my family heritage and am glad I am here to talk about it.

My paternal heritage is Italian so I am half Italian and I do love Italian cooking, the art, history.

My maternal heritage is a little different. I am a quarter Armenian and a quarter Lithuanian.

I am very proud of my Armenian heritage and glad that I am talking to you now. As my great grandparents were both murdered in the 1917 genocide in Turkey. I hold no hatred towards those that killed them. If anything, I have learned the art of love and tolerance of all races and creed and beliefs. Provided they don’t hurt anybody. I’ve been that way ever since childhood. I feel that when atrocities happen we all must learn to tolerate other people and their beliefs.

Massive wars and death have resulted from intolerance. Hatred bigotry all those terrible things. That’s a lesson that I have learned from what happened to my family and my inherited trauma from what happened.

Someday the world will learn and understand that hatred is stupid. That we all bleed the same red all have the same organs and are all part of the human race.

I humbly apologize to all my readers, but I will be abstaining from the question today. This feels like a marketing/data mining ploy in my humble opinion.

As always, thank you for reading hopefully we’ll get a better question of the day tomorrow.

I could write more, a lot more, but then I’d never do anything else. I could work out more but then I’d be sore all the time. I couldn’t get on a more strict diet, but those are hard to maintain and I end up breaking them.

The Law of Diminishing Returns proves (in theory and graphically) that too much of anything is never good. I do understand that this is applied to the principle of production and management, but you could easily apply it to almost anything.

Be it something extreme, or something even moderate. Too much of anything is never a good thing.

Life is a balance with: balance in your work, balance in your play, balance in your love life, balance in your diet, how complex you make your drum solo on a music chart, etc.

We could always do more of everything, but that could be too much and that’s all I’m saying. Ergo… “everything in moderation”. 😀

As always, thank you for reading…

The best advice I ever received was from myself. Some crucial lessons I’ve learned are listed below:

1. Be present never get caught up in the past or worry about the future so much.

2. Whatever is meant to be will happen and the rest will never work out so don’t sweat it. Trust in God/Universe/Source that what is meant for you will find you.

3. You are not the sum product of your mistakes, you are made up of the lessons you learned.

4. Love yourself if you want to be loved by others. If you don’t, you’ll choose people won’t.

5. Divine timing is real and happens everyday.

6. Karma is real, do good by others, even those that have wronged you. Trust me you’ll get what you deserve in the long run and so will they.

7. Forgive all who’ve wronged you, not doing so doesn’t punish them, it punishes you instead.

As always thank you for reading…
