Maverick – One who thinks and acts independently. If you’re looking for a short answer to “Who am I?”, that would be it. An independent yet understanding mind. A modern-day philosopher, giving ignorance and pretention an ongoing beatdown. My honesty, integrity, and lucidity are both my greatest strengths and my greatest weaknesses. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are a few observations that have helped define my outlook:
Our reality is a paradox both created and reconciled by perspective.
Emotion is the shadow of instinct. More specifically, the basic survival instinct, fear. Positive emotions represent triumphs over it, negative emotions represent succumbing to it. Point is, the source is instinct, the source is fear. Emotions should be treated as instincts. They should help you, not own you. Enhance your reasoning, not replace it.
Egotism is a growing concern. With too many people talking and not enough listening, we are depriving ourselves and each other of knowledge and wisdom, and demonstrating that we can actually say too little by saying too much.
Competence leads to confidence, and confidence leads to serenity.
