This is probably one of the strangest blogs, I ever written. But it will all make sense. I just had to tell as many people as I could about this, because I think I discovered The Secret, but in my own way, but it's a way we call can relate no matter who we are, where we're from or what we're doing in life at this very moment good or bad.
Ok for context, a weird question. Has there ever been a time in your life, where you remember doing stupid things? Doesn't matter what they are or why you did them, but basically any moment from your childhood, to your adulthood. Whether it's sneaking into a movie theater or doing drugs at certain times or things like that. Things that are often risky, dangerous and even if you survive, you'd most likely get into a lot of trouble. Think about it for a moment. Think about it before you read further.
Anywho, for those who aren't TLDR freaks, listen up.
Over the past 27 years of my 32, soon to be 33 year old life this coming April, I have done a boat load of stupid things. Getting into fights at school and in public, going to war with my own city in one way or another. Got involved in many Controversies and pissing off the wrong people in general. While also living a life of Weed, Booze, Cigarettes and the occasional Hallucinogen, mostly to expand my mind, but still pretty fucking stupid. I thought I was surely gonna either die, get arrested or simply fall into a portal leading directly to Hell itself. But then I realized something. In those years I've also managed to achieve great things. I graduated High School, I worked up the courage to advertise my work on sites like these. Achieving not financial success, but critical success. Making new friends and enemies alike both on the net and in real life. Going on epic adventure after epic adventure, while at the same time doing what I can to protect and help the woman I love. I basically lead the life of a Superhero, without even realizing it until now and while I have yet to achieve success here, I found other ways of succeeding. Some which will take time, but eventually will pay off.
Now at the time, all the stupid shit didn't seem to go anywhere for me, but then I took my reflection of my life to a wider lens. I realized that separately these events don't go anywhere, but together in a sequence that started when I was 5 years old and seems to slowly but surely come to a close in this part of my life. I realized then and there, that all my random stupidity became a dangerous, risky, convoluted, crazy, Master Plan. As a result I was able to find better ways to improve my life and keep moving forward no matter what. And honesty I think it was because I did those stupid things. They caused a ripple effect.
Now I'm not saying try to do more stupid things, but what I am saying, is next time you realize you've done a stupid thing, air your regret, smile and move on. Because you never know. It may not mean much then, but later on, it could save your life. It saved my life and I'm still trying to fight to improve it. Whether you know it or not, the stuff you've all done, stupid or no, matters in your life. Rather than hate it, appreciate it. Who knows, maybe that bad joke you told way back when, would end up being funny now. Or you could stop a nuclear meltdown, playing Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. The possibilities are endless of how much stupidity can pay off. Some can make money off it laughing at it ala Daria. Or show more appreciation to how creative stupidity can get ala Beavis and Butthead. The sky's the limit.
Don't listen to this guy:
Listen to the idiot he's speaking to:
He may not be bright, but he accomplished a lot including but not limited to using his love of food to save his life.
Point being is, that over the years, I looked down on stupidity, because I thought I was superior to it. But that's not true, I can be just as stupid as any other person. I'm only human. But nowadays I seen many great things created by a lot of lovable idiots and I can't wait to see more.
That's the secret, learning to appreciate all aspects of life, including the negative. Especially now that you've learned from it all.
Take care, stay safe and stay tuned for more.
