#39 “Oh, yes I did. I won my life back. YOU don’t run me, and THEY don’t run me!” Mitch McDeere - The Firm 1993
If we could take our life back, re-gain control of the parts we somehow have mistakenly lost control of, would we be happy? Is there a part of our life we think we've already lost? A part that maybe someone or something has gained control of? As we look into our microscope of life, we see the make up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Yet, how do we get back to the core of life.... the nucleus in ourselves.
If life is a science experiment.... do we test to see if it blows up? Or do we carefully put all the elements together and mix risk with the hope for reward?
If it takes an electron to create the negative charge and a proton to enhance the positive effects of an atom, how can we surround ourselves with neutrons that neutralize our life? Are neutrons our friends, our colleagues, our families? I once believed that science experiments were like mini volcanoes.. I couldn't wait to blow something up. Watch the elements battle for power and erupt all over the place. Once we see that our life is an actual science experiment I decided to keep the experiment under control. Waiting for it to blow up or explode just didn't seem like the proper outcome.
So... are you the nucleus? Do you manage to keep it all under control, all surrounded safe and tidy within your core? Are you the experiment in your life or in it for others?
Someway or another we watch people gain and re-gain control of their lives. They find themselves in situations of intervention, weakness and tragedy. When someone is accomplished, do we automatically assume they were careful in their experiment with life? I often at times believe that positivity is the best outlook. However, negative things do happen... and it takes that neutral person, event, or circumstance to level the molecule during the ultimate face off.
There is a time in our life that signifies what we want to win back. Sometimes we just don't know what it is.
We compete to find that happiness and that resolution to the greatest question of all... "what do I want out of life?" Start imagining your life without that question... would you continue to compete the science experiment or are you ready to find a way to neutralize the pre-explosion?
