How Old Are You?

One morning a woman was walking out of her front door, when she noticed a strange little man at the bottom of her garden.

"You're a goblin," she said, "I caught you and you owe me three wishes!".

So the goblin replied "OK, you caught me fair and square, what's your first wish?"

The woman stopped and thought for a second, "I want a huge mansion to live in."

The goblins replied "OK, you've got it.".

Woman again thought it over, "My second wish is a Black BMW 7-Series."

"OK, you've got that too."

"My last wish is a million dollars!".

The goblin then said "OK, you've got it. But to make your wishes come true you have to have sex all night with me."

"OK then, if that's what it takes."

Next morning the little man wakes the woman up. "Tell me," said the man, "how old are you?"

"I'm 27", she replied.

"Fuck me", said the little man, "... 27 and you still believe in goblins"

Trust Yourself

"A man who doesn't trust himself can never really trust anyone else."

War

War doesn't determine who is right, war determines who is left.

Higher Plain

It is almost as if we exist on a higher plain when we have lost ourselves in a greater power, when our activity is focused & greater than ourselves. Our focus seems to be at it's apex when our actions are greater than ourselves & on that plain there seems to exist a limitless source of energy.

I know that when I am lost in an activity that, by no means, involves me or my ego directly, time whizzes by & I only ever recognize the weariness or exhaustion once I separate myself from the activity, almost like pulling a plug. Whatever you're doing, associate your actions with a goal that is greater than yourself, move towards an object that is far out of reach or an objective that seems impossible & work on your connection with the limitless power there.

I find this asset allocation chart interesting. It's self-explanatory. Have fun!
