Youthful folly leading to revolution

Youthful folly is all about an innocence or naivety about life and often the people or circumstances in it. We can look at the world with bright eyes, be full of hope and ultimately lose our connection to reality and/or logic. Being hopeful is a beautiful and inspiring feeling when we are in it and it can be painfully misleading. I often tell my patients (and remind myself) that hope is dope...especially when it comes to our relationships. We often think and hope for the people around us to change. When we get distorted in this way, we end up living off of our natural patterns and we become lost in the hope which sets us up for the fall. What I try to do is to get logic wrapped around my hope. This can take time. Time and repeated experience are healing elixirs to distorted hopes. It is looking at the patterns of behavior over time and seeing it without distortion but with sensibility and then revolution can come. If something or someone is not adding to your life it is time for revolution in some form whether that be rejection and getting that person/job etc. out of your life or it could be about making a major change in your life. Rejecting something in your life that is holding you down is what allows you to take flight. In life to get the most out of it we have to be brave enough to set revolution into action.
Be brave to today!
