Detached Observer - Thought for Today
I don't do this. I absolutely absorb all stimuli and internalize that to decide what I do.

Good Start to a Monday
A friend in need sells his receiver to his friend who doesn't need the receiver. What should the receiver of the receiver do with it? The receiver could give the receiver back to his friend for his birthday. That's a fantastic idea!

Love the Picture
Sure, go to https://www.thoughtfortoday.org.uk/react-positively/ to see the words, but to see the graphic associated with the words, look below:
So often, it feels like there needs to be a hand to stop the dominoes in the things that happen. I know that if I can do that - stopping the flow of one thing falling into another - I am happier.
Stop the flow!

A Slap in the Face
"If you want something, you have to go take it" is a common theme in movies about sports. The Rocky movies use this as a theme (though I don't recall if it's explicitly stated) as well, but I think one of the trainers tells Rocky something along the lines of "Take it."
Fighting for what you want in life often is intertwined with granting mercy to your enemy, as John Kreese declared in "The Karate Kid" (1984). He declared "mercy is for the weak" in the first movie as he instructed his Cobra Kai students as a motivational statement. I wasn't the only fan of the first movie to be satisfied with those words haunting him during the first few minutes of its 1986 sequel:
So, given all of that, I am confronted.
"Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for."
WOW!
Talk about 7 words that fly in the face of what society taught me for the last 49 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 1 day (18033 days)!
The "Thought for Today" continues with these words:

The "Thought for Today" continues with these words:
Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way.
If you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more.
Make today a breeze not a battle.

Anger
There's anger in our world.
There's the kind of anger that one feels after a death, as in when I just got the news that WWE legend King Kong Bundy has passed at the age of 61: King Kong Bundy.
There's anger when it is held inside and motivates one to do tasks that are later regretted, as in when it consumes a person and drives their actions:
There's the kind that Metallica harnessed within the album St. Anger, which was "good" anger. Tip: Stay to the end of the video below for the message from Metallica to the prisoners at San Quentin.
There's manufactured anger, as in when WWE wrestlers compete at a PPV, as they did at SummerSlam 2003 - SummerSlam 2003. Tidbit: The above video was the theme song for SummerSlam 2003.
