This a bit derived from Chase.

He noted that it is important to keep "can't" at arm's length. and here's why it is.

Because the comments and life perspective are going to hinder you in a way from doing what you wanted to do.

I think it's highly important to distinguish here, that it's good to mix with a lot of people, you gain reference points but the people you mix around with the most time, in a way influence you even if they didn't intend, and only based their comments on what they observed when the question was asked or the topic was raised by both of you during a conversation. I really think that needing to know oneself is very important, but the key here is knowing what you looking for and mixing with people with the same things.

Given an example of Bruno Mars, I like being emotional and sing the song that he sang but sometimes i caught myself thinking of the past girls i whiteknight upon. It isn't a bad thing but rather i need to know what actually happen and why i am feeling that way.

It's the same if you look at a ninja game, The guy who wields the most powerful sword must possess the physical. mental and emotional strength or the sword will feeds its soul.

So yea, Know yourself. or the sword (which is anything outside of your mind) will feed your soul, in a way. Everything is good until one over depends on it.

Re: The Power Of Opinions Among People

Hey Zac,

True brother. I have come to a similar realization. You have to know what you stand for or risk being blown in the wind to and fro by the opinions of your friends and people you interact with.

Couple of ironclad opinions you can't move me on:

Travel is good.
Opposing argument: But it is dangerous and you can be robbed and you can't speak the language etc...
Belief: It is a big world. I would like to see more of it. If I have to trade a little safety for an intercultural experience I don't mind. Who said I don't live on the edge?

Sex and love are independent.
Opposing argument: But when you trust someone enough to get intimate you must love them.
Belief: Experience here is key. After a couple rolls in the hay with different people, you notice there are some people you like more than others.

Furthermore, the main site provides a plethora of solid mindsets and unequivocal opinions for the willing mind. You can't help but become an optioned person.
 
a good date brings a smile to your lips... and hers
