I am always impressed by your abi...Excellent post! I am always impressed by your ability to communicate.<BR/><BR/>While it may be correct to state that television (and the reality genre in particular) is a great "wasteland," I am not too naive to think that some programs have value in our lives. After all, television is art, and art in all its forms is the most powerful means of human expression. Be proud to be a "Starting Over" fan!<BR/><BR/>I've never thought about the idea that passion ignites power and that people back away from their passions because they fear power. Then again, I am a man, and my kind seems to crave power in all forms. That being said, Ms. Britton's advice to "own" your power should speak to everyone.<BR/><BR/>When I look at my life, I often wonder if I've given my passion in life (cities) a larger role than it deserves. But I suppose there is nothing greater to commit myself to. I can count many successes that I wouldn't have been able to achieve if I had not clung to my passion. In fact, if I had abandoned my passion, as so many others do, I doubt that I would feel good about my life at all.<BR/><BR/>The song lyrics you posted may very well be my life's anthem. No matter what obstacles I faced, no matter how much pain and hurt I encountered, I fought for what I wanted for myself; I fought to become the person I wanted to be. I just wish that I count declare victory and stop fighting, but I know the battle will never end. Often I feel that I am out of energy and that I can't go on any further...yet I know that I've come too far to turn back now.<BR/><BR/>Let me assure you that you are living the life that you are meant to lead and that you truly are astonishing. But you know, as I do, that there are even bigger and better things in your future. I am a fortunate man to know you and to be able to help you continuing along life's path. I encourage you to "own" your power and to make your wildest dreams come true.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps your passion is working in theatre, but I continue to wonder whether it may be writing. But no matter how your passion eventually manifest itself, you have the ability to share many wonderful things with the world. You have certainly shared them with me.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I have another passion beside cities :)Mitch Glaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474548144759342141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118083.post-1140543797448173802006-02-21T09:43:00.000-08:002006-02-21T09:43:00.000-08:00If you're watching Starting Over and Oprah during ...If you're watching <B>Starting Over</B> and <B>Oprah</B> during work...when does the working part come in? ;)<BR/><BR/>And...are you going to start living your passion more and work in theatre again? =)scmusicalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823355909809809907noreply@blogger.com
