My "Curse"... aka Party Stories 🎉

The end of 2019 was a washing machine filled with rocks and gold. I tell some private stories I wouldn't tell anywhere else, and talk to you about my self inflicted "Curse".

"The world will move if you say so, you own it" 🐉



My "Curse"... aka Party Stories 🎉

Comments

This was so f..ng real that it made me tear up and think about the moments I've had like that. Thanks for sharing 🐉

Journaling progress: With each day of writing in the new journal, it gets a little easier. At first, too much focus and struggle for daily writing “perfection.” Now I focus on the discipline. The writing act is more important than content, and developing/continuing the discipline to do it daily.

A Ferociousness or Ferocity of Dragons. A Barbarity... A Wildness... A Brutality... A “Brotality” I thought of the first and last lines with others suggested by Roget and his “Thegasaurus” as my childhood friend called it.

I think we're all here to feed this wisdom back and forth to each other. Even if we "know it" sometimes we need to hear it again 🐉

I wonder what the collective noun for Dragons is... A horde? So happy you're here Arvin! 🐉

Such a new recruit to this page Steven, but you fit right in. I'm going to be speaking about these things a lot more this year. I'm not perfect at all, though I seem to always just post the perfect things. It's much more relatable to post the dark moments too. I'm going to do more of that. 🐉

This makes me smile Marilyn! Thank you for these words. Reading this now is like a warm bath 🐉

Thanks a Million Roland! You are an amazing support my man! 🐉

Thanks for sharing something so deeply personal with us, Mike. It's true, we've all felt that way at some point or another. I know I have. It can be tough to break out of. During those times, all the negative self-talk you work so hard to keep at bay becomes as loud as a fire engine. And when those moments are compounded with other things that seem to be happening all at once, it really can feel like you're "cursed." But I think it helps to remember that that feeling is a lie created by our own minds. The lows in our lives are just as natural as the highs. There's always a way out of the lows, and I'm so happy you navigated your way through that quagmire. And if you ever need a little help, your Dragons are always here to support you. Sending you hugs, my friend! 🐉🐉🐉🐉

Another key take away from you Mike. And i am always grateful for your honesty and all the things that you share. It inspires us/me to be better. That day in-day out i try to at least show some kindness to others or at least not being a jerk. Sending you some hugs. We will soar with you —-dragon 🐉🙏

Mike, Oh man, tbe dreaded shingles. They are miserable. I understand your feeling of cursedness. Glad you’re better physically and emotionally now. Thank you, Mike, for your honest introspection. Your “cursed” message is a great life lesson and learning moment for me. Personal discipline has always been a challenge. I usually put off a task, then work feverishly to finish it by deadline. I let running out of time be my motivation. After doing an adequate job, sometimes pulling an “all nighter” to finish, I contemplate how much better the project would have turned out had I applied discipline to start earlier. So, Mike, here I go applying discipline, starting with writing a journal. Next, disciplining myself to get more exercise and more sleep. I will return to this video because it is instructional and helpful. It’s never too late to “move toward perfection,” as people of my faith often say – knowing we will never reach it. But, life is better when disciplining myself to be a better person, both for myself and those I love. I will check in with you in a week or so to report how it’s going. Thanks again. I am sending you a hug and blessings, my friend.🙏🏻

None of us is perfect. We've all experienced things in life that left us "broken" somehow. Some of us live through and become better people because of our life experiences. But, we all have "cracks" and sometimes, darkness seep through those cracks. It's life - there will always be ups and downs - and we all ride it through. I now understand better why you were noticeably quiet late last year. In IG, you merely mentioned the shingles but now, we understand there was more to it than that. What you just shared makes you even more real because what you went through is hugely relatable to all of us. Thanks for sharing Mike! From here on out, it'll only get better moving forward. 👌🏻🤙🏻🐉

What the FUNK!? SNAP OUT OF IT! Call a friend. Reward yourself. Get some love, Drink a pint, ask for hugs. Just don't lose focus. Or give up. You're doing great! Don't beat yourself up, Mike. It can happen to anyone. You are one of the lucky ones. Count your blessings. Many look up, respect and idolize you. We are here to support you. Sending virtual hugs your way, bro!🤗🐉🐉🐉🐉
