Oh ok…I wasn't too sure about who said it. Appreciate the correction.

The definition for insanity was coined by Benjamin Franklin and NOT Einstein.

As with all unhealthy things (spiritual, physical, mental, emotional), one grows unsatisfied after a while, and begins naturally to seek out something else.

For Einstein it made no sense to continue to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Imagine if Shackleton had taken a stance. The insanity of one is the success of another. Einstein's words could come in handy here, "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"

It was said (by George Llamsa) that the last words of Jesus could easily have been translated "My God, My God, For this I was born!" (instead of "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?". (Nothing like using your last breath as an obscure reference to an old testament psalm, right?)

I know *what* I was born for, but I don't know the how and the where of it... or how successful I will be.

What was I made for? I can sing, write music, draw, do poetry, write... but those things are talents. I can stop singing, stop drawing, stop writing. What can't I stop? As easily and as unthinkingly as breathing, I challenge *everything*, because underneath it all, I don't get what comes naturally to others. It is what I was made to do. What media do I choose? An artist is still an artist whether they choose paint, pencil, pen, chalk, clay, tin cans... the image, the thought, the concept, is still brought into being (the *real* thing). I was meant to do the real thing.

Now if I could make money on that, even better. ;) One must eat.

It's good to see that Life does that much for you!

How do you know what you were born to do?

I hope the chocolate & Coke were good(I believe in a lil “fun” food every now and again. I guess at some point, however, those returns begin to diminish. I leave that “point” up to you ;-)…

Time is merely the human construct of a measurement of our perception change. Life is far more inspiring to me for deeper thought than death (which is only one aspect of life, the transition).

Work Insanity– I have a belief that so long as we are fulfilling that which we were born to do, we are happiest. When we stray from that, we become destructive. Hitler desired to be an artist.

Health– I just ate a bunch of chocolate and a Diet Coke Plus for supper. Go me!
