Two Lane Highways
Relationship Metaphors
If you’re like me, either engulfed or less than sparked by emotion, then often times there are mediums that make things easier. For me, that is writing. It allows me to ‘delete’ and ‘backspace’ any mistakes that could snowball into an avalanche. When you’re driven by emotion, your driving factors in life are massively determined by your environment. This can happen on the day to day, and within the long term dream you develop.
In the day to day practice, it is easier to tie ourselves down with a fundament
Rather than the appropriate perspective on fundament (one and three, not asses).
If we get stuck on ass, then we are stuck on a step of lack. Waste in reality, I mean what else does an Anus do besides hold waste? I don’t want anything stuck there..
Understanding the 2 way highway dynamic
Personally, I’ve recently been witness to what an unparalleled partnership does to oneself. Both internally and externally, both professionally and personally. One truth holds all the issues within itself and that is toxicity, furthermore, acidity.
When we hold onto the things that internally throw off our positivity, or alkalinity, then we spread that out externally without even realizing we’re perpetuating negativity. The issue is, it is so easy to step right back into the pile of dog shit that is toxicity. The same one we knew was there, saw with our eyes, neglected to get rid of, and stepped right into, bare mush between the toes baby. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
The original topic was not this, today, but that is the beauty of riding the emotional wave directly into productive and positive habits, for me, writing to all ~24subscribers and with a preference to focus that mainly on the moment, with yesterday being a moment of realization for me. In two ways, like the congruent, flowing freely highway.
Now if you’ve driven the barren lands, you know, and hope, you’re at least on a two lane highway heading in the same direction, heading the same way. Especially in the darkness of night and in speeds of excess 60, in sometimes foreign regions.
For lack of worse, we will make it simple. Head on collisions at any speed suck. So we’re moving on from the law of opposing forces and focusing on two vehicles speeding the same direction.
And sometimes . . . More is worse.
This is why having faith and belief is important, but having blind faith and lack of analysis is a horrible misfortune if you move without fierce capability. Which is the irony of love. I can handle the market and wear my nuts as a chain, any given day. Not always, yet the option to do so is available everyday.
Things like doing that in the market are handled in many ways, but it’s fun and it’s social interactions + we love comedy. How can you not love to laugh? It’s just human. What I find is that it attracts who you want to stay.
Refocus⤵️
With our focus being two vehicles (& teams, doesn’t matter how wide your lane is) - with two or more vehicles moving at high speeds, or any speed at all, lanes MUST be obeyed. Sometimes diligently focused on, to maintain safety. This ties back into the environment. If you’re about to hit a 35 mph curve in 3/4 a mile, and you’re aware of the signs, then you’re going to slow down promptly, even in a Porsche.
Of course, that depends on your track and choice of vehicle. If you have any affinity for the F1 sport, you can attribute business to that, at least at it’s highest levels. The only difference is, you have to be mindful that it’s not the vehicle, driver, track, and competitors. It is the Brand the driver represents and the Team that is guiding them through the laps and course. It is the Preparation that makes things efficient and prevents the opportunity for error to cause an eruption throughout the many layers of contributing components, that have one aim, to stay Winning.
The goal to carve your name into marble stone, as you have for so long with chisel into rock.
Receiving the trophies that everyone else fought against you to hold. Popping Champagne off podiums and holding the gold, up to the sky and thanking everything that got you there. That is the daily energy you want, right?
It doesn’t take much to do this, but in any fight, it sucks to be alone. On a two lane, it is more controllable, if you don’t let your emotions take a controlling hold. In any moment. I’ll eventually expand more on that release, as I don’t believe in therapy, in later additions of the blog. I won’t say that I don’t believe in talking with people, but again, two lane highway is the point, so we divide here. To reconvene on focus.
There is again, one way it works, moving in congruence, at least in areas where you must lead a hold. I’d be lying if I said I’m not that asshole pacing the car beside me while an asshole tries to push me ahead instead of going slow. I know where I’m heading too and sometimes, I know these roads better than you. If we’re going through a pass that is going to kick your out of state plate ass, you shall not pass.
The point is, trust what’s ahead of you, even people. First, trust yourself. All of you. If you’re wrong about people, you’re going to miss seeing the best in them. If you’re right about people, you’re going to help bring the best out of them, when you genuinely engage with them from a heart center. That’s why spreading love will always be the only true component on the highway of life. That doesn’t mean I don’t mind when you let the bird fly. I have to flip off assholes too, but that’s risky in itself.
When there are two cars seeking to maintain pace with one another, that is a great tool. Best when both are moving at mach speed, in the right coupe (personally speaking). That again, does not mean to disobey safety. Too many accidents happen. It’s making sure we don’t total our lives that is crucial. No matter the ordeals at hand.
Another key point is to maintain altitude, you don’t want the MiGs on your ass while you’re 5k horizontal and 3k vertical from your crew.
I keep delaying my last point so without further ado…
Stay parallel, stay with each other in pure congruence. Do what your partners tell you to, not do it when they tell you again after a month or two. In business, things get to be horrible if you don’t execute. No one wants to drag a ton with no parachute. Keep in faith and do what you need to, because the whole team and city is counting on you.
Love, Drool 🤤
