In an age of internet stupidity - where more is gooder - dumbass memes are a dime/dozen (I know Kanye, you're happy for me and are gonna let me finish). One meme, in particular, refuses to die, "(Insert Celeb Here) dies in horrific accident" So, I dutifully inform you that Will Smith is dead (jaykay).
Two dreams this morning.
At first, I was in a mansion. There were some beautiful bathrooms in the mansion. I had left some articles of my clothing in one of the bathrooms, one which was specifically for me.
I returned later and noticed that the toilet and my trousers had faeces smeared on it. It turned out to be my grandmother who had done it - she'd used the toilet carelessly and didn't bother to clean it up. I was furious.
My mother told me to leave the toilet and use her bathroom and that she would clean my toilet for me.
My father rescued a rogue rabbit. It was a little more violent than the other rabbits we had. My mother made my father get rid of it and I cried, even though I was an adult. She put it in a cloth bag and when I shook out the bag, two rabbit embryos popped out. I told myself I wouldn't forgive my mother for turfing out a pet just because it was 'difficult'.

I was at a library, and apparently it was part of RMIT. I went and asked the librarian for specific books and he told me I couldn't get them. He gave me alternative ones instead, by John Keats, and Fanny Brawne. They were tiny. Then they told me that I couldn't borrow them. I tried to hide them behind some books.
I was having a lot of trouble finding a decent spot to hide them in, and then Will Smith busted me and started filming me.
The more I learn about Will Smith and his thoughts a beliefs the more I respect him as a person and see why he has already one of the most prolific acting careers. He lives his life to make a difference, to have an impact and he is willing to die for the truth. That kind of passion and focus creates greatness in anyone committed to singleness of purpose. Are you willing to die for the truth? Is your life dedicated to your one true purpose? It is that seeking of truth that will create greatness in your life...it is worth it. Start today! Much, if not all of his comments here originate from the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho
durrty goodz - keep up (2007)
First, if you have not read "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, please go out and check it out from the library and read it today.
Second, figure out what your personal legend is and take a step today to start to follow it.
Then you will start to understand what Will Smith is trying to put into words.
This afternoon I happened to listen to an interview with American actor Will Smith, who is promoting his new film Seven Pounds. The conversation turned to his movie Ali, about Mohammad Ali’s life. Will Smith shared something very profound which immediately made me think about our use of Insights at Ignite.
Will Smith was talking about a scene shot in Mocambique: “four days or so before we shot that scene I’d just met Nelson Mandela and I realised the power of story. And what my job was as an actor in bringing stories to the screen is to illuminate a truth about life.
When you go and look at a story or you listen to music or anytime you take in art the greatest thing that can happen is that it expands or it changes your life. It reveals some deeply ingrained pattern or a truth about existence.
That whole time for me was huge in understanding and comprehending that I want to live my life in service to humanity.”
Respect to Will Smith.
