How To Live Fully. aka Get Your Flow On

"Bike Messengers Are On Crack"

You might Die in the process of Learning to Flow . but most likely not. and either way you will make the most of your Life while it lasts. Life is uncertain anyway. but taking charge will actually make your life more certain (safer) than those who always "play it safe" (they are fooling themselves just ask all the people who's pension gets cut short and are living a minimal existence after a long life of "doing what they were told was the best way to get along).
my Philosophy is:
 If you want to get across the street safely, don't put all your faith in the traffic light, Watch for The Actual Motor Vehicles. and if the walking light is Red but their are no cars in sight. don't waste your time standing on the curb. #TrustYourSenses Over Any One Else's Rules. (period)

I was a Bike messenger in Washington D.C. for about 2 years in the mid 90's. i was scared at first and very cautious. but it was my goal to ride like those in the video above. and after about 6 months to a year, i did. i was pretty close to that level even after 3 months.

my second year of being a messenger was pure bliss, and well worth the risks

life is full of obstacles, Traffic, stop signs, stop lights... these are like our Fears and Challenges and "Rules" made by others. Be Courages and set your mind to overcome all such things. Eventually and in a surprisingly short amount of time you will find your self moving almost effortlessly through every challenge. and even finding Delight and Exhilaration in every "obstacle" that you encounter.

Sometimes these obstacles will force you to "suddenly" change your course. but you will not mind because, "Change is the surest thing to bring you Joy and Excitement". Change is the best cure for Boredom and Apathy.

as you increase your ability to Flow through Traffic, most Onlookers and Bystanders will call you Crazy, or Insane, or something similar to that. But when you are In Tha Zone, you will not care the slightest bit.

just make sure to steadily upgrade your Vehicle (your mind) only push your limit's just a little bit at a time, and you will Be Flowing Smoothly and Ecstatically Through Life in No Time. Happy Cycling!
