Closeness

I think what I have learned is that it doesn’t take a long time to be close to people if you make the effort and are willing to risk getting metaphorically hit. If you use time as the measurement for getting close to people, then you are more interested in protection and limits than you are risk, growth and learning.

I’m not a person of many friends. I really don’t believe in friendship being necessary to be close to people nor is it mandatory to be of service and help others. Being a human that desires to spend their time on earth accomplishing something that gives back is my priority. I don’t believe in socialization much either….I prefer to work….to have action….to fill my time doing something of impact and socialization just isn’t in that vain.

People come and go….each one leaves a little something with you - each interaction, each conflict allows you to shape shift and grow. I am grateful for each interaction for each moment that led me to this one.

In the ring….you have very little time…..2-3 minutes to get close to someone…to learn their strengths and weaknesses. You must read their reaction and your reaction in a split second and act accordingly.

The more my life reflects the rules of the ring…the closer to my true nature I get.
