Don’t want to know about it,
Want nothing to do with it,
Gotta go through this life again,
No way, no how, so far its been **it…
Though I might return as a dog,
One that gets a good master,
One like Rufuz, living far from disaster,
Possible owned and loved by a pastor…
Oh well, if I gotta though, I gotta,
As long as I can still get every so often, a buzz,
Maybe next time I can have no allergies to fuzz,
I guess returning again might have rewards, cuzz,
What else do I have to do after death,
But remember this last life and how crummy it was…

Pobrocito! Many years ago, probably about 30 - I read a book which I think was by Napolean Hill, but unsure? Anyway, the title or maybe a chapter? was: The Common Denominator of Success.
In it, the author stated: " Successful people do the things that Failures FAIL TO DO!"
This profound statement bears some pondering. What does it mean? Never give up! Go the extra mile! Keep on keeping on! Hang in there, baby! We have nothing to fear but Fear itself! Fear causes Inaction! Thy Actions Alone determine thy Worth!
We are told that the great inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, experimented and experimented, and then experimented some more - about 10,000 FAILURES before he finally got a single LIGHTBULB TO WORK! That is dedication to a GOAL - That is persistence - That is BELIEF! That is having endless HOPE! That is stick-to-it-tive-ness!
Jack Canfield, the famous author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" - in one of his tape series tells us to memorize and repeat the following phrase:
"No matter what you say or do to me, I am still a worthwhile person!"
LEARN IT! PRACTICE IT! BELIEVE IT! Go to the Library and borrow some Positive Mental attitude tapes - it costs NOTHING!
Previously, I told you to VOLUNTEER somewhere, doing something for OTHERS!
Dr. Wayne Dwyer tells us that a simple Act of Kindness releases endomorphins from the brain that benefits ALL - the Recipient gets a FEEL-GOOD feeling - the Doer of the act of kindness gets a FEEL-GOOD feeling - and, guess what - any OBSERVER of the act, who only SEES it happening, gets a FEEL-GOOD feeling also! WIN-WIN-WIN - for ALL! That, my friend, is powerful!
As the old Tv commercial used to say:
"TRY IT - YOU'll LIKE IT!" "GIVE IT TO MIKEY! - HE LIKES IT!"
REINCARNATION? I'd like to come back as a HO - Why?
To make up for lost time the first time around!
OH YEAH - RUFUZ done tole me that he wants to come back as a "People Trainer" - and have THEM go out in the cold, and wind, and rain, and snow, and CRAP ON THE LAWN!
PEACE, BUDDY - PEACE! MERRY LANDER ...
Nirvana? I said Nirvana? well, that Californian weed took us there didn't? or it was the Coors? (better ask Rufuz and don't let Rene read your words or you will have a dry run you won't believe)

Your poem is about a man calling out for help, and I hear you loud and clear buddy. Straight to the point--reach out and ask, people are only too willing to help. All my details are in my bio, you are a good man. Take really good care, Stuart
Edwin
I wouldn't want to come back. One life, buddy, that's all we have. Make the most of it (although I know right now it's hard: trust me, I know, have a few regrets, myself). You're in my prayers ... still smiling through your tears, I see: good. Keep on keeping on and don't you dare give up! I, for one, believe in YOU.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
