Today's episode is a highlight of one of the most informative conversations I've had in my life. I finally asked questions many people don't get the answer to, and unusual questions that occasionally pop into your head. It was 11 o clock and it was cool with a good chilly wind. I had always wanted to talk to a homeless man because I wanted to know what it is that they do. I had nowhere to be so I decided to tell a guy I would pay him to answer my questions. I spent the next two hours digging in to the life of Steve, and his experiences of life. I heard his life story about love, betrayal, reconstruction, and homelessness. I asked him literally any question that was in my mind, I was paying him for time. They think a lot. Homeless people have a lot of time on their hands and they are very philosophical. Unnaturally philosophical. I enjoyed almost every topic he told me about because it was decades of experience rolled into one, and he was the best storyteller I'd heard in a while (no doubt from practice).  He likes the examination of anyone's thoughts and feelings. Not only does it bring you closer to nature, it brings you closer to yourself. It is easier to feel the humanity that everyone should feel when you understand your emotions, actions, behaviors, and the purpose and cause behind them. I commonly use introspection because it is a great way to evaluate how you are doing. It is very easy to learn your weaknesses and strengths. Do it often, it leads to discipline, awareness, and growth. Do not be scared to be with yourself,  collaboration with yourself can lead to exponential results. It is a gateway to bettering one's mind and body. Challenge yourself and the way you think, that is my advice for today.
