A Poke in My Eye

When we discover how to filter our thoughts and to purposefully interpret the events of our lives, we can lift ourselves up beyond our challenging times and far beyond any seductive distractions. A Poke in My Eye is the product of introspective dialogues and a drastic paradigm shift from some of the lowest points of life. In the middle of the mental chaos, the power of simple stories with extraordinary lessons is what gave birth to a symbolic poke to my eye-- a sudden consciousness that there is more to live for, and even more reasons to hang on for one more day.



For many of us, there will be the stumbling steps and seemingly unending stream of disappointing days. As tough as they may be, these confidence-shaking days are also what can force us to strive for the mental courage to push farther. There is no telling what can dovetail to our advantage and create unexpected opportunities.

A Poke in My Eye is the lens through which I have had the opportunity to examine both memories and expectations, but most importantly, to not lose sight of the chance to go through a day with conviction and integrity. Only you and I can make the moments of our lives count.
