Life has been an uphill struggle for me. Reality does not match my ambitions, and the causes are not always external. I need to develop a success mindset.
I battled with my genetic makeup, acquired personality traits and my reactions to the world, based on cumulative experience. Altering the crystalline structure that shapes my personality appears to be a life-long task.
The new signals that I send out, draw a certain response from others. If it is not favorable, I revise my strategy and recreate myself again.
Bit by bit, I put
myself together to break,
then reassemble again.

Just find the real you inside. That’s the gem.

Your flash gives me much to ponder as I ponder how the waves and other rocks crack the surface. How unique we are, aside from rocks, that we can adjust our crystalline structure. Great flash!
