Return to the Mecca - Self reflection1 sitting by the ocean

( Cloud walking on the beach) Inner thoughts voice 
"They say it takes everything  a man has to achieve greatness, but in my opinion  as one who seen the peaks of greatness and success at least in my profession ... the truest greatness would be to achieve self. I often ask my self how hard and what price was paid by Michael Jordan to become “Michael Jordan”... then i stop and mould it over in my mind how  much did it take  for “ Michael Jordan” to become Michael Jordan again. When the camera’s stop flashing... when the cheer fade and they stop calling your name out loud ... and they speak of you in past tense ... when your with your family , when you are with true friends then you are not “Michael Jordan” but you are “Michael Jordan”... in all of it was self achieved  was the god inside found . 

 It seem easier to become greater  than  great, than it to achieve true greatness a place  you have earned you own respect and no one else  counts accepts for god.

 But the task of moving from this place of greatness and giftedness back to ordinary seem a more intrepid journey , one that seems to harsh to sole of the mind  as the journey of life is walked , a blend of confidence mixed with humility .. a lot of letting going and holding on .. pruning for  growth so we know there is a hint pain , even if this pain is to help  the spirit of man, man  hesitates toward it … when the season have come full circle  and the flashing lights and cheers of crowds the praise of people have faded into the silence by what and how will we define self .. Is one still enough.. or do we begin  in the ways of man in reflection “ what is the meaning of life”. Michael Jordan  is one of the greatest athletes in the game of basketball.. But he was also a father and son.. A friend a man, these places where greatness of basketball have no has power  for only self can define .. Hence a story of seven begins.

A story of trip back from a place greater than greatness .. a return from  power to the ordinary.. for the true test of man is not adversity ( such as is achieving greatness which is to over come) but the true test of any man is when he  achieves power of any kind (ponder it over for a minute) … what does he do with it .(viva Mandela )
