Run, Rabbit, Run!!!

The worst thing in life might be to witness someone who has lost their own capacity to enjoy life and their own potential, verve, and élan (sorry for the redundancy).

For the strength of the corporate litigator, the single parent, writer, artist, singer, comedian, runner, overall athlete, the scientist, etc. is purely emotional strength.

Yes, everyone has certain attributes and strengths that one can raise to the highest levels but it is by their “own command” and inner potency. “By will alone, I set my heart and my potential in motion.”

Become good at one talent, and then focus and transfer what you have learned to becoming great at something else. No limitations, meine heute freunde.

The reference to Run, Rabbit, Run!!! is a book written by John Updike, published in 1960, Rabbit, Run. The novel is about a man that runs away from his life and responsibilities; his own house in ruins, when his family cares so deeply for his welfare, and he turns his heart and being into a deep despair (what a loss of potential!).

So take the reins of your own power, and hold it strongly in your own life and hands, work to save your own life and soul and the others around you that care for you.

But, then again, it is your choice. You can choose to be a rabbit that runs or a lion that protects the pride.

With the grandest affection,

HippoParamus/Silas Marner (the rabbit who has become a lion)

P.S. - I have to call Google tomorrow and tell them that they must include an underline function for blog-sport!
