Thought for the Week

We are each our own wild kingdom show.

We are each a concoction of hormones, neurochemicals, desires, and fears.  Each of us has the potential to be our own wild kingdom show.  Importantly, we are not judged on our potential but on our actions.  How we manage this conglomeration of ingredients that drives and motivates us is what puts us in the role of either the host or the animal of our own personal wild kingdom show.

Do I acknowledge my underlying drives and motivations?  Do I choose to mindlessly go with them or recognize them and make choices?  What would be different if I stopped being part of the wild kingdom show?
