Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
~ Mike Tyson
You or may not remember Mike Tyson, one of the greatest boxers in modern times, and also convicted rapist, an overwhelming figure who could knock anybody out including himself- biting the ear of the person he was boxing, nearly dying from alcoholism, violence and who knows what else.
Tyson is not your typical guru, professor, new age author, nothing of the sort, but a man who has battled his entire life with everything around him, most notably himself.
Sometimes I like listening to people like this. There are few filters with them, little sophistication, simple words talking about simple things. Simple things which are also very difficult.
We all have plans and we all need them. We all have words and we all need them. But when the plans don't work and the words can't be found- what happens to you then? Where to you go from there? Where do we look from there?
