- Seriously contemplating getting a spiral tattoo. I really like what they stand for and feel like it correlates into my  life. It's a symbol for evolution and holistic growth, letting go and release, expanding awareness, balance and the general path of life. One thing I read about spirals that really got me thinking was that they are depictions of how as we continue on our path in life, we often cross similar paths but in different ways, gaining knowledge as we go. I kind of imagine that the innerdepths of the spiral symbolizes the inner consciousness and deeper thought as you traverse through the path of life and the outer rings translate to our outward perception, external awareness, ego etc...Starting from something small in the center and then growing and knowing more as we mature or looking at things from a more material stand point and then looking deeper inside yourself to realize enlightenment and the unseen essence. Kind of trippy but I like it.

Not a Big Wilderness Guy, But I Could Do This

Betas

- Had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day about A type vs. B type personalities. She felt that I was an Alpha type because she stated that she notices me pushing myself to try and live my dreams and I don't really shy away from much, but also still a Beta. I told her that I feel as if I'm strictly a Beta because it may seem like that to you from the outside looking in, but to me I feel as if I haven't made the biggest of strides in things that I want to accomplish yet. I also feel as if i'm really laid back and that I could push myself more to be better. I also asked how can one be an Alpha and a Beta when theory states that you can only be one or the other. She told me in reality we're all basically Betas. The ones who feel as if they're Alphas always have a strive for more, are highly competitive, feel as if they're goals must be accomplished in a certain amount of time and continue to push themselves. People who are huge success stories usually are still pushing themselves to go bigger and better because they feel as if there is no ceiling for them to hit. Once they reach their goals in a set amount of time, they must continue to climb towards their next goal which ultimately destroys that prior concept of time. These actions and desires is what will make them a Beta in the end. I thought about that statement and fell in love with it.
