Looking For Bobby Fisher

ÿLooking for Bobby Fisher is a truly,
truly incredible movie about an
individual who developed a passion
for himself and himself first.

(Remember that you cannot give away
something you do not possess.)

People think he was a great chess
player but he was a great, great,
passionate human.

He loved himself and this was his gift.

To become great at anything takes so
much more than just study or passion.
It takes so much more internal strength
and so much pain that another person
who does not share that particular self-love
can never understand or be empathetic.

This is why I am engrossed in such films
regularly.

In my home I have pictures of individuals
such as Bobby Fisher, Albert Hitchcock,
Ayn Rand, Miles Davis, Michael Jordan,
etc.

They seem to have no relationship to
each other. They seem to have no
congruency but one has to look at them
collectively.

Each individual ‘did his/her thing’ in spite
of the crowd. The crowd I refer to are
the humans walking through life on a daily
basis whom I refer to as living in ‘quiet
desperation’.

A sad lot indeed.

For those of you who may have visited my
forum you will know that at times there
has been some controversy over there.

I love to shake things up some times.

I love to challenge, take risk, expand,
and in the process I grow.

A lot of people disagree with me. This
makes me no difference as long as I agree
with myself. (To thine own self be true!)

I don’t mind being wrong, as long as I grow from
the knowledge of being wrong.

Dr. M. Scott Peck said it best in his masterpiece,
‘The Road Less Traveled.’ He stated the following:
“The highest form of mental health is dedication
to reality at all costs.”

And I hold this truth to be self-evident!

But, back to Bobby Fisher.

I embrace such personalities because of what
they stand for and what they will and have
accomplished.

But more importantly I embrace and grow from
them because of why they accomplish such great
things. They accomplish such greatness because they
simply can. I don’t think they set out to be the greatest
anything to anyone other than themselves.

I think that everyday they paint their Sistene Chapels,
everyday they win another Championship, everyday
they create another masterpiece for no other reason
besides they have developed, for themselves,
the ability to do.

Well, enough ramblings...

Do your thing...
