You ever wonder what people mean when they say this? Is it just a saying they heard and repeat, do you think that most say it because they really mean it? Does it ever even cross your mind that they actually mean anything at all by it or have we heard this so often that it has become a sort of salutation we just take at face value?
Someone said that to me tonight and I thought “I actually do try and keep it real” that is when it hit me; How often do we say something or hear something and we just hear a salutation and expect or give no real thought behind it?
It felt good to take a moment and do a “functions check” to see if I actually am keeping it real. Do I listen to my intuition, am I honest with all those who I converse with and meet, am I honest to myself, do I respect all others and do I respect my self? Keeping it real can be many things to many people, this is not the point, the point is; ARE YOU KEEPING IT REAL?
I like to think I am and you know what? Thinking that I am is half the job, we are what we believe we are, our surroundings are what we believe they are and through this we create life, our life…and we only have one so “create” a good one!
So friends, Keep it real!
Your Steven
