How to Keep the Cool?


On Keeping it Cool




What does it mean to keep it cool? What image pops in your head when you think of "cool?" Is it James Dean in a leather jacket, smoking a cigarette while cruising a buck-20 down interstate-90? Why is it that this image portrays cool? What characteristics and decisions does this person make to make him... cool?

My opinion is... keeping it cool means making sure your emotions are in check at all times. It means that even in the face of adversity, even when confronted with a life-threatening situation, even when in the presence of a beautiful woman, you remain calm, collected, and ready.

Keeping it cool isn't really something that you do every once in a while, it's more a lifestyle. It's a WAY of being. A way of SEEING.

One who keeps his or her cool will look at a situation, and observe how everything operates, and accept what is happening so that they can either allow or change the flow of the situation.

One who keeps his or her cool NEVER becomes overwhelmed by a person or a situation.

One who keeps his or her cool ALWAYS recognizes that even if they have to give themselves completely to a job, even if they are living with their parents and have to abide by their rules, that NO ONE can take away who they are inside.

99% of you life may be devoted to some cause but NOTHING can take away the 1% that IS YOU.

Keeping it cool means that you must be honest. Keeping it cool means you have to be constantly sifting through the bullshit of everyday life for the truth which is always there.

One who keeps the cool in this way at all times will find their lives becoming easier to live, making it easier to find the cool in life, and spread coolness to anyone you meet.

Be warned, Keepers of the Cool, as you will be hated on. Some people can't handle others who don't get phased by everyday bullshit. Some people don't like it when their off-handed derogatory comments hold no weight on you. Some people just, aren't cool, and like Republicans and Democrats simply hold different views.

Keepers of the Cool are a minority among humankind, due to the increasingly large population of societal-robots who are literally STUCK in their "own" minds, really just projections forced upon them from countless hours watching TV, consuming, not questioning authority, and generally just taking what life gives them.

Keepers of the Cool are like Neo, outside of the Matrix, yet in it. Able to SEE clearly what is going on without feeling the NEED to be pulled along by it.

Keepers of the Cool realize that all action on their part, is chosen by them alone.
Keepers of the Cool use this Power to create a unique environment wherever they go.

Here's to the Keepers of the Cool. Just know that if it seems like the world is going against you, you have unstuck yourself from the flow of life and can now look at it's direction and move freely in any which way you choose.

Know that ALL Keepers of the Cool are martyrs. 

Jesus is a Keeper of the Cool. 

Gandhi is a Keeper of the Cool.

Martin Luther King Jr. is a Keeper of the Cool.

Nelson Mandela is a Keeper of the Cool.

Socrates is a Keeper of the Cool.

My father is a Keeper of the Cool. 

I am now a Keeper of the Cool.

It's a great responsibility to Keep the Cool, and not everybody can... 

Will YOU?
