In sports there comes a time when a team has one of those special seasons, a magical season that has everyone's attention, and emphasizes how great a team truly is and that is precisely what is going on right now with the golden State warriors incredible year thus far. With a start only rivaled by the Chicago Bulls the Warriors are an astounding 36-3 with no signs of remotely slowing down anytime soon. With tremendous guardplay and a championship already notched under their belt combined with a terrific team chemistry and depth it is no wonder they are title contenders yet again and the odds on favorite to win it all this season. Powered by the league MVP Steph Curry who has continued his stellar play from his MVP season last year, the Warriors are not only the most exciting team to watch in the NBA but it can be argued that they are the most exciting team to watch in all of sports right now. Considering the way they play why wouldn't they be? afterall, their ability to move the basketball, hit three point shots, defend, accompanied by their run and gun style is easy basketball viewing to visually take in and enjoy; and their tremendous start only adds to their magnetic appeal.
Their talented roster which is spearheaded by a dynamic duo and extremely effective one-two punch of Stephen curry and Clay Thomson is hard enough to contend with, but add an all star talent the likes of Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala , and great role players to round out a well oiled and well balanced machine such as Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbosa and you have an utter handful to deal with. Many expected great things for the team this year but this astonishing start was a definite surprise to many, especially coming from a team fresh off of a tittle winning season the year prior. Now due to their excellent start there are talks of a potential record tying 72-10 season which would tie the impressive Bulls mark accomplished in their 1995-96 season; and even discussions of whether they could surpassed that magical bulls season. They may not have accoplished what the bulls have as they are still very far away from their wonderful accomplishments and memorable legacy, but what they have succeeded in much like the bulls, is making regular season basketball meaningful again. Their exciting brand of basketball their high scoring nature and their Superstar MVP has helped make this season's warriors team both important and Special.
The jury is out on how long they can maintain this stretch if fantastic play and not wear down as the season moves along, but with a young team, a tremendous backcourt and a superstar talent is the clear MVP things are definately looking good for a potential long sustained run of dominance; that is if any other team in the Western conference team has anything to say about it.
They may not be the bulls and may not have the resumes and legacies of other iconic NBA teams and players yet but what they do have is time. Time to showcase their team greatness on a night in night out basis and greatly add to what they've already accomplished.
The warriors are young, motivated and play as if they have something to prove and that's how good teams become great, great teams become champions, and champions become dynasties. The jury may still be out on whether or not this team in particular can become one but given their talent, Stephen Curry's ability to get even better as an NBA talent and the potential for their nucleus to stay intact this team in my mind will be around for a very long time to comes, threatening for more NBA titles, and cementing their legacies as one of the greatest teams that the NBA has ever had.

Success through failure
Success through our failure, now I know what you may be thinking how can I succeed through my failures. The mere thought of a failure is failing at something with no redeeming things to acquire from that experience. The truth however is that there is a variety of things to be gained from a failures if you peel back it's outer layer and unveil it's purposely hidden truth. A failure is meant to humble and showcase the tough acquisition of something we know all to well that can at times be hard to acquire. Through that failure however is where we can receive our reward the internal attributes within us that exemplefies our greatest strenght, coming in the form of our patience, renewed perseverance leading to a newly adjusted perspective and understanding of our desired goals and catipulting us to our newly incentive mission. Through a disappointment rises an eventual euphoria through our pain eventually comes a relevent comfort one that gravitates us to a satisfying and meaningful long journey to our final resolute destination.
Disappointment can quell our desire or it can further add fuel to that same desire for our cherished conquest. We can either take the seed of our witnessed failure and keep it as just that or develop it into the growth of our blossoming showcase. Our failures can very much so serve as that spark can light the fuse that leads the way to our purposely wondered dreams coming to fruition. If we let our disappointment and failures be the launching pad to our acquired success through our newly applied sense of hunger and adaptation towards it's aquisition failure truly then becomes a reward. A reward of hard work, discipline,commitment and passion to self growth. A benefit to our soon to be adjusted mental mindframe, the lit fuse to spark the positive footsteps towards destined prevailing events in which we prevail from the darkness of our displaying light to shine in the eventual glory of the light that's yet to tower over us in it's eminent trance. If you lose no need to feel afraid to lose again and if you fail welcome it as if it is appreciated because in the end we are not at all meausred by our failures, just the actions admits our continuous journey to our successes.

Our willingness to age
Aging we all have to get older sooner or Later but it's how we combat that reality that helps us unravel the beauty of it's comfortably hidden prize. As the days add up and the years go by we tend to view aging as an imaginary gravitational push towards our human expiration and ultimate mortality coming to an end; viewing our youth as being as good as it gets with no place to go from there but down. Aging in our minds then becomes perceived as nothing more than a mere disappointment mainly due to how we view ourselves adjusting to a life of newly met realities. how we see both our lives and ourselves as we grow older paints the narative and we then construct either the enjoyment of getting older through our mental self portrait or the plain regret and sadness we choose to attain from that mental visionary stance. It ultimately does beg the question have we somewhere along the line forgotten that we construct the view of our own self narrative.
How we manage to live and why we manage to live is up to our our own measured jurisitication. An approached and initiated acknowledgement that doesn't change through time but that rather becomes more crucial as we grow and evolve as humans. Through that acknowledgement we set the standard the appreciation for what age we are what it may mean to us and ultimately what value it holds in our continued evolution throughout the duration of our lives. Getting older is just that, getting older, providing as many pros as it does cons. Making us all the wiser,appreciative of what we have and who we are and how precious our existence when refelected upon is in the grand scheme of things.
Does aging have it's setbacks? absolutely, but just because you age doesn't mean that your spirit follows suit and does so as well. Living freely is done through one's commitment for doing so having a zest for life with the knowledge of how precious that youthful like exuberberance can be at any age; as it can have a huge impact towards how you want to combat life progressing forward. We are the existence of our permission, what we allow our lives to be and how we allow our lives to go paints the portraits of our essence. refelecting the fight of our unbridbled passion for the will to live, spiritually reflecting us in the same light as our youth projecting us in the same view of our sometimes forgotten past.How old you are isn't as important as how old you live, as life still continues no matter the age and adventure still continues no matter the stage.
Once we live by the number we get assigned we officially become that precise number as well. the same can't be said about living by the number you personally want and making life the adventure it should be. Aging is a process of human evolution that we can't control but what we do have a say on is the meaning and relevance we put into ourselves each day and navigating it in the direction of our desired view and that we certainly we have all the say in. Act your age some may say and while that nay be true at times their are many other different occasions when it isn't and benefits you not to. Act how you feel and age loses a large portion of it's significance; take it a step further by not being tied down to a number and you allow yourself to view who you are in a whole new permitted light no longer connected to how old your age says you are but by how youthful your existence within that moment of time frames you to be.

doubt vs certainty
Doubt vs certainty a constant battle we sometimes mentally engage with not only within our minds but sometimes within the depths of our souls. We constantly ask the question when we should push forth and battle with the ideology of whether or not our push to move forth is really in the end worth it. We linger with our suspicions of what's we feel is internally right and what we perceive as being wrong, at times even getting in our own way toi the path of our own mental salvation.
Our doubt sets our limitation of expectations and at times setting the barrier to our true unlimited potential. Our certainty while at times beneficial can be misdirected in our wishful prosperous conquest. Knowing when to properly use the two can be a very difficult task as both can serve as a benefit or a disadvantage in finding the proper path or just making the right decision. Both can be very useful but serve their purpose best when used at the right time. Doubt can bring about hesitation, worry and an inherent fear to simply proceed onward. What counteracts that is a relevant certainty that once attained trains us to jump life's many hurdles, to relinquish our fears when found adopted into a proven doubt, and catapults our courage into the forefront to acheive what was thought to be challenging, impossible or just plain risky helping us to confidently proceed onward towards our goals or life agendas.
Doubt however can provide a beneficial flip side to it's importance as well, serving as our perfectly provided emotional compas of what is truly right or conclusively wrong sometimes managing to be correct in it's assumptions, all the while our certainty to no fault of our own may be an unjust one, do to life's consistence in changing up the script to our lives. It is more beneficial however to our own human growth and our continued evolution to have more certainty than doubt, as it is our certainty that frees us, leads to the useful path that we deep down within our selves know that we both require and undoubtedly request. It can also be the mental and emotional force that pushes a sometimes eluded belief to the forefront all while helping us in the much needed salvation to our much needed mental freedom. through self certainty we triumph over the initiated stance of fear fabricated by doubt, where our now suddenly formed strength found within ourselves dictates our outcomes more often than not setting us to prosper instead of conclusive doubt and fear doing so for us where it more often then sets us up to simply fail, as certainty does a much better job in pushing us forward more so than doubt which can only triumph in it's conquest of holding us back.

Kindness
The benefit of being nice can truly have a very profound impact in one's emotional resonance and positve attitude. What I mean by this is you can really make someone's mood change and internal spirit lift by doing the good things that some of us can at times take for granted. We have the ability to possess kindness and generosity and spread that outward to those around us especially to those who need it most. Through our warmth we introduce others to a generous compassion that when delivered to others can be an intoxicating form of activated bliss towards one's emotional state, helping us as well to portray our own human existence to a prosperous glorified light.
The act of kindness brightens our external glow and can awaken others hidden happiness not always displayed, maybe even helping others parley that into positive actions towards others. Through a kind act and through kind words we ourselves shine in the best way possible, and it is that special glow coming from the goodness of our exhibited human nature that gives it it's magnetic beauty, gorgeous enough to have others yearning to shine just as brightly and have their set being perfectly portraying that essential importance, all while magnifying the true depth of our sometimes hidden individual human greatness.
With kindness we spread love, happiness, joy, and an appreciation for others just like us, at times empowering those us around us, benefiting their emotional stance and given the circumstance in which we uplift someone else we may also benefit a neccesary beneficial self outlook that may have otherwise been complely unapparent to one's needed self appreciation. If you have to power to be kind why not use it you may just be making someone's day, pulling them out of an emotional rut and empowering their own self view portrayed external through a positive emotional view whether it be through a smile or an acknowledgement of their realized appreciation with a thank you. We have the power the enforce positive means of contention among other see the beauty and optimism that not everybody may find and bless those with the power to see the true value that a human existence can showcase, and provide the value of a consitently needed emotional lift that renders people to a better emotional state, all of which done through the simple act of pure kindness, which to me makes the simple act of genuinely being kind very much worth it in the end.

Memories
Memories their sometimes profound, insightful, and at times very meaningful in our existence.We all have them and they come in two forms the good memories and the bad ones. Each distinctive in leaving a profound internal feeling within us all while helping shape the emotion in a human consciousness. How we look back on the existence we've had the privilege to explore thus far in our lives and have gotten to engage in or have been dispondent to fills a life's remembrance and gives the prominent meaning to our self view. A memory provides the mental conjuring of withheld moments no longer rendered in time but rather kept stored mentally, comfortably entered in the mind. We have them under lock and key occasionally to be open at a time of our choosing; at a time of perfect convenience and to remind us where we've been and how far we've come. Memories connect the past to the present, connects what we've forgotten about and reminds us of meaningful ways of why it may resonate with our present and why in some cases it may have meaning towards our continuing evolution.

Music's role
Music, many would call it the unofficial sountrack to our lives some might simply view it as majestic ear candy warming up our heart with its hypnotic sounds, while others might view it as the soundtrack to life itself and then their are simply those who just may view it as beautiful and enchanting audible art.
Whatever the viewpoint music has a variety of prevailing meanings that we tend to attach on to it with a ton of prevailing uses as well.Music at times serves as the perfect compliment to our moods, can sculpt and cultivate our emotions or can just serve as the magic elixer to uplift our internal spirits, It can serve the purpose of being a nostolgic time travel machine and bring us back in time with a certain song or memorable adolescent childhood album; to a mental place or day that will forever be kept in one' heart and that still provides those fond memories that can be captured vividly though the right mental cognitive processing .
Music for us truly is the jack off all trades when it comes to helping change the dynamics of a view, constructing a necessarily mental reasuurement that everything will be okay or just using it as a beneficial sidekick companion, that at that point in time can understand perfectly your emotional state of present well being. Artists from the past and current ones today understand the emotional roller coaster of life the same exact way we do with it's prevailing ups and downs and surprising twist and turns that it can apply to an affected mental psyche, it is then their job with that mental knowledge to relate to those emotional burdens and triumphs that many have experienced, and that they themselves may have gone through, and parley that to the many facing the same noticeable turmoil in their day to day experience. It is through an artist's voice, sound, and a musical melody that it has the magical power to play masterfully with our emotional range add in a specific time frame in which it gets released, a particular emotion and a memorable life moment and music now has left an imprint on a person's life with the space and allotted opportunity to continue to do just that as a person's life evolves.
Music has incredible power, superpowers no, but it does provide that wondrous escape to another mental destination, those soothing sounds that serve as the best stress relievers possible to the human spirit all while being able to take one's mind to new mental territories or forgotten about mental regions , thereby allowing the person who hears it to transport their inner spirits into a new personally instituted mental dimension set forth by the power of sound.
Music is our emotional compass as well, guided by our internal emotions, at times it serves as the perfect compliment to go along with a down trodden day, can be the wise teacher teaching us the importance of a needed life lesson, can sympathize with us through the sudden pain of heartache,or can play the perfect role as the well intention-ed friend that reminds us that it's okay to let our hair down and just have a good time. It is through these varying roles it understands us and we thereby fit it into the navigation of our life days and ongoing experienced journey.
whether it is a sad or happy song, a song to dance to or just a ballad you can share with a loved one music does a great job in wonderfully doing its part in an emotional sence of knowing what its audience wants and more importantly capturing what the audience needs. It provides us wisdom, purpose, hope, strength, happiness, and more often than not an escape from life's harsh met realities.
It is the one art-form that speaks to us the most because it is the one that understands us better than any other, mainly due to the fact it has been and still is created by those who have been through our same struggle, felt our same triumph, and experience the same wide range of our merited and exhibited emotions.
Music's biggest power and biggest meaning is that it is the perfect reflection of us and who we are it is the journal to life itself perfectly spotlighting the emotions of the human spirit within it, all while being viewed through the lens of life. It is the reflection of a person existence the explanation that at times wonderfully defines the portrait of human truth and the description to who we represent ourselves as being, all while highlighting our attempt of decoding life mysterious reasoning through our already felt and still yet to be experienced life moments.
