Third and Final Installment of the Majesty of Dale Sullivan
Even though I didn't know Dale from Adam I did feel a bit jealous of his tenacity. Firing from the hip he came out blasting toward that woman. Now, she was caught off guard by his demeanor especially when he did a quick spin before shaking her hand. In most cases I would just pass this guy off as some freak looking for attention. Not so when it came to Dale. When you looked into his face one could sense that he genuinely believed that this was an appropriate and endearing way to encounter people. And surprisingly it was to this woman. For before I could take another sip of my drink I could see that there was a smile split from ear to ear across her face. It was wonderful to see. Majestic, really. It was at that moment that I learned one of the biggest lessons in my life. If you believe your own truth it somehow becomes a reality. It may not be accepted by all but if it is by you, it can be contagious.
