Pick a path and don’t look back. So many times we weigh options and it’s pointless. You’re going to go where you’re going to go. That’s all there is to it. And that’s ok. If you keep second guessing or looking at other options it’s never going to satisfy. Lose expectations and embrace appreciation and the world flips for you.
Gather up the boats and send them to down stream. We have people to rescue and little time to do it. Overnight, hero’s will emerge from traumatic events. It’s beautiful and heartwarming to see humanity lurching forward to help. Because so much of life is made up bullshit, we seem to motivate when faced with true problems. Remember this about yourself and others constantly.
To enter in the flow of life do not rush. Move but do not hurry. There is time enough for everything. This pace is essential for finishing what you want to accomplish. Too quick and you will lose interest or be disheartened with the result. Too slow you will not like where you end up. It’s a balancing act and worth your attention and practice.
The truth about anything is everything. The cover-up is the crime. The real connections are hidden and the fake ones are made up. The real hides in plain sight, but it is unseen by most. Peel back the onion and take it in. Question everything and you begin to see nothing
Trust the process. When the tides move go with them. The break in the wave starts in the middle of the lake, and then courses through onto the shore, where it breaks apart. The energy becomes absorbed and the cycle repeats. Look to nature for things to branch out into other areas. Don’t be afraid to do the work and explore.
He is authentically inauthentic. That is what they grab onto in this time of information overload. He knows this and he has always known this. The way you get things done is through sheer overriding of any circuits that promote reason or accountability. Bulldoze your path and it will take shape in one-way or the other. Or so you think. Be careful of building the concrete jungle around you. What you may think is progress could drown when there is no channel for it to escape.
There is an importance of growing into non-attachment. Or being disciplined enough to remove yourself from an overriding emotion of the moment. Things will latch on to you without your help. Live the life you want to and see what transpires. This is a type of life that you’re present with yourself and others and do not hold on to the past or daydream all day about the future. Treat others with the respect you would want for yourself and finish the job.
It’s three simple steps. Take a long walk. Eat good food. Engage good company. Repeat. Then repeat again. It’s all there.
Don’t cover up. Don’t numb yourself. On and on it goes shredding your path with it. Turning a good idea on its head for ego gratification. You need to tune them out but instead they have tuned you in. You have to treat them as humans and not inmates in the asylum and move beyond it.
Trial by fire. It takes massive courage and resolve. Going through it is everything. The learning’s from it pay off ten fold. Take a shot and then take another shot. Don’t back down and let it happen. Your mind will trick you into thinking you should not do it. Don’t believe it. It’s just a reaction to save you. You don’t need saving because you are here. You are not a figment in someone else’s imagination. You are here and now and able to impose your will on everyone and everything as you want to.
Today in the states we pay attention to the constant. Something we take for granted as we move about our day will disrupt our paths. A panic to see something that we can’t see will ensue and everyone will scramble for the prime spot. It’s never good enough. All you have to do is step out and sit tight. Everything will unfold in front of you, as it should. But the feeling of missing out is all too real. Ignore it.
The day before it all changes. They just don’t know it yet. Whatever comes out of this the shape will begin to form up. It will no longer be a question of if, but how. And the how doesn’t really matter does it. It will be created because that is what has been turned in. It will grow exponentially and quickly. From city to city it will spread as people grasp for the return of what never left them in the first place. The heart, the art and the bottom line of healing joined as one.
The weight is on you and will bring you down if you let it. Move around it and circumvent the suffering. And if it’s too late, take it in. It won’t kill you. It will be uncomfortable but that comes with the territory. It’s the price of admission in self-discovery. Sign up for that. Everytime. Pretty soon you will have built up a resistance to it. You will be left stronger and more resilient for the next time. It’s a process.
The great divide. Everything is being outdated. The interpersonal relationships are lost unless you venture out to parts unknown. Little pockets of humanity where you know your neighbors so well, you would let your pets and kids be watched as a community. We have lost it so when you find it, it seems foreign from a time past but it is here and now. It is up to us to recapture and recall it.
Some leaders point to a moral compass. They make people feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Others never claim to have one, and don’t make the attempt to heal anything. Morality can be different things to different people, or the same thing to the same people. There is a universal truth that everyone knows but some like to cover up. Don’t look for labels for guidance or purpose. Heal and look inside yourself and reflect that outward into the world.
Look in the trees and you will find the answer. Surround yourself in them and breathe deep. It sounds crazy but isn’t. Try it. It serves as a natural bar for your brain to fixate on. It promotes your innate childlike enthusiasm. For if you have this you are golden. Each experience becomes new and interesting as you imagine it to be. The world around you opens in terms of details, shared struggles, and problem solving. Aim for fun. You will want to help and you will want to find a united purpose.
What if we just all treated each other with respect and kindness? I saw this in a hotel kitchen in Boise yesterday. All different folks engaging each other as humans. They were treating the guest and their fellow workers the same. They were going out of their way to engage to help, to offer service, and it was genuine. They felt good about it because it made them feel good. And suffice it to say the guests noticed this and returned the favor. We sometimes lose the simplicity in this. It can be like this if we want it to be.
The globe trotting life. An endless vacation. But what if you could have it here. Right now. What is the constant need to buy something? It focuses you on a feeling of lack instead of abundance. Going out of your way to be disappointed. Chasing a fleeting high that is never fulfilled. If only I had this, or if only I had that. It’s bullshit, through and though. You don’t need anything because you have everything. Look around.
All sides. All openings. When you are stand for nothing you stand for everything, which in it’s own way nothing. Just the way he wants it I imagine. Nothing to pin him down so he can continue to live his isolated and lonely existence inside his temples he has built from himself. Only venturing out in cocoon of yes men and sycophants. It must be hell in a sort of way. Living in the vortex. Let this be a lesson to venture out. Be curious to understand how others live and expose yourself to different milieus. Then you are never chasing but only discovering on an endless journey towards fulfillment.
Everything is made up to fit a narrative. Be aware of this. You will make connections because that is what you think you are supposed to do. Unmake them. Or look at them with great concern and detail. Half the stuff going on around you is just made up. It is windowing dressing full of pomp and circumstance but adding up to nothing. Keep your eyes pealed for financial systems with no markets, leaders with no experience, and experts with no skins on the wall. And move around them accordingly.
Everyone one has a pace. In order to have the best results you must find yours and live in it. If you do, things will happen as they should, and on your schedule. You will not have to press feel rushed or overwhelmed. Each cut will feel like it made a mark. And things will start to build with you. You can choose to go a different pace but you may find yourself in the weeds.
Everything and nothing is the grind. It never stops because it’s always changing. It’s important to look at the long run and not always what is right in front of you because that is usually a mirage. The truth is unchangeable. That is its very nature and instinct. Remember this as false idols are put in front of you. Move past them and find what works for you. Not you as a person but you as witnessing the person. Then go with it.
You can never know how your internal body operates but you trust it will. Many things are moving in the background unknown and unexplained but granting you the opportunity to live. Try to see the inner workings as the outer workings as well. They are one in the same; uncontrolled by you but creating for you what you desire in a life. But you need to enter it without labels and expectations.
When it matters to, you will do whatever it takes. Find that. Just as important is to find out what you won’t do everything for. So often you engage with a situation that does not matter to you. Be honest with yourself and either create meaning out of it or leave it alone. Nobody will do it for you and you would not want it to be earned that way.
Of course he is going to run. His campaign started as soon as he was elected. Did you not watch? Everything is setting this up. Governing is secondary. It is all about framing; specifically for the next election. He is not letting go. People still don’t understand this and it is playing right into his hand. Don’t buy into this. Get prepped because it’s coming. It’s not the war you think, it’s a war of personal consciousness, awaking yourself to what’s really going on.
There will always be a level of give back to any step forward. It is what it is. Know this going in. There is no easy way out, you will have to grind through it. But the journey of having to do so will benefit you in the long run. You will have off days. It’s ok. It’s part of being human. Accept them and move on. Don’t beat yourself up or get down on the progress. It does not exist and tomorrow is a new day. Don’t question this at all costs.
Go back to the drawing board. Revisit past changes and move forward. Recognize where you went wrong. There are patterns that you have not yet removed, habits that resurface. That’s why it’s more mental than anything. Put yourself into the flow. Don’t fear the result. Go hard and see what happens. You have the talent and the skill needed. You just have to have faith. And don’t forget your preparation.
Fight through it. Through the heat, the doubts, and the weird breaks. Never look at the overall result in the moment. Focus all available energy on what is in front of you. Take a deep breath and go. Your mind will wander. Let it, but always come back to center before proceeding. Let the action dictate each step and add it all up in the end. The truth in there you just have to keep at it.
Just start it. You will be surprised by how quick the momentum will build. Things will seem to fall into place, ideas will pop up out of nowhere and progress will be made. Keep a timed pace so you have an out before you are overwhelmed. When you return to it, it will be like magic. Things will be different as a direct result of your efforts. You can look at this and move on. Then begin again.
Bragging about being chipped, they stumble into the office. More zombie than human, waiting to raid the vending machines at lunch waving their hand for access. It’s so easy and that’s why it’s so hard. When you sacrifice your individual spirit the resorts become killing fields. Rally against it. Pay attention to the details of your surroundings. Plumb them to the depths in an attempt to understand them. Never keep trying to do so, because you will never find the answer. But that's the fun in it.
You have to trust it. You really do. Try and believe there is always a reason you are on your current path. Then it’s up to you to find out why and how it came to be. When you do this you can take some control over it and see the different angles to change or stay the course. But you have to face it. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking it won’t change. It will because it has too.
