The phone never leaves. It's a constant. Always there to show you the story you want to see. Or raise your anxiety up a notch by showing you what may be missing. It's insidious and cruel but we put up with it. And it's getting more and more rampant. It consumes us into a state of longing and despondent trepidation. But you have control. You just have to step out to go within. Remove yourself from your device. It's not you and it never was. It's your projection but it's false. Step into a new world. That is being born and destroyed simultaneously. Nothing is saved and nothing lost. It's abundant and moves forward and in lock step with you not against you. Leave your phone and see what happens.
Focus on something specific that you want. Then write it down and do the work necessary to put into action, and let the situation take care of itself. More often than not if you stay positive, what you request to happen will happen. The timing of it will depend on circumstances out of your control but if you are in the flow more often than not it will bend toward you. Try it for yourself. Until you perfect it.
You don’t have a real job, they say in disgust. What are you doing with your life? You must be independently wealthy they say in contempt. How are you doing it? That’s not important. Understand the why. I never bought into the status of a corportate desk job. When I climbed up a level it did not move the needle. For some it does, I imagine. For me I have realized it does not. I decided to explore projects that move it.
It’s never about you. It’s always about you. You can always see what you want to see. Be careful of this. It is your greatest strength but also can lead to blind spots and misinterpretations. Or correct assumptions that give you fuel in the opposite direction you want to go. In the end everything is as it is and that is all. Be cognizant of the game your mind plays with reality and how it will shield itself to save face and protect ego. Shatter it by moving beyond.
He can’t face the music because he has never had too. He never made any sacrifices for others and deep down he knows it. He is a kid that lashes out when made to feel uncomfortable. He has no backbone except for exploitation and games. He does not stand for anything. A type of person that throws money at a problem then often does not follow through. This is why he pisses so many people off. Just remember these types of cats never win. They may think they are winning but they know it’s all a sham. All the gold in the world still will not fill the hole. He will pass on never knowing true happiness. Something that is beyond anything he can imagine.
Stay curious and open to what is around you at all times. Remember that it’s the process that is important not so much the end goal. You have to have reasons for something as you create it. Don’t overthink it, everything will arrive when necessary. Just get out of the way and let it go where it needs to. Often times you just have to follow.
If something is not feeling right to you simply stop and start again at another time. Don’t fight it. Let is pass and then double down when it's back. You want to try and focus your time on things that will matter to you. Not being twisted by the tides that don’t align. Knowing this is half the battle.
Variety goes a long way. There is plenty of time in the day to have a well-rounded effect on numerous issues. Attempt to design your life this way. This way you will see your energies are focused in each project and you move the ball forward with purpose and without feeling the burnout from them. If you are able to set your own schedule it goes a long way. Take small steps to begin too.
Create your own reality. One that does not punish, but provides. One that does worry about the future, but enjoys the present. One that places openness and kindness over moody and sullen selfishness. We all are striving for the same thing and there is plenty to go around. A daisy chain will be set off in you and all that is around you if you subscribe to it. Test it out. Over and over again
The truth is beyond the mind and body. It is a feeling that is inescapable. Like hitting the perfect golf shot. Where the mind and body are one, the swing passes through effortlessly and connects with a solid yet light piercing force. It feels like you did not even swing but the ball is flying. And your motion is in perfect balance to see the result.
Take of care of items that you are lucky enough to acquire. Respect who came before you, and provide a space and a home for it and them. You will be rewarded for keeping it alive and taking it forward. Many people don’t justify the effort or think they have to tear something down and make it their own. You don’t. Oftentimes you can use what you have been provided and make something better. Little by little improvements will add up to something larger. Just go with it.
You can talk and talk and talk. But you have to act as well. Keep it in and move. The fat man eventually goes down. All of a sudden everyone will come out with it’s safe and pounce. Pile on and on but only when it benefits them. The challenge for all of us is to stand up the first time. And shout it to the heavens.
You need a plan. An outline to guide you that can be ripped up at any moment but still exist in spirit. If you don’t you are flailing in the wind with no direction. Nothing will progress because there is nothing for it to work towards or around. Be there to watch closely as it is unfolding because plans always change. If you accept this you can still be out in front of it.
The big house on the nice street is what you have always dreamed of haven’t you. Populated with people that are forced to be there by whatever false expectations they think they must live up too. In the end it just dismisses the first returns by the clock that never stops and by a life that shelves situations. Moving through but never grasping at another side of things until its too late and discombobulated. A word to the wise. Stop and look around and see how everything lies about.
Observe and report. The only way to act and the only way to learn is to continue to test and readdress. Everything and nothing are connected at once. All emotions are tied to other emotions. It is all created by your backwards mind. Grasping for control and a stake in the game. The issue is there is none. But sometimes you are too blind to see that.
Get to the point. Why is it so challenging to let go and see where this lands? The world will tell you so over and over. If you can’t take some jokes at your expense, some smirks and jeers. What do you think this is a free ride? You pay for this experience so you may as well have input into it.
The goal is the process. The goal is the path. The goal is the work, over and over again. There is no finish line, there is only reps. Recognize this and you will be well on your way. Don’t and you will always feel like your coming up short. It’s a lie that you will tell yourself over and over. So don’t do it. Embrace everything around it and you will never feel out of place.
Real appreciation seems to grow with time. If it is false or not earned it falls by the wayside. You will know when you have the real thing. It’s an overwhelming sense of satisfaction and accomplishment rolled into one. Something that moves you to ponder, seek and readdress. It’s something that when you put it out there, it shows you the story and your place in it. Almost acting as a buoy in a sea of never ending change.
When you first encounter a problem your mind races. It begins to imagine all kinds of scenarios motivated by loss or fear. Trick yourself into anticipating fixing it instead. Focus on the satisfaction of solving it over the trepidation of staring into the unknown. Then take it one step at a time, while course correcting along the way. Suddenly the problem will start to disappear and like magic work itself out. Try it out and see.
Senseless and it will never make sense. That’s why people construct things around it in an attempt to do so. You can’t. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. It’s a sobering reminder to live the life you want. No more waiting around or hiding in the shadows. Step on out and make some hay. Or suffer without.
