| Written on 8/28/02 4:18 pm (EST) Hi again everyone, hope you're all well. Changing times are here and we'll be getting stronger and stronger as a result whether we want to or not. We haven't been left a choice. We've "let go of the wheel" so to speak for too long and we're currently suffering the consequences. I mean this on every possible level - as people, as nations and as a planet. Many of the great minds of the world have fallen asleep and the wake up call is RIGHT HERE. For today's rant, there will be some repeating of ideas again already. This is because we have sufficient knowledge to do almost anything we could possible want. But, we still haven't found the way that EVERYONE gets it. And though this may seem like a very bold and "out there" statement. I believe I've found the precise way that we may all "get it". I'll be doing a LOT of rambling (and I have been) but I'm fairly certain that over time we WILL regain our focus, maintain our dedication, dream - learn and play like the kids we STILL are. Inner child my butt - we're all just bigger, richer, hairier kids. So today I will drop some diamonds off while I'm still working on everything else. Things have been very busy lately (good busy) so I apologize for not stopping in more often to share with you. Virtually EVERYTHING I do now is geared toward me getting this to each and every one of you in the best possible way, so though the website is still very messy, unorganized and well pretty naked - it's still happening beneath the surface and definite, concrete progress IS being made regularly. Here is today's message: We all need each other. We are all the same. Even though we're very different, on a very general, basic level -- we're all the same. We are having the same experience, we all hurt, we are all confused, we are all human beings trying to figure things out. It doesn't really matter where we live, what we look like, what language we speak or what side of the tracks we live on -- we have been sidetracked by television, movies, the rumor mill, newspapers, by people we know, and worst of all ourselves. During this time, our lives have been crying out to us -- begging to be lived. We need to make ourselves realize that everyone we deal with suffers the same disappointments, heartbreaks, insecurities, embarassments and sadness that we do. Nobody's perfect and mistakes will happen every day, it's more or less just a matter of time until you are the person doing the stupid thing that makes no sense. So maybe with this understanding, we ourselves, can be more understanding and patient when dealing with others. How would you treat this person if it was your child or yourself? Consider that before you react to what someone's done. Also consider what effect things may have on your goals and dreams, I have found that many times there is no direct effect on anything that's truly important -- and there's really no good reason to get as upset as I used to. Strangely enough, this one understanding all by itself has reduced so much stress in my life it's a joke. Constantly dwelling on how and where other people are wrong is rarely of any value at all. Constantly dwelling on every way that things won't work is also of very little value. But constantly dwelling on the things you want and the ways you can get them is one of the most important things you can do. The differences in human beings, are in truth, how we are most beneficial to each other. If everyone was the same size, shape, color, religion and came from the same place where everyone spoke the same language and wanted to same thing -- we would never learn. Also, we would be much less helpful to one another. Think about it on a very simple, real level. If you need help moving, you're going to want some of your more hard-working and strong friends to help, right? If you need help reaching something high, you'll want your tall friends help. There are many experiences in life and we can't know them all by ourselves. We learn from each other all the time without even trying, imagine how far we'd get if we actually respected and valued the different people for their experiences that we so greatly benefit from. We all want to the same things -- reasonably good health, financial security, fun, happiness, peace of mind, a sense of meaning, and less pain. If we can't agree on anything else, can we at least acknowledge and agree that every living person -- regardless of color, gender, preferences, etc. all have heads. As stupid as it sounds, it's accurate -- you and I and everyone else have heads. Inside those heads are minds that all work the same way. Let me repeat that and think about it -- every person on this planet has a head, with a mind, that works the same way yours does. We all want better things, we all want to do a little better ourselves and it doesn't always work out that way, because we're not focusing on that anymore. We're paying too much attention to the little trivial things -- that guy cut me off in traffic, that person looks or sounds or smells different than I do, other people are always disappointing me I don't know what I can do, look at everything that person has, I wouldn't do it like that, etc. Nothing outside yourself is nearly as important as you think it is. What matters most is that you know what you want and are doing everything you can, to make these things happen. If we really want the things we say we do, then you'll realize, accept and start living by the above statement. What do I want? How can I get it? I want this so bad I can see it, I can feel it! I know I can do this! I have to do this! I have to have this! I can figure it out! This is going to be fun! These thoughts and statements (and ones like them) are the sign to show you that you're going the right way. Think about it, at all the worst times in your life what were you really thinking and saying? Was it more like: this sucks -- I'm never going to be able to do this, I can't stand this, look at that idiot, I can't believe how stupid I am, this is never going to work, I just don't have the time, I'm always so miserable, I don't know, and things like that? We do know! We just need to stop being lazy and figure it out. Find a way! What would you need to do? What do you need to learn? What new things will you have to become comfortable with? (and that's an important one). Figure out what you want. Write it down. Figure out how you can get it or do it. Write that down. Break these things down into their smallest pieces and start doing those pieces every single day. That is the essential base for having a better life. Yes there are plenty of details, yes there are some other subtle steps, there are thousands of ways to put things so that even more people can understand -- but this is one group of fundamentals, that if practiced, will get you much closer to that ideal vision you create of things. If this sounds out of your league, I will be back to break things down so you can see just how easy it really is. I'm not saying you'll rule the world or anything, but things will be so much better by getting back to what's real, that you won't believe it. I will hopefully see you all again soon, take care of your own until then! I believe in you! (no bs). |
