The Lessons I Learnt From Christmas’ Past.

My mistakes are about giving up on myself and others.

So, I try each year to pick out the most meaningful mistake I made and correct it this year.

It is like a new tradition.

Sure I wish I could do this with all my mistakes.

But starting with one is a good beginning.

The one I want to name this year is not looking after myself enough.

I tend to have one too many meals.

So, when I do like tonight, I will correct it by intermittent fasting tomorrow.

I will skip supper tomorrow and eat a healthy breakfast and lunch tomorrow.

It may not seem like much but I will stay off my devices tomorrow and do more good when I get off work.

Happy Holidays everyone and good luck correcting your mistakes.

If-

With Authoritarianism on the rise, and some interpretations of “If” by Rudyard Kipling, I thought I’d share you mine.

One Interpretation

This poem is meaningful to me, I use it as a meditation to help me calm down and work out my own problems.

It may be a little old fashion, but there is still some good advice to any person.

I think it talks about living a balanced life.

Come Hither!

Who art thou?

I promise you, five years from now, on November 8, 2025.

I will be older, but so will you.

What kind of promise do you want to make.

Practice the good life, ‘cooperate and collaborate’, then maybe we can talk.

Yes, we can think tank together.

No violence, no big money, unless you come up with a good enough reason.

But, why not, why not have a closed forum, with all members who think, are compassionate, and practice non-violence.

Why not meet behind closed door and see what we can come up with.

It is not revolution, it is evolution. Growing up by any other name.

The Form Of Good: Beauty and Truth

To see inwardly and become aware of the moment will help one see truth and beauty.

But to really understand and research the idea, books ranging on many ideas are wanted and necessary to develop a probing interest towards intent and the meaning of living a good life without unnecessary expectation, pain and suffering, or unnecessary loss.

Most, believe in the ‘ups and downs’ of a good life.

Most, believe this because experience shows we can not control much of what goes on in the world.

Some, believe the good life is about seeing that ‘no harm’ and attending to the day to day is a good foundation.

Much is achieved in the world when people who essentially practice this ‘good life’ will cooperate and colaborate.

With some luck and good fortune, a life is a wonderful experience.

To use the ‘proper use of impressions’ are to live well and prosper.

Is ‘Good’ It’s Own Reward?

History will tell the story.

But before that comes personal experience.

I have seen some good in my time.

For instance, learning to do good.

There is a tipping point where enough personal experience will show perspective.

There are a lot of feelings, thoughts, actions and belief that need to occur to build up enough experience to glimpse the truth.

I am not trying to convince anyone of the truth.

To be honest, most of us need to learn enough to find the way.

But I have discovered a good feeling, leads to a good thought which leads to a good action that produces a good belief. And that will help build a vision for my future.

Now, I can’t get there myself.

I have learnt that I need to cooperate with others in a good way to overcome the mistakes that others will do with me. I am not blaming others.

There is a lot of people that are still busy learning from their mistakes. Just like me.

To visualize where I want to head in my future, I have been targeting specific beliefs in my life. This is not a recipe for truth. What is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander. Or it may not work for you.

There is an axiom in my life: the hole in my heart THAT needs to be healed by doing good for myself and others.

There is another axiom that might be useful, it is for me, consciousness is like an onion, its development is in layers.

I believe I am developing a consciousness my entire life. As I progress, I am able to live a better and better life. My life will never be perfect, but with the appropriate ‘good’ in my life, I can learn to build a improved version of the life I am building at the moment.

I believe that seeing the good in myself and others allow me to control myself in better and better ways.

But another way, I learn from my mistakes because I admit my mistakes and cooperate with others that are willing to help me change for the better.

I have learnt I need to find ‘good’ to heal my heart when it becomes harmed by myself or others.

Philosophy has shown me to examine the reality in my life to overcome my own desire.

But that is another story.

At first this meant to abstain from acting on desire until I can overcome my craving or lack of self control.

Eventually, the same belief grew into I no longer crave this same desire, or I have no desire for this particular thought, action and belief and experience it for its good.

I am saying that I believe it is possible for me to learn to overcome unhealthy desires and change enough to live with healthier choices.

It is like the pain I felt in my heart has healed and I still recognize the folly that use to attract me to do bad for myself and others, but now I feel the good in the exact situation but only choose good.

My personal belief is that we all grow our own conscious based on our choices.

Therefore, good is its own reward.
