Debunking a few other things in our lives….

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Why not examine our lives for holes?

If you have ever gone down the YouTube rabbit hole, you know what I mean.

Nothing wrong with YouTube or other users.

It is just the hole I find myself in from time to time.

I get stuck: depressed and tired, angry, obsessed, addicted and lost!

Getting to know myself is the solution.

Awareness is key, but the truth can be more painful than I am prepared to live with on this or any occasion.

Sometimes it is good enough to know I am in a hole.

Sometime I need to stop look and listen.

Maybe it is time to turn off YouTube and go to bed.

What other holes am I stuck in at the moment?

The Good Routine Of Living (And Dying) Each Day

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

It has been a debate that the oldest profession is living, I say that living and dying are one.

It may sound morbid to many that life could be reduced to such things but what is important to you?

The good in a habit, a practice and a ritual is not the routine, but the objective of the routine.

Consider a conversation with someone who may know a thing or two about living and dying each day.

Education is key,

Please listen to the audio book and it’s author’s summary bellow.

On Living and Dying Each Day

The Good Habit Of Reading

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

I could develop a routine to create a good habit of reading, but why bother?

You must learn to be a happier person.

We tend to be a serious about life, books May help you understand life is good, like reading books is good.

You will become wise when you read.

Start that conversation, pick up a book you want to read today.

Does reading pop out to you right now. Spend time right now and learn to read each day.

This Is Important

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Do you ever see nature pop out to you.?

Is your job your calling?

It is time to figure out, why some stuff is more or bigger, right now…

Ever see the Phenomenon, with John Travolta…. Doesn’t matter, he found nature popping out for him or his character George.

My job is my calling, I feel the need to swing by and do some oversight to one of the places I am managing. It is calling me out. I need to admit it is an important thing for me to do.

So, this stuff is important right now to George, John Travolta’s character and me going to work now.

Everyone has these bigger than life moments in the present.

It is worth acting on, but most of the time we feel too tired or too busy to bother.

The truth is that we would be happier and healthier if we would act on these hunches more often than not.

What is most important to you right now?

Do no harm, the proper use of impressions…

A Stoic Discourse

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

To journal about the stoic way.

To be present in my conscious awareness of being stoic.

It is the good life and doing no harm.

To state the principles and steep myself in the conversation and my voice to discover my way.

Much like the morning and evening stoic routine, it is a form or means to become conscious and discover the here and now, what is important part of my life.

To discipline myself in the art of living, is to discover my next step.

In a way, the reward is doing the step forward, committing to the choice, a better way to move now.

Letting go of the desire, or tolerating the aversion in whatever form it manifests.

A bit like Sting’s song about ‘every breath you take’. But do no harm.

What Are You Trying To Do….?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

There is no substitute for good ideals like compassion, and courage and the pursuit of truth and contemplation.

The meaning of life is not a secret.

These ideals will make you more alive.

Some will want to pursue a system too abstract or too ideal.

This system is called contemplation of the self.

But these ideals can be corrupted by counterfeiting and end up harming yourself and others.

So why bother at all?

It is good , during formal education to think about and ‘try on’ ideal to live a good life.

At best you will be happy!

At worst, you will get on with your life.

Keep Your Head Down

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

When someone is trying to knock it off,

Trust yourself and others, but do no harm,

Be patient, don’t lie, don’t give in to hating,

Don’t look too cool or act like a wise ass,

Dream lucid, think straight, but slow it down when you obsess, try to possess or go mental with unrest,

If you can handle fools and accept yourself when you act foolish,

If you can met with success and failure like the same god damn thing…

Risk your money, risk your life,

Keep away from other people’s things.

Push that body,

Push that soul,

Make amends to the brave and old,

Build a willpower with good habits,

Never give into the crowd,

Talk with your betters but don’t forget people you care about,

When you can handle family, friends and people,

When your life follows up on stuff that works for you,

You’ll make a fool of me and be in on the gift to humanity…
