Only one
thing.
The Immediate Conscious Self
Know that and you know enough about your self, who you are.
Now decide what you want. If you prefer, someone can tell you.
Look Long Or Short For Your Self
What’s found may be different, but the result will be the
same. You will not have changed.
The Inner Self
Some say it’s like the core of the Earth, fixed. Others say
it’s mercurial, and changes; poke it and it spreads into many spheres. Others
say that’s what’s meant by being fooled by your self.
What You Want
If
you don’t know, others will tell you, and politics will pander to those desires
just as happily.
Buy An Identity
and replace the idea that you can create one, or that you are
free to make the world what you want.
Think Of Yes
Yes is a chance. Isn’t that good? Think of yes. The power of
no comes from fear and others. The power of yes unfolds endless chances.
Loving And Loathing The Internet
There, everyone is a judge critic, opinionated, knows. If
you want, you too can know.
Embrace Certainty – Embrace Uncertainty
No one can say if grasping certainty or uncertainty makes
worse or easier. Grasping or letting go, courage to leap is all.
No Prerequisites
Many won’t act until fear and doubt are banished. Instead,
feel the fear and do it anyway.
Expert Political Judgment
How good is it? Throwing darts blind at possible outcomes
gives findings almost as good as the experts’.
Deceptive Appearance
Through argument and persuasion, you may talk someone out of
many things except out of their self.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Objectively? Imaginatively? It’s the second. We are our own
myth; mythical. Objective? About as accurate as memory.
Now You:
When
eventually you or someone tells you that you have done everything, everything,
wrong, _______________________.
Will Power
The
farther from your nature, the more you need, and the likelier your self-control
will exhaust.
Distractions
They
are supposed to be found in the weak. The strong are not distracted. But
distraction may be useful, like realizations, and may be informative, helpful,
revelatory. Flightiness may be as good as steady focus. Why not let each person
find his or her own excitement, merit, answer. Worth may be found in thin air.
Where’s Innovation Likely?
From collegial, tenured college professors brainstorming, or
doctors from around the world gathering on big bandwidth, debating and
dissenting?
Non-boat rocking status quo, or many boats rocking?
Feeling Different
When replacing one brand with another, the replacing brand
expresses and evokes personality but does not actually change the person. The
new brand is only a substitution of a person’s expressive symbols purveying
their consciousness. Who the person is has not changed, but the conscious self
is pleased, happy, expressing.
Can It Possibly Be?
When you own awareness of your self, no one need give you
anything, and you need no one to be aware of you.
Changing People
People
appreciate people who let them be who they are. If you must change someone, try
changing yourself.
Branches Of A Tree
With infinite possibilities of how they look that they can
grow, actually they can grow in only one way and no other.
Diseased, Disordered, Disabled?
Or instead, owning a different style of thinking than what’s
typical of most people. And so, no cure is needed.
Life By Accident
Potential
is reduced when obsessing about making a mistake in choosing. Obsess on what
requires perfection. Toward the rest, freedom from worrying about choices
enhances choice.
Unique You
Human:
the only existence in the universe who through free will can influence the
future.
A Few People
are
able to see everything that happens in their life as good. To them nothing is
ugly, nothing accused. They move on. They want nothing to be different past,
present or future. They not only bear what is necessary, they love it.
Likely Wants
Control
over one’s work, get better at what one does, be part of something bigger than
oneself. Author – master – actor.
Imagine The Chance To Appear Strange
What if you sought uncertainty instead of certainty?
Seek uncertainty, and expectations are what? What becomes important? What matters? With certainty, expectations can be shattered. Imagine someone saying I seek, follow, advance in uncertainty, and I’m not afraid, I’m thrilled! Strange, no? Imagine.
The World People Want
Asked what they most wanted, people around the world
responded happiness. Costa Ricans: happiest people on the planet, and doing it
with a fraction of the resources of the average American family.
A Way Of Acting
Fear keeps people from acting. Fear paralyses (not lack of
time, money, knowledge). It’s fear and the self doubt it creates. Standing
before a snarling uncaged tiger – fear; otherwise, know it is your ego playing
tricks. Be it’s playmate or chose not to play.
Nice To Know
It’s heard that a real man is true to his self, pursues his
dreams, works through his fears.
Trick Questions
What would you do if you knew you could not possibly fail?
What would you do if something were easy to accomplish?
After realizing a
miracle or the impossible, you ask what were you so afraid of.
Good News
You can have who you are, wherever you are – in your head,
in your heart, in your imagination.
The Wheels Come Off The Bus
What kind of engine within you churns if you believe that
not getting what you want could make you just as happy as getting what you
want?
What would such an economic engine do to a society?
What Feels Good
When we find something that confirms what we believe, we’re
rewarded with feel-good.
Belief Dependent Reality
Beliefs dictate what’s seen. We look for reasons to confirm
our beliefs. Contradictions become conveniently ignored.
Every Self
is so riddled with conflicts of interest, it chronically
resists examination, and what is found, refuted. Doesn’t matter. What’s found
is likely what’s most valued.
Whatever Your Center
It helps find what you want: love, kindness, beauty,
knowledge, money, power. The value of all else, subordinates to this central
passion.
The Side Against You
Boundless unforgiving terrain, brutal self-interests,
powerful elites, guarded fortresses, keep-out enclaves, defended laws police-protected
and armed to the teeth. While inside you, only the need to step away from your ego,
and to your passion.
Our Emotions Our Selves
Through your favorite brands, you experience and express
your emotions, and pay for the privilege – of the one or two feelings expressed.
Are you good with this as the way to awaken your feelings?
Fear Of Defining Your Self
What everything is comes out of exclusion. Something added
means something else is left out.
You Decide
Your vision at odds with customer tastes? Then change
vision, change customers, don’t’ change. Up to you.
Action And Reaction
The more inspired and satisfied you are, the more positive
and approving those you meet react and attend to you.
No Approval Necessary
Others needn’t approve of you – unless you depend on their
approval, satisfaction, or fulfilling their needs. You be the judge.
Reflecting On Your Self
That is one thing. Being your self, that is something else. Through action, choose what to call you
own.
Not Unique?
People may not want to know your story. You yourself can
still succeed. Find joy, contentment, growth – everyday inspired.
Just Pick One
Once the number of choices is narrow, the one picked is
unimportant. Any will do. Further analysis, data collection, is as much random
as valuable, and only confirms the decision otherwise made. The choice will not
be any better.
Your Own Self
You have the power to combine everything you lived through
into something with nothing left over.
