    Often, the path of least resistance is devoid of short-term comfort. But in the long term, it is easy and right, and your heart knows it.  It speaks to your whole being, rather than just through your physical cravings.

    When times are good, take advantage of the option to bend voluntarily, to venture outside the comfort zone so you can gradually strengthen yourself without irreparably traumatizing yourself. When times are bad, you will be bent whether you wish it or not.  And those who have developed the composure/flexibility to bend with the times will…

    We knew early on that death was inevitable. Strip all the machismo, all the philosophical tongue-twisting, and all the high-school-style drama off that simple fact, and we are left with the basics:  enjoy the moment, be considerate of others, pursue our dreams.  No matter how hopeless things are on the outside, stay light on the…

    Fear is coming.  Darkness is coming. That’s fine—They can guide us toward inspiration and perspective.  We can use them to accelerate toward a state of well-being we’d have actualized slower under other circumstances.

    Musings

    Focus and enjoy, focus and enjoy. I try not to rail against the unwanted; that only draws me into a stagnant quagmire.  I try to focus on what I want to happen, not the things I don’t want to happen, for those will resolve as I direct my focus into a solution-oriented lane. Acknowledge problems,…

    As I’ve grown, I’ve come to realize that negative emotion must run its course, but there’s a point where it naturally skews toward something more positive.  I try to be aware of that organic turning point—when anger becomes easier than clinging to despair, when boredom becomes easier than clinging to anger. In the past, I’ve…

    Adversity will serve us unexpectedly, unless we insist we are destined to suffer.  That insistence primes our subconscious to seek out misery.  We invent a devil—made by us and for us—to accommodate our perception.

    If you focus (or relax) hard (or deep) enough, then something universal will flow through your mind.  It will be uniquely yours, but since it’s universal, it will be everyone else’s as well.  It will echo into all of eternity, and morph into new configurations and unrealized possibility.  This is how I believe creativity works.…
