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. Get Kor’Thank here: Kor’Thank: Barbarian Valley Girl. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on Kindle here:…

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.…

False positivity stresses me out. It feels like I’m holding a massive weight over my head, tiring out second by second. But if I reach for the feeling of true relief—if I go from terribly negative to a little less negative, a little less negative into apathetic, and so on and so forth—my positivity isn’t…

“Better and worse” seem like rabbit holes at best, tormentors at worst. After years of rigid discipline and demanding expectations, I have finally decided to chill out and relax. Now I like to reach in the direction of general improvement and follow spontaneous inspiration. This allows me to keep moving towards general positivity, and delight…

There are some folks, amazingly enough, who say cancer is the best thing that ever happened to them. I believe that as incredible as it may seem, it’s possible to view any adverse event in the same light, and also vice versa: to be completely dissatisfied, no matter how great the fortune or luck.

The “secret to life?” After investigating any number of religious/scientific/philosophical/mystical viewpoints, I realized that at a certain point, they all get obstructively specific about the nature of existence. When they get TOO specific and TOO demanding about “how things should be,” or “the way it is,” then arguments and dissatisfaction come into being. The “secret…

Like everyone else, I’ve had to focus on being functional, but at certain points along my journey, I realized the most functional action is letting myself be a happy idiot.
