This is called the IOB, or importance of belief. It goes like this.

If one has a (somewhat persistent) belief that his or her time is "coming," the odds are far better than if one has a belief that this time is not going to come or may not ever come.

Take action today. Be mindstrong, and pursue. only. truth.

Jedi Mind/OTA

Here's a fact about behavior, and really about us all.

One need not be B.F. Skinner to appreciate the influence of behavior on the brain.

It is probably more significant in catalyzing change than anything otherwise.

Think about an action such as applying sunscreen - especially this time of year with less Sun.

Simply putting it on near every day not only protects skin (still needs to be), but it stimulates the sense of feel and smell as if one was acting in the depths of warm season. Sure the beach may not be the destination, but this act induces promotion of feel-good brain chemicals (serotonin, norepinephrine, etc) and one can feel maybe even more alive though the Earth is in its usual tilt.

Action rules, and an anti-depressant sometimes need be less necessary with better awareness :)

Thanks

Human Equation

Being true is surely a decision but more importantly an action.

Measurements

A good barometer in choosing how who we want to spend our time with is to reflect upon how much these individuals help us pursue and maybe even achieve the things we most want in life.

Have a great day :)

Health & Humanity

The cool thing about good health is that it can (and truly does) happen anywhere.
Greenland to Croatia to Peru. And most of the themes have rich commonalities.
And to at least a degree, they involve the thing that provides us all with light.
Maybe winking

Only Truth!

Truth is the only thing that really exists.

And the cool thing is that we all are somewhere along the line in this pursuit and discovery. It's the cool thing about being a Human in fact, which is not at all getting the kind of publicity it deserves.

People are Great - in every which one of our fails and glamour.

:)

and legitimacy

When we spend time and time and time on "Fact checking" during and after a debate, something should be clear - regardless of anyone's intelligence.

Few things on Courage

Courage in its essence happens when someone who knows the truth, can most feel the truth, and at its highest - can express the Truth equally with careful regard to whomever may be the audience. Even if one has been advised by many well-payed associates who could be offering reasons to do otherwise.

Obama had some of this. I am not sure who else really has since Kennedy or Reagan? or possibly Clinton to a degree. Kennedy and Lincoln surely stick out though.

If one does not think that through all of the red and blue and glitzy glitz and sensationalism (some understood) of these "debates" that this fundamental and magnetic quality is what the USA most needs at present moment, one isn't right.

We keep trying and trying and attaching to the old formula and a completely new elixir for the most part is definitely what is necessary. I'll be waiting, or even some day maybe participating..

Hemingway said courage was "Grace under pressure." This is a decent description.

Can't Run But

Skyward

When in doubt, look up

Still one of the best insights I think I have ever learned.

The truth is that more answers may lay in the sky than all of our great literatures combined.

There just does happen to be something bigger we are all a part of.

It's cool, it may be scary, it is awe-inspiring, and it's mostly true.

Kids know it, adults can forget it, but we all can join and embrace in the reality of the universe.

Enjoy the day

Thinking about it -

One piece of proof (POP) that we are actually all connected is that it almost consistently has greater long-term feeling to give to another than to receive oneself. Unless one is an 8 or a 12 year-old.

Digest that for a moment

Objectives

If we look at life (which we all happen to be living) more in a manner of each event and feeling as being some sort of test for the next thing that may occur, odds are good that 1) our outcomes will be different 2) our health may be better, and 3) we will find deeper connection with other people roaming as much as we tend to be :)

Anger

While at times a healthy emotion, on it's own it has never really clinched anything.
Attention: many, many people who could be fed up with whatever it might be.
Look within. Collectively this is where the true harmony and repeatable positivity will lie.
Anger + Equanimity may seem like an odd equation, but it is the source of the solution.
See MLK, Ghandi, for two examples.
This is the place we will need again go, making history in coincidence with history.

Opportunity x3

It can be overwhelming to live with a mindset that it may exist everywhere, but the truth for most of us people is that it can exist in many, many more places that we elect to see it.

The word "elect" is actually a verb of power and connection as it is something that if not all of us can do, the good or "vast majority" well can consider and act upon such a truth. This is power, and this is actual power. In some ways separate from so much of what we hear and witness by way of a screen of front page fear-mongering. The truth is that we are all people - every one of us - and we had better lose some of our misplaced minds with relative quickness with the intention of focusing thoughts and movements (and time) on items that require some more specific and overdue attention. I may be simplifying, but Einstein did not have to be a "genius" to propose that we take our cues from nature, and we still desperately need do this at times in consideration of our humanity. Observe any small creature or a soaring eagle or even a tree swaying in a slow mind that may not appear to be growing or existing in our highly sped-up stream of cognition. The truth is more that all there really is Is Life, and most everything we may celebrate or bemoan or have concern about falls right inside this glorious circle.

The Lion King song fits well here, and most all people recognize that movie :) :)

Be Well

C.H.

I've been keen for some time on having a space/studio called something similar to Common Human. The essence is probably coaching "towards the center" and using experience, observations, dealings with other humans to emphasize the far majority of parallels that make us Beings than the propaganda that can cause us to lean away from such a truth. Hope this space is shared and loved with my lady, somewhere in nature or under some great sky with part focus on shaping better people I suppose.


Anyways, here's a ponder point for the week. What is one thing or even two things that you may feel to be undoubtedly true?  It could be that the planet is round (it is I assure) or that love is real.. hope the point is received. The meaning of such an exercise is probably to alter our collective thinking - and maybe just by a bit. The proposal is that many of these things will be close to the same or have a deep thread that can indeed be a tipping point or wellspring where many minds can gather and work in an area that seeks to emphasize and strengthen the un-doubtable. This is true strength, inarguably.


It'll happen too, Have less fear :)

Every day should mostly be about Love. Stand Up. Find strength. Live from that place.

LOL/IOT

One lesson on living for today would be that noone in the history of the Earth has ever been able to experience what one does not take time for. If this has not been the number 1 source of human complaint the last few decades someone explain to me otherwise. Good thing we still have Power.

Hola

The way things work mostly is that all things go in a circle, just like the planet.
To abstain from this acknowledgement is the root of misunderstanding, poor health, and a variety of other fallacies of thought and behavior. Thank goodness animals and nature get it right most of time.
#People

Consideration

Meddling in the life or another (or others) is perhaps a symptom of dissatisfaction with one's own.

Further

My use of Higher previously is somewhat subjective and could be "deeper."
On the spectrum of thought, we all exist somewhere between these two notions.

Ya?

Put pretty simply, the present (or present "moment") is just where it's at.
If we can't quite live in the moment and more deeply embrace our human condition that honestly we could go or actually be non-existent at any real moment in time - then we can't totally live.
These things are inextricably connected, like anything else each one of us might enjoy over the course of an ordinary day. It might be a higher level of consciousness, but it is not unobtainable (in some form) for any human being who roams this Earth. Someone in disagrement would get disputed.

Primary takeaway could be that we can just do a lot better, collectively, and we will. :)
