Am I asleep and dreaming, or dead and just remembering?

An age old question. Unlike most other questions, we will search for this answer our entire lifetime, and probably die, still wondering why we live? Is it me, or does this seem just a little odd?

When is it enough? As a 36-year-old, white American male, I am supposed to be able and willing to carry the responsibility of the whole world on my shoulders. Never mind the fact that nobody really gives a damn whether or not I fulfill my dreams or desires. No time for all that nonsense, go to school, get a job, put that money in the bank for your future, have a stroke and die, while all your efforts go to your family or friends, because now you're just too dead to enjoy it anyway! Damn the luck!

Been to any of the places I hang out yet? How did you like it? I know my list is a little boring at the moment. However, it will get better soon!

How do people actually look in the mirror each day, satisfied with who they are? I try hard, not to judge others, but when people will tell the police on their own family members to try and stay out of jail, or you find out your best friend is a convicted rapist and child molester, what are you supposed to do?

Another of those hard questions! However, this one I think I may have actually figured out. I do my very best to treat everyone I know & meet, like I expect them to treat me. I find I have a lot less stress in my life living it this way, however if I feel I'm not getting treated fairly, I completely break all contact forever!

That may seem weak, or simple, but it is effective. It's also a hell of a lot easier than carrying around a lot of anger and, mistrust, when you could be holding on to whatever it is that brings a little pleasure into your already too difficult world. I see most things in BLACK & WHITE, but there are many shades of gray.

Look before you leap.

That is the first step to a fully satisfied existence. As humans in today's society, we want it all and we want it our way. Hurry up, my time is limited! We are programmed from birth that instant gratification is good for us, that is a lie! When it comes easy and fast, we don't think about it. We just do it! I know that's cool! I mean who has time to actually consider the ingredients we put into our self-gratification? You know the ones, GREED, LAZINESS, DECEPTION, all of the things we use so well and effortlessly. My success and happiness should not harm anyone in anyway! There is enough to go around, I swear!

Take responsibility for your own actions.

I hear people explaining why they do the things they do all the time, and I have to wonder how we ever made it this far as a species! Cockroaches have more morals and standards than most of the people I know. Tell me, when someone says, "I could've been a great leader, but my parents treated me bad so now I'm just struggling to survive," are they trying to convince me or themselves? I understand conditioning and nurturing are very important to a developing child, but at some point the child must become an adult! I could have been a great Attorney, but instead of using my talents to my advantage in a school somewhere, I chose to be cool and hang out with my buds getting high. See the difference? We make choices everyday, some work to our advantage others may work against us, but we make them just the same. Let us be big enough to live with them, good, bad, or indifferent!

Focus

In all aspects of our lives, we need to maintain control. How is that possible? Simply by paying attention to your surroundings, and keeping your goal in front of you at all times. Writing down your goals are very important. By doing this, we are actually imprinting on our sub-conscience, the blue prints of accomplishment. When you write down your goals, then read them on a regular basis, your magic within automatically produces the results your working towards.  

Just a little south, in Central Oklahoma. I was born in Norman Oklahoma, in May of 1962. I am the epitome of a Gemini. Anything you have ever read about this particular sun sign fits me to a T. Outlaws in Oklahoma City raised me, until I was fourteen, then I left home and thumbed to California. Since then I have been all over the country and lived just about every type of life-style you could think of! Now it looks like I have came full circle. "There's no place like home."
