IQ + EQ = LOL

It is not a character issue. I am not lazy. I am very conscientious. I have a problem finishing projects. In the past, I would chalk it all up to being Bipolar. Yeah, that it is the depression held me back. Oh yeah, and the mania kept me from focusing. The anxiety put me in fear mode - so, I was scared of what may happen and become of me. Why start and try to finish something when I was invariably not going to finish because I would only end up killing myself. 

Bullshit! I say! When I was well and high functioning I got a lot done. The best way to come out of a depression is to help someone else. What is the best way to do that - write something, something meaningful that will touch someone - somehow! While a beautiful song that touches my heart and others and that pulls me out of a funk - is very helpful.

Someone once told me that I was “Lazy with my art”. I don’t feel that is the case. Thinking about emotions or having feelings about your thoughts is the best or worst place to be because you are at the epi-center of your being.

Things come up that you had not thought of in years and then the emotions coming rushing in. 

I believe after all these years that it is the third part of the holy trinity of the sovereignty of self is - Will (or the call to heal and improve). The first two being 1. Thinking (or mind) and 2. Feeling (or heart).

They say where there is a will there is away. But, we get in our own way by overthinking or dwelling on negative emotions. That is when we use our will to leverage and to lift ourselves out of the mire and muck of self-denial and self-sabotage so that we can see what success truly looks like (an expansion of our happiness).  

Then we can stand upon newly acquired ground with a new or re-established purpose and advance into the person we were destined to become.

TRIBALISM WILL SURELY KILL US ALL

Like a pack of hungry wolves, we seek to eat and destroy our prey. That hunger that thirst that cannot be satisfied can eat us alive. When some of us have all that we need we want more. More than we can ever use. More and more and more that is our mantra. When disasters happen, we are instructed to consume more for the cause. But that is only instinct. However, it does not serve the good, our good or the collective good or the greater good. Our economic system is based on consumption. More hunter than a gatherer. We rely on a cheap source of energy that destroys the environment when new economies can build on newer more sustainable and environmentally friendly renewable forms of energy i.e. solar, winds, waves. We can leverage what is already there. That is Humane – for us and our home. Animals take care of their homes, dens, hives, nests, we destroy and spoil what was given us with our never-ending appetites.   Preservation and now restoration must be our focus lest we

Come what may, whatever tomorrow may bring, we need to deal with it and move on! The world is in pieces and we can not change it or fix it with the same thinking that got us here. Greed and Selfishness will not be tolerated moving forward. The truth will be first and foremost the determining factor on every decision and petty bullshit will not be tolerated. Stupidity and ignorance - willful or otherwise will be called out and not be allowed to continue. We are all in this together the Social Compact must be adhered to and practiced and encouraged if we are to survive and evolve beyond this moment in time. "Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." ~ Hermann Hesse There is a lot of misinformation out there. Conspiracy theories are running rampant. Fake news, disinformation, social media is inundated and saturated with memes and cartoons depicting gallows humor a person doesn't know what to believe - so we cower in our c

TREATING THE SYMPTOMS NOT THE CAUSE.

FOR-PROFIT AND DIVIDENDS "Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere" ~ Blaise Pascal I was recently diagnosed as having Type 2 Diabetes. I went to the Dr. for a regular check-up to get a physical. Pretty routine stuff. He scheduled me to get labs done. I hadn't seen him in a couple years. So it made sense. Saved time so he had the baseline numbers PSA etc.. to work with. Turns out my blood sugar was through the roof - 15 when 5-6.5 A1C is an acceptable number. He said we would treat it with meds first then pursue getting the number done with diet. I thought ok. It was all new to me. I did not even realize that I was looking at diabetes until I asked him what was going on. Later after doing some research, I realized that the Dr. did not even mention exercise or what foods I should eat or other options as far as medication. I did n
