What is manifested consists of universal form and detail. To manifest something, one must meditate on both form and detail. Inventive energy/action causes it to happen.

Do not let others define your success. Each is to define their own version of success. Define what it is to be a good father, good husband, person, etc… This goes further than what society’s definition is, but your own deeper meaning as you balance your own values. By setting your own version, you become an individual not predetermined by anyone pre-existing, but truly real to yourself. Only you know how to measure your true success, true happiness and understand what it is to be true to your own being.

The theme I keep running into is that my story of my life doesn’t matter so much as what matters now. Right now!!!

Change is inevitable. You can try to hold on and stop it, you can also spearhead change to blaze a new reality, you can also let go and be one with it. Everything has it’s own lifeline. The babies you see today will outlive you, the rocks, stars and ocean will outlive everything. The one thing that is constant is the present; a present for you to enjoy if you simply choose to.

I don’t need Facebook… It should not define what today’s standard of being social is. If anything it should enhance being social, but all it really does is fill in the gaps of time people would be doing something more important. Creative people need down time to process their reality. For me personally Facebook provided access to news, but I’ve also come to the conclusion that’s something you get from osmosis by being in social interaction on a daily basis regardless.

I was one of those really clean organized kids who cleaned their room and organized their clothes by color and I really enjoyed it. I remember enjoying opening up my closet to find everything put back as I wished. I’ve kind of let things slide over the years I don’t think I can keep up with all the stuff. My best solution is to get rid of it all leaving the essentials. You only need very little to be happy and actually having less makes me more happy :)

Some of my things are organized, some are not… I need a streamline system or a cheat sheet to keep me on track.

There is a need for high energy:

work

There is a need for peace:

home

Sometimes you lie to yourself. It’s cheating you and this cheats
everyone else.

Refrain

I can’t simplify enough.

The noise of the internet, technology, etc drowns out the meaning of life, the important cues, signals which are no longer being attended to. No achievements will be made, nothing gets accomplished.

This is not to say the internet and gadgets are useless tools. There’s a balance to everything and the internet has an immense amount of information you can become engulfed in. Gadgets should yield to the potential for humans to achieve greatness and they should enhance creativity rather than fill emptiness with superfluous busyness.
