Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:
If there something about yourself that has always been an insecurity or something you are conscious of?
Like a facial expression, how you speak, habits or a body part?
Is there or has there ever been anyone in your life that loves this part of you?
Do YOU love an idiosyncrasy of anyone’s? You might want to think about telling them, they might think that cool.… more “Know Thyself Post #17”
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we learned from PHILOSOPHY:
WIBCI: we took more ‘Before’ Pictures?
When the juices are flowing and you can picture how to make something better than how it is…right now. Take a picture of that.
I think this moment should be celebrated just as good as ‘Afters’. If there wasn’t a Before, there wouldn’t be an After.
Do YOU have any Before pics?… more “WIBCI Post #17”
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If: Consumers mattered more than illionaires and the corporations that are ruining the world?
WIBCI: I didn’t pay for Cable, pay for wifi, pay for streaming services, and yet, be asked to pay even MORE to stop the streaming services from showing adds promoting the streaming service I’m are already paying for?… more “WIBCI Post #16”
Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:
Referring back to Know Thyself Post #7 where I asked you to picture someone in your life who has shown you selfless kindness.
Today I ask, Do YOU think YOU are, have ever been considered that person for anyone alive or dead?
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If: Nature gave me a break?
WIBCI: the birds that start their singsong jam session outside my bedroom window at 4am every morning, didn’t?… more “WIBCI Post #15”
Know Thyself through LITERATURE:
Joseph Campbell (look him up, he is AMAZING) described reaching Nirvana as follows:
‘The condition that comes when you are not compelled by desire, fear or social commitments.
When you hold your center and act out of there.’
When was the last time YOU were quiet, not watching a screen and were without the feelings of: desire, fear or compelling nature of social commitments? Sounds pretty awesome to me.
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we believed more in POLITICS?
For example WIBCI: our leaders had a better grasp of economics?
There is an evenness that needs to exist on a global scale so the consumer can select the best product, not so one country can make all the money.
Better for the Most.… more “WIBCI Post #14”
Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:
Think of three words YOU would use to describe YOU.
Think of three words you think those close to you would use to describe YOU.
Think of three words that you would like to be used to describe YOU.
Which is the best list?
Be that person.… more “Know Thyself Post #14”
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If people sucked less?
WIBCI people were more like Bill Murray?
What do YOU think?
Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:
Gardeners seem to be pretty cool
They have a lot of patience to wait and nurture something over time that isn’t going to make them money.
There are no commercials and no one stealing your identity in a garden.
I bet they think about a lot of things.
I bet they don’t come out of the garden more anxious than when they went in.
I bet they don’t go to bed at night dreading going back to the garden.
I bet they are happier.
What do YOU think?
What do YOU put this kind of focus towards?
Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we paid more attention to how we came off to people in real life?
WIBCI: ‘Thank-you-waves’ were more knee-jerk?
You know, when you are driving and someone let’s you in…..the two second right hand lift over the right shoulder?
Why not?
What do YOU think?
Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:
What’s your favorite song, right now? This will not be held against you and it isn’t a quiz, just pick a song that you dig if you don’t know your ‘favorite’.
Listen to this song a few times through: prioritized order of best means to do this:
Read the lyrics, look at the pictures and do nothing else.
Do YOU like the song more or less?
Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:
Eye Contact…
Have YOU ever really looked into your own eyes? Try it, you have a mirror near by. Really look into them, could you recognize just your own eyes? Could anyone else?
Next time you are having a conversation with someone, in person, look into their eyes.
If eye contact is something you are both out of habit of doing, this could be uncomfortable. Don’t be creepy, and if the other person seems unused to this, just tell them you are making an effort to make more eye contact and see what it does.
I bet you listen better and they feel heard more.

Wouldn’t It Be Cool If those involved in POLITICS learned from HISTORY?
WIBCI: money were considered an addictive substance?
Webster’s definition of addiction: / əˈ / dik / shən: n: a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms (such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence
-illionaires and corporations….will seemingly do anything to get money, they will hurt those they claim to love, they will live, steal, and cheat to get more for themselves. But more isn’t ever enough, they need more than enough, than they need most of it, than they won’t be satisfied until they have all of it. Which they can’t have and wind up dead or in jail. Seem like narcissist junkies to me.
Maybe if it was recognized/acknowledged, it could be treated.
