    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Try this:

    Go outside into the analog world with no electronics.

    Stand on the closest thing to the Earth as possible.

    Look around until the voices in your head stop telling you about what you have to do. This could take awhile. Be patient.

    Look at the sky…..watch it.

    Stay outside until you notice something beautiful.

    What did YOU notice?

    Rinse and Repeat tomorrow. Maybe for longer.… more “Know Thyself Post #5”

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Look at YOUR Art:

    Try this: walk around wherever you call home, find a picture/painting/piece of art hanging on the wall, and go look at it…..Really look at it. Take minutes doing this. Sit down and look at it from a distance and then go right up to it and look at its minutiae.

    Do YOU like it?

    Where did it come from?

    What does it mean to YOU/why is it hanging in your home?

    What does it say about YOU?

    What does it make YOU feel?… more “Know Thyself Post #4”

    Skateboarders…..

    I think kids that learned/are learning to skateboard are Better.

    They spend hours trying, watching, learning, and most importantly failing.

    Just because they want to.

    I’m impressed by the focus and fearlessness that is necessary to get good at something that physically hurts and takes a LOT of time.

    If I were ever interviewing someone, I would ask them to name something they spent a lot of time doing when they were young. Points would go to the skateboarders.

    You have proven focus and aren’t afraid of failing.

    I’d hire you.

    Makes me think of the things I really focused on throughout my life. Like go-to-bed-waking-up-obsessed-with kind of focus. I don’t remember feeling anxious. I remember being happy.

    What have YOU really focused on throughout your life?

    Skateboarders Rule

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    Ever notice when you are in a car waiting to take a left, the oncoming traffic often speeds up (front of the car goes down on acceleration), like they wish to hit you?!

    Is this truly the goal?  Would the oncoming driver prefer to hit you, than have to slow down? Perhaps the intention is to intimidate you to not dare occupy the space in front of them? Don’t YOU know who THEY are?!

    Seems to me, they are dicks.

    Next time you are driving, see if ‘they’ do this.

    Better yet. Notice if YOU do this…

    Know Thyself through PHILOSOPHY:

    I believe Focus is Key.

    Try this: Take a walk. Go outside if possible. Focus on consciously utilizing all five of your toes with each step you take.

    How is YOUR posture? Are YOUR shoulders up and scrunched or down and back like your shoulder blades could almost touch?

    If not, try and correct this consciously…. have you noticed how you can actually just tell your body what to do? You can actually make yourself taller, try it.

    Do YOU feel more in control?

    Imagine focusing like this on everything YOU do. What do YOU Think?

    Multi-tasking sucks.… more “Know Thyself Post #1”
