A Note To Remember
Today life kicked me in the arse.
Rediscovery of what action has to be taken and where I need to tread.
This key point is to keep moving and listen to my voice.
Too much guidance pulls me apart.
With apathy halted congruence and truth can surface.
Now becomes my sanctuary.

Wunderkammer: Did You Know →
susannacole:
Did you know, you can quit your job, you can leave university? You aren’t legally required to have a degree, it’s a social pressure and expectation, not the law, and no one is holding a gun to your head. You can sell your house, you can give up your apartment, you can even sell your vehicle, and…
World of Purpose
We all need purpose it is a compunction. From an early age purpose is sold to us by our society. It is important to society that we contribute, pay our way to live as expected. The people who inspire, either inherit standing or live in a unexpected way, living by their own rules. These latter inspirations are the minority, society in general live in fear of reaching potential as the individual...

Create a writing habit with "Oh Life" on Line...
I have always liked to journal my thoughts. Its good way of remembering positive actions and dumping those negative feelings.
Over the years a pen and notebook was enough. However, I often would forget to add entries and found sitting down to review past entries was not at the top of my daily agenda.
Now, at a junction in life, I felt it was important to record and review my daily challenges...

Negative Three = Positive Change
Some days things just don’t feel right, some days I don’t feel right, recently more often that not. While pin-pointing where this behaviour comes from, I recalled a cognitive behaviour technique I explored with a therapist a few years ago. How we describe our environment, daily events and self has a significant affect on our outlook on life. Awareness of the words we use in our own...

Learning to Step and Taking a Trip.
The Past month has found me a bit uncertain of everything, went left to its own devices this uncertainty can over exaggerate my internal fears and needs. When scared I feel the need to run,split and, in general, isolate myself from the world.
This fear paralysis needs to be accepted before now can be seen. When feeling fear I crave a different past for an alternate future. This is mere illusion,...

The surprise of "now". A welcomed lesson.
Felt very low at the start of today. Got out and about. This helps me find some perspective on things.
Sitting in cafe Nero sending an email , a little child, about 18 months, came up to me with a toy cow. A conversation ensued with lots of mooing and Laughter. Raising my head up from the conversation I found the most of the cafe where being entertained.
This little episode helped me realise...

Today I ran just over 13 miles........
Today I ran just over 13 miles….. I took me 2 hours 3mins 54 seconds It is the longest distance I have ever run. It helped my vision widen. I found clarity. I see the point now. My single mindedness will provide. My steps will take me forward. My life belongs to me. My community is here. I feel….ready, now.

3 Months in....
I have learned quite a lot about myself. I made the vow to ” do nothing ” when giving up my job back in May. Now I find myself finally reducing my commitments enough to feel comfortable with myself.
The most important thing I have learn is too experience the now, as worrying about the future is a pointless as solving an algebra equation by chewing gum.
My last career took me 10...

Moving Forward
A question I often ask myself is “How do a recognise my forward movement?” Deeper analysis of this demonstrates that progression in life can run in line with societal conditions. Living in an ever increasing world of comparison, progressing with a fresh mind is more difficult than we see. In essence one persons progression is another’s stillness. So how do we no when it is...

Meditation in Practise
Count the exhalation,
feeling the rise and fall,
awareness becomes focused,
project outward,
to feel inward,
in time,
feel before hearing,
hearing before seeing,
extended
the conflict is no more,
it is universal,
it creates now.
