#Famous – poetry

Famous, instantaneous, happened over night now I’m in the lime light.

Needed to be, needed right now, five foot tall in the crowd but they want me to speak loud.

They following me, not leaving me be, I signed up for the money the power but I gave away whats free.

I’m making people smile, when they spending their money I’m making it their worthwhile.

Staying ahead of the game, I’m making the rules not serving my ego but serving the youth.

Making plans for a brighter future, planting seeds, speaking to inspire, leaving a legacy because I’m being me.

Now you be you, know that you can change the world if you really want to. I mean your changing it now being here in the position your in is effecting everything. Stay aware of your power and don’t let no one take it from you or another.

Death – you earnt your answer!

Do we just die and expect nothing to exist in the afterlife?

I’m not an atheist nor am I religious; I do like to stay awake at night and imagine if I hear a noise it’s a ghost with some divine insight on how to live my life better but I’m constantly disappointed and hear nothing nor see anything. I don’t doubt there might be something there but my receptors must not be set to “spirit view”.

Then it makes me think. Am I just led to believe that something exist? is it comfort to know that when I die, there may be a hang out with all the cool cats and family that have gone before me.

Are they preparing the next world like they prepared this world for me before I was born.

I can find comfort in those ideas but not assurance as no one ever has died and returned to share their discoveries with me.

I guess when I die, I will have earnt the right to find out and maybe be laughing to myself when I start to realize life is eternal in two distinctively different ways.

Poetry – I come with a gift

It’s been a few years since I saw you last,

My beard has grown and my income is sparse.

Life has been cruel and my luck has not turned,

Only one thing I have is of heavens worth.

Reach out your hand and in turn take my own,

In my palm is a seed. Now yours to grow.

This seed is not magic nor ordinary,

But no soil or sun is part of its caring.

It grows with ideas, dreams and adventures,

Yet will not sprout with fear, insults or hurt.

I see inside you a heart that is gold,

Unlike myself, no more shine now I am old.

Make the most of this gift, don’t let it go to waste,

There is more heaven on earth in the seedling minds place.

Routine

Nothing could be more tortuous to a life then routine.

What does life consist of to you? is it looking for excitement? fun? new experiences? a sense of adventure? to me these are all the ingredients to life and nothing challenges this belief more then routine.

Going to bed every night at the same time. Getting up and going to work, to sit in the same traffic to get stopped by the same traffic lights. To fulfill the same work to get your same wage. Routine is something we all must encounter at points in our life. We do this at school and it trains us to to do this as adults.

I’m sure this is the kind of #alienation Marx was talking about in his writings.
So I am rebelling against routine today! I am breaking the mold as if today to me is routine free national holiday. I will live life by the cuff and sit on the edge of new boundaries. These new experiences may ultimately become my new routine but with reflection and the power to change things; I will constantly be in a state of flow and adaption.
Today shall be fun!

Illness

“Everyone is dying; some just get there quicker then others.”

Now let’s get this right as soon as we are born we begin to die. So death ultimately has an unbeknown connection with us from the start.

What I find interesting about this little conundrum is the bodies ability to keep us alive. Our bodies work, strive, and constantly try to keep us in a happy,healthy state of body and if we are fortunate enough we live a long, illness free life. So what is it about illness that is so important to title a blog about? it’s awareness!

Illness automatically creates awareness and delivers to the brain – apart from a million oh my god I want to die messages, that it needs to change something either being lifestyle, eating habits, or mindset.

So the next time you are feeling like a tornado is tearing through your body, embrace it. Have the knowledge that you are improving the immune system, your lifestyle and mind in order for you to continue to be healthy.

#Timing

“The terrible things in life, just like the good, have the ability to be perfectly timed for any occasion.” – rossolosophy

Would you say your life is pre-determined and all that has to come has already been laid out for you?

I am not of this belief, I believe life gives you a #choice and with that choice only certain situations can occur.

If we role play you can see how I may be wrong. the story begins with you being in your room and you see this storm appear, from this point the storm becomes more fierce and a hurricane develops. Being at a safe distance you observe some more and see it leave a trail of destruction in its path and as it destroys everything it leaves one house untouched; not a tile lifted or a piece of grass disturbed from its roots.

If we look at this storm from the beginning we have to accept that a series of perfectly timed variables needed to co-operate and be present for the storm to turn into a hurricane.

“Even the most destructive forces are a sign of perfection.”

Now if we return to the untouched house, are we to say that this is a miracle? how can something destroy everything in its path but leave a house untouched? we have to assume that the timing of the purchase of land and the building of the property and house were also apart of that same perfection.

My opinion that we make our own choices does not stand in good faith with this example shown but I continue to believe we make our own choice on the view that we are the starting point of the chain of events called life that may be beautifully destructive or perfectly evasive. We just shouldn’t decide whether one is better or worse. It is all the way it should regardless of the way you feel at the moment.

I will give this more #reflection in the #future.

And consider the timing, if you come across this #story

Life in grey

Your idea of the good life is different to my idea of the good life.

Not Quite an extreme statement, but for this topic I’ll try to work in extremes, it helps to keep the picture clear when explaining my theory; otherwise we could be lost for hours in why #turtlenecks are no longer in fashion or why #susansarandon is still so damn sexy. Anyway to me #Lifeisgrey it has to be without the grey there would be no debates, opinions, wars or even great rivalries. Life would just be one black page, or white and the words written would have no purpose as they will no longer contrast onto their background.

“Opposites attract? this may be true but you never hear of two people sitting on the fence, getting married and living happily ever after.” -rossolosophy

So why is accepting the grey so important to me? This might be easier to explain by looking first at others. I tend to find that everyone has their own white or their own black or red or purple; their way of life that they stand by and with these colors they set up their morals and ethics and forge a life that makes them who they are. They decide and chose what’s important and what makes their life purposeful and adds meaning. This is not a bad thing I think it’s great how people dive into life, problem solve on the go and adapt to their surroundings, accepting this world for what it is. This is something I have not yet done, I have to some degree but I am constantly judging between the two choices in life when faced with a decision such as, should a man exact revenge on others or forgive? should one man devote his life to earning money or live a materialistic free life not harboring the need for cash. What if being in this world, you have received the greatest gift, which we call life and yet what is the point of living if your not utilizing it to its maximum potential. I feel like my life can never be one constant state. Maslows hierarchy of needs is irrelevant to my indecisive mind of what’s important. I look at others lives and see the beautiful colors they are yet I don’t even know what color to chose let alone the palette to rest the colors on. I live in the grey afraid to commit yet foolish enough to engage in the game of life.

Some late night pensing.
Great day to the colors who read this far.

Random thought Explosion

It has been a while since my last post. Few reasons being lax, procrastination and life getting in the way, but the events in the last week have made me question if I am missing something important in life. Ok, so on monday it was a pretty ordinary day until I fell of my scooter and painfully hurt my back. Thursday I was verbally abused by my manager. Friday I was punched in the face by a girl from a long standing relationship and saturday I was involved in a car accident with a friend where we spun out of control and finally come to a stop on the nature strip, unhurt.

These events are not usually the norm in my life but if I reflect on the three weeks before then it may explain the chain of events that seem totally unrelated or perhaps there is something more…

I am big believer in energy, this is not the usual energy that is running through my computer but its not far off. This energy is in all of us, and like the air we breath in and out is directly connected to the world in my mind anyways I believe I can change my environment with this energy. I play games with it all the time, for example those phone calls of people your thinking of, people you haven’t seen in ages suddenly turn up when you think of them. Small games, but I have been trying to work on bigger moments, my guinea pig has been work and the customers my wheel. These games rely on making quiet times busy and busy times quiet and its working. At the time I was tapping into my energy I was trying to work out the meaning of life, as a philosopher this question interests me. However if you seriously consider this question it may become depressing because I can not really find one grain of sand that gives purpose to life, we just exist. With this being my conclusion until further notice I kept existing and living my life as normal. BUT what I didn’t realise is life has a funny way of using this energy whether I’m aware of it or not and maybe, just maybe life is communicating back to me with memorable moments to say Hey this is life, this is why its worth living, for the uncertainty and excitement of random events occurring. Im not sure this is a sound argument to make however I’m as confused as I was before I started writing this post and my only thought I’m going to focus on is was it my energy that has inspired life to take me under its wing for a fleeting affair away from my autonomy? maybe… ill keep you posted

Power to the Quiet people

This video clip helps make sense of the joy and tranquility of being in your quiet space. It sums up the strengths and disadvantages of your specific personality trait. For me neither Introvert or Extrovert is better then the other, in fact we share both qualities of the two types. I just like the way the presenter explains and dissects the importance of being an introvert. Enjoy the clip it goes for twenty minutes.
