Special

Why must I make you feel special?  Do you want me to do special things for you?

I have a problem with this task.  You dare to believe that when I do something  "special" for you it makes you feel special.  How vindictive.  How shallow.  What a waste of self indulgence.  Isn't feeling special something you know you are or not?  Because feeling special should come from within.  Receiving it from someone through kind acts is like a carrying a validation card that notes that you are special.

Shouldn't we do things out of the generosity of our own uniqueness.  Its about being genuine.  To be bewitched body and soul.  To be real.  To be honest.  To be genuine.  Gestures that are genuine are honest, true and SPECIAL.  These gestures you believe are in the true likeness of what we therefore conclude to be special.  It is an effort well worth its time and patience.

People often  wonder why they waste their energy and efforts into doing something special to make someone feel special and when it fails they feel like a complete idiot.  They feel stupid for wasting their time and energy.  They then hence feel un-special.  However, if these acts of special were done in a genuine form from the heart, mind, body and soul then it is special without effort.  Anything genuine is in its realistic form.  Gestures that aren't genuine are idealistic because we are daring for a Cinderella ending.  A fairy tale gesture is just a story told in one perspective.  A realistic gesture is a story told and retold from both points of view.  Hence being special and feeling special are existing special.

Be genuine.  Be true.  Be realistic with an idealistic heart.  Being special comes from within.

To know or not to know

So someone asked me how I know so much about so much... and I answered:  "Well when you participate in knowing the unknown, then you know."

And with that came the famous RCA dog imitation of cocking your head to the side.
How do I elaborate to my curious mind of trying to find an answer to every question?  Well easy!  I am a sponge.  I absorb every information there is possible and due to my curious nature use that to maintain a library of a collection of thoughts that randomly categorizes itself into my brain and comes out of my mouth in explanation when asked the question that needs an answer.

Does that help?

Consistency

So my good friend, George, who I consider him to be my little brother asked me this question:  "Why is it so hard to stay consistent, even when you know you really have to?"

Well George, first and foremost consistency is a quality that you have to work on.  It is a routine and mundane task.  But the routine of it makes it uncreative and not fun at all.  Its mundane ability makes it boring.  However, consistency creates a good realm especially if it is business or finance related -- well at least when money is in concern.

Your conscious tells you that you should really stay consistent especially when it is coming out of your mouth due to the fact that then you become an untruthful person.  Consistency proves you to be reliable and predictable when it comes to work.  Rewards are easily given when consistency played accordingly.


Why is it hard to stay consistent?  Well most of us who are very active and creative love change.  It fuels us to be different and unique.  However, it also makes us unreliable sometimes.  People that love consistency are owners of businesses, bosses, executives, and routine maintenance workers.  Too many variables can cause an overload of work and long hours.  But consistency in the workplace creates less damage and more effective work skills.  


You know you really have to because you know it'll make you life easier.  But we want change and a new outlook so we stray.  So if we add new things to our lives without it really effecting our lifestyle of staying consistent then we can see that we can co-depend, co-exist, and c0-develop into being consistent with many aspects of our lives.


Consistency is key when needing it to prove something.  In this world of doubt and fear, consistency is our friend and confidant.  It helps us weigh out options.  Change makes it hard to stay consistent, but if you can notice and change with the signs of the time and its trend for the future then keeping consistency won't be so hard.  As long as you feel peace, oppositions will just exist but not attack.

Finish: To Do List

The breakdown of the week ahead usually always begin with a To-Do-List.  Each day brings on a new task or assignment.  I think most people plan on week by week and do it the way I do it:  A. Create a list.  B. Put it in some kind of an order.  C. Coordinate with your calendar and schedule.  And finally, attempt to do it from easiest to hardest or the obvious... time sensitive tasks first.  

I usually break it down by days of the week.  Well Sunday begins and Sunday ends.  Like this:
Sunday:  Write out To Do List
Monday:  Attempt to do the first 3 things on the list.
Tuesday:  Attempt to do the next 3 things on the list.
Wednesday:  Revise To Do List and add to it if need to for that week only.
Thursday:  Now attempt to do the first 3 things on the revised list.
Friday:  Make sure all banking, bills and postal service needs are met due to weekend.
Saturday:  Finish most things on the list as you have to revise for the weeks ahead.
Sunday:  See if all things are done.  See if you are ahead of any schedules.  And write another list for the week ahead.


And that is how a To Do List is made and kept.

The Importance of being Earnest

So we all know the famous tale of the Tortoise and the Hare.  But how does that fable teach us to have that sense of urgency to survive in this fast paced world?

The importance of being earnest in the new millennium has left us at a cross road.  Do we pace ourselves to the point of relaxation and steadiness or do we follow in speed of traffic?  If we don't catch up with our minds to the every bit of knowledge thrown at us -- do we ever catch up?  Can we survive in this dog eat dog world?  I say:  Trust your instincts.  Wouldn't it depend on the situation?  How do the fast and strong relax?  And how do the slow and meek catch up?  Is this the diabolical difference between the haves and have nots (not in the sense of status or money)?

Generation "Delayed Family"

So a patron of mine asked me if I would get married someday.  I said maybe.  It depends.  Then I realized that it depended on my success.  I have to find success in what I do good.  I don't want to be successful at something other than what I WANT to do good.  Does that make me selfish?  Or does that make me protective?


I think nowadays people get married because they want to.  Before they did it for social status, a better future, a better life.  We have a choice now.  I think most people would choose not to for the sheer fact of less drama.  What does getting married entitle us with?  A lifelong partner.  Is marriage the meaning of having a FUTURE with someone?  Can't we have one without it?  Is a legality issue when it comes to what you get to keep and not to keep?  When does it all just phase out for the better good or the judgment of good?


I know I would delay for the mere fact that I can barely support myself financially and emotionally. How the hell am I to juggle two?  Its a balancing act for sure, but when the dance is all done... its not just two.  Now there's three.  And its not a balancing act anymore -- its a dance routine.



Perform lobotomy

If I could create an antigen to stupidity, I would.  I don't know how I grew more patient every year, but I did.  I think I just grew too tired to fight.  Or perhaps, I learned to fight better.   Getting angry becomes a waste of energy.  And for sure not worth it.  But is that a healthy transgression for the future?

Some of us are lobotomized naturally.  Born abnormally tranquil and sluggish.  Some of us induce ourselves to a lobotomized state with pills, alcohol, hallucinogens or other substances.  I, for one, know I am not born still.  I was born with motors in my brain.  Whatever my brain thinks up, my body follows.  Boredom makes me lazy.  Boredom drives me to ponder.  Even if I appear to be still my mind is racing a mile a minute.

Still I always pose the question why.  Why are people walking in this world like zombies?  Why are they not aware?  Why do they languidly follow the way of the corrupt world?  To be popular?  To be a part of society?  To be "socially" normal?  If you trust the universe doesn't it take care of you?  When you ask for a sign doesn't it give it to you?  Is there something in the chickens we eat that induces us to a lobotomized state of dumbness?  Is going green a social reform or a new wave trend for the millennium?  Are you a victim of social lobotomy?
