Only Time Will Tell

It has to be said that things can change dramatically in only seconds, so how can we plan for tomorrow?

It is impossible to know what exactly we will be doing in a few days time, let alone a few years.

Of course I, like most people have a 5-year-plan that I intend to stick to, but circumstances change so quickly that I have had to accept the fact that other things may be hiding around the corner that may accelerate that plan, or indeed mean it will never happen.

We can only really think a couple of days ahead, even that will change rapidly. The trouble with a 5-year-plan is that it is usually an idealistic view of the future. This leads to expectations, which generally leads to dissapointment.

I am all up for the idea of living for today, living for now, it’s the only time we have any control over our circumstances. Tomorrow may never come. The 5-year-plan may never come. By all means work towards your goals, but ensure that what you do do you enjoy doing. If you don’t, ask yourself, is it worth doing? Work out alternative ways to carry out your plans. Ways that you can enjoy them.

Think deeply…is it a realistic goal? Is it really what you want? You may find, if you ask yourself enough, that actually you need a new plan, because things inside you have changed since you devised your plan. You’re not the same person anymore, and the plan is no longer a realistic one in your frame of mind.

Life is a gift. You should enjoy every experience with a fresh outlook and with a positive approach.

Be pro-active

Use your intuition

Reflect and think

Be true to yours truly

Above everything be happy. Enjoy the ride. Life really is what you make it, and the only person you can make happy… is yourself.

Forget What You Thought You Knew 15/10/2007 23:25

Because most likely, and more often that not, you didn’t know it anyway.

I blame the media, constantly filling people’s minds about all kinds of rubbish, about all kinds of things.

I didn’t know this time last year what I know now, and I don’t know now what I will know this time next year. I, as most others am on a journey, a quest for knowledge, and for a bit of truth in this world of lies. To go on a quest is to question most of everything. Answering questions with yet more questions, and yet whilst doing so, finding the answers to many more questions.

Not all questions have simple easy answers, and some don’t have answers at all….but the world is full of ideas, themes, knowledge and beliefs, all of which are also following a journey. Key ideas may change over long periods of time, and sometimes only very slightly, but whilst we develop these ideas further, we ourselves are developing further, and we are needing to ask more questions, and answer those new questions with yet more questions, whilst still finding answers. The more we learn, the more we can learn, the more we can questions, and the more fulfilled our knowledge will be, and so on and so forth.

Wipe the slate clean, forget what you thought you know, because if you dig deep enough you will find out that, in fact, your life is full of superficial thoughts, beliefs and truths. They are superficial because most are hidden. The world is better described as being filled with lies and corruption.

I plan to take a journey around the sun, find accept, and understand the questions I ask and the answers I find and remain truthful to myself.

I HOPE YOU WILL DO THE SAME!!

The Road Ahead

Why do we constantly argue with ourselves in our own minds? We argue away inside about hat is right or wrong; what we really want out of life, and what we’re going to do when The Bill finishes.

This process generally leaves us feeling exhausted and unsatisfied.

Debating the debatable.

Dreams 12/10/2007 12:32

As a child I was scared stupid of fire, and rather regularly I had nightmares all involving fire. Does the meaning of dreams, like most things change over time, just as we do?!

Most spiritually type people say that seeing fire in a dream is a good thing. It mostly down to spiritual preparation for things that are going to happen.

Nowadays, if I have dreams of or visualisations of fire in my mind it doesn’t scare me at all, but when I was younger I would wake myself out through sheer terror. Of course dreams all have meanings, and I am one of the lucky ones that remembers what they see, i write dreams down when I get the chance, and it’s appropriate. Writing them down though is only a relatively recent development, and so I wonder whether the fact that I remember dreams from when I was younger that I didn’t write down as a constant reminder, is for a reason.

Was there something in those dreams that I was supposed to look back now and see do we think? I am guessing so, or why else would I remember them for years, and suddenly have a interest in such things? Either that or I was so scared by it, that I have never been able to forget.
