Best For Who?

Posted on July 11, 2024

The greatest good. That is a great phrase.

Listening to some politicians and journalists, you might think they only want what is best for themselves or the party / media outlet they work for.

What happened to the greatest good? Was it ever there even?

Ideally we would have people working for the greatest good of the most people while allowing any others to still thrive.

Unfortunately we have a lot of, “my way is the only way” thinking and actions which demonstrate some people would rather destroy others than lose power or adjust philosophically to accommodate more people.

When this happens, two tribes go to war. If you’re at all in a warring camp, blinded by fear, hate, distrust and disproportionate criticism, then try to pull out of this before it goes any further.

It is often hard to see our own destructiveness and personal challenges, but look inward, and see how you can help balance conversations and act for the greatest good.

The World Is Shifting

Posted on June 29, 2024

There are big changes happening and also little ones. Open your eyes and see. Left moves right and right moves left. The world will remain in balance as it always does.

Sometimes it’s concerning for one group of people while others seem to excel. Eventually though things shift back the other way.

Occasionally it takes longer for the pendulum to swing back, but it always does.

Don’t try to push things too far one way or the other because you’ll really feel the whiplash SnapBack. There are lots of examples in history and probably plenty you can think of from your own experience too.

The Weather

Posted on June 26, 2024

Are you happy it’s hot right now? Would you rather it be cooler? Or hotter still?

In winter, many people want it to be warmer and in summer, many people want it to be cooler.

Try really enjoying the lovely aspects of what you have at the moment. Soon enough it will be gone again and you’ll be wishing it was back. Enjoy the moment while it’s here. Look for the positives and you will find them.

What were you hoping for in winter when it was cold, dark and wet outside? Isn’t it warm, bright and dry at the moment? Love that.

Find Joy In Work

Whether it’s from great discipline, making something of value or beauty, or even from accomplishing something, find your joy.

The more joy you find in your work, the better you’ll become at it and the more success you’ll have.

Starting Is Hard Or Easy?

Posted on June 20, 2024

Starting a project is easy. Finishing is hard. Starting to revise schoolwork for an exam is hard but building momentum is easier.

Hard now can make it easier later. Easier now could mean hard later.

Whether it is easy or hard to start, start anyway. Start now.

Minority Of One

Posted on June 19, 2024

At a granular level, everyone is a minority. You can generalise the world into one group: humans. Or you can subdivide the world by large, fairly obvious groups such as sex, colour, height, weight, intelligence, wealth, or geography.

However, you can further subdivide people into the street they grew up on, the parents they had, the schools they attended and the scars on their body. Ultimately, their DNA is a very unique item for everyone.

So we are all a minority of one. But some people band together in larger groups to take advantage of certain, similar characteristics to gain greater influence from the group.

Be careful who you align with. In the end, you’re still a minority of one.

Someone Has Your Answer

You just need to find out who and ask them the question. Yes, it’s that simple. Although, it might take days or weeks to find them, so you better get looking!

Time Moves Forward

Posted on June 14, 2024

Occasionally time moves too slow or too fast. One thing is for certain though – time moves forward.

You can’t go back and unsay things or undo things. You have to accept and move on. This can be hard or easy, depending on what the situation was.

We can fight time and try to hold it back. Or we can decide not to accept the situation. However, it tends to make life a lot more difficult in those cases.

It would be easier if we didn’t have these emotion things. But we do. So don’t be too hard on yourself. Time also heals all wounds. You might just need more time than you would like it to be.
