Change Your World

(i remember as a small child i spent hours looking through holiday brochures, if someone was to say ‘Africa’ in reality i have no idea what it is like, but my mind makes up a picture from what i have seen in pictures)

I do not know much about anything, and i like it that way, when you stop thinking you know everything life has to offer you can then be open to new ideas, realizations and Epiphany, you are always learning and Growing instead of a state feeling Stagnation or Decline, only you can choose how you feel, at this moment i am learning to spell, writing for me is sometimes frustrating, words i speak orally so freely become jumbled up anagrams in all the spell checkers but i do not mind, i learn a little bit more each day.

I think i will try to share what may I hope help, if you are starving to death i am afraid i cannot feel what you are going through, for me even at times of my most need i have managed to afford the minimum of basics for me to survive, i can only wish you my best and hope you make smart choices in life.

The past has gone, it can never be changed.
You may not like that statement if you are desperately trying to clutch at something from the past or hope a situation in the past will go away but this is one of the most important concepts of truly being. What has happened in the past can make you stronger and be a blessing or it can become a continuous loop of meaningless thoughts and burdens you pointlessly carry for no good cause.

The future, is only in your head,
you know from experience’ it is never the same as you try to predict but still we spend so much time trying to live the future, presume it is going to be ok and it will be ok, assume it will be a nightmare and it will be a nightmare ,set goals but do not spend all your time thinking of the obstacles that are going to get in the way.

Nobody is thinking about you.
This can be seen as good if you fear everyone is talking about you or bad if you want everyone to be talking about you.

If you think to live well you must,
Do well at school,
Get a car,
Meet a partner ,
Get a job,
Get Married,
Get Promoted,
Buy a House,
Have children,
Promoted Again,
Retire ,
Happy Now…
then you are not alone, this is a pattern of tried and tested paths that work, a path you can choose to model if you choose, or no not choose, but what can be forgotten ‘Happiness’ is not the result.

‘Happiness’ you choose, the people that successfully walked that path, did not do it all in misery then one day woke up retired and ‘Happy’, they felt it all the time, but this is a misconception we can and sometimes have.

If you rely on the world to stimulate you, then you will always be uncertain of who you are.

Assume everybody likes you,
people say words, if those words stick in your mind, that word if you choose will repeat over and over,
that insult if you give it time and thought will become a word you start to call yourself or assume other people think this word about you, when you meet new people they only have You Now they do not know your past.

It is your world.
Right now You are looking at your monitor, you do not know what is happening much past this monitor, all you can do is make assumptions and assumptions mixed with what we understand the future, Pointless wasted thought when it could be spent on achieving your goal.

I hope for those who can identify this helps.
