Trust Yourself?

Have you ever tried walking 10 paces with your eyes shut tight?
I have and it's amazing how difficult a task it is. Not on a wide open grassy plane, but on a normal town footpath, when you've got a free run ahead of you. Why it's so difficult I have no idea, maybe it's just a lack of trust in oneself.
Of course it's very possible, and I've done it many times, but not without much uncertainty.
Do you trust yourself?
Try it! Close your eyes and walk 10 paces the next time your on a town path.

In My Heartbeat

Many of us live our lives searching for truth.
Searching for answers and reason.

As a result I find myself getting lost in this search.
The truth is there for all to see. The truth, I believe, is in you and is in me.
The truth is our long, rocky road home.
It’s in our times of loving, and in times of struggling,
in times of worship and times of friendship,
in times of happiness and times of sadness.

In each-other we find truth.
In each-other we find the meaning of life.

Can you feel my heartbeat? Can you feel your heartbeat?
In the beat of my heart lies the beat to my life,
the beat to my meaning, the beat to my truth.

love.

‘love. truthful. sincere. honest. undiluted. unpolluted. love.
Love, straight from the heart, without any ulterior motive at the
back of your mind, when you have to deal with your fellow neighbour.’

When God Goes Missing (To the tune of 'When Love Takes Over')

When God goes missing....yeahhh

-e-yeahhh....you know you can't deny,
when God goes missing yeahhh-e-yeahh...it happens all the time!

Fuck, does it happen all the time!!

Right now life sucks! That's the plain, simple fact of my life.
But that's ok...shit happens!

If I could draw a graph of my life it would go something like this:

There's nothing strange about that...right?
Life is somewhat like a rollercoaster in terms of our emotional state.
Considering I just drew that graph in the Paint program, and it took all of 30 seconds...it may not be so accurate! It lacks more happiness...but you get the idea.

What I've also noticed is that my happiness lows happen to coincide with times that God's gone missing...of my own fault of course...not his!

Clearly it's a problem easily resolved...right??

Pain Is Inevitable...Suffering Is Optional

There's an obvious lesson in these words for all of us.
It's inevitable that we will hurt throughout our lives. Fact.
By keeping this thought that 'suffering is optional' in our minds,
then perhaps we can begin to accept pain...maybe even expect pain.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could bring ourselves to take our 'pain' with a pinch of salt and just get on with life rather than to sit around thinking about how bad we hurt?

I'll be the first one to admit it's easier said than done!

Simple, Random Lines That I Think All The Time

No more looking back!

Here we fucking go again - the story of life – rising just to fall – or falling just to rise!

Everything’s out of time, and I don’t know which way’s upside down!

What more do I need (or even want sometimes) other than bread, water, happiness and love.

I’m pissed off and frustrated…time for my P’s & Q’s…I’m going for a walk!

You Are Not ‘Normal’

Have any of you heard of Remi Gaillard?
He’s a French man that has figured out life better than most.
This is kind of a continuation of the ‘Fuck It’ theme.

Break free of the chains that tag you as being ‘normal’!
YOU’RE NOT NORMAL
You’re different, weird, crazy, unique.
YOU’RE FREE…YOU’RE YOU

Trying to be ‘normal’ in the eyes of society is probably the
greatest mistake we make in our lives.

F**k It

 

Fuck it…sometimes I think that’s the only way!
Our lives are so full of little annoyances, frustrations, difficulties, problems!
Fuck it…I don’t care.

If something bad happens… fuck it, it’s not the end of the world.

If I do something stupid, if I’m stressed and under pressure, if I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders…fuck it, life’s too short and valuable to be worrying about these little things.

If I’m worried about finances or school, work or relationships…fuck it, what happens happens, and I probably can’t do much to change it, so why bother worrying about it!

Life’s too valuable to be blotching it with worry!

Take it easy, relax, let go…even when things are pretty shitty!
