So I will ramble about something that I think of often. Something everybody complains about, and might be too stupid to realize they can do something about it. I mean, you always hear people complaining that their life sucks. You hear it from your neighbor, on TV, on the phone, in IRC, maybe even through those lovely walkie-talkie intercepted cellular phone calls. And people complain about everything under the sun. They don't make enough money, cant get a job, have stupid kids in gangs or pregnant, have bad luck, hate their attitude, and/or their life is pretty much going to hell in a handbasket. In other words, people pick on themselves because they aren't satisfied. They aren't working up to potential and they know it (or they might not). I know I have the same problem, but I'm fixing it. Some people don't even realize that they have potential, and that's the saddest thing of all. When they cant even think for themselves. When they don't realize their life is a mess because they let it get that way. You have to know you can control it, work towards control, then maintain control. Just like your weight. A small example: one might take this file I've written, point out the imperfections, and say you weren't working up to your full potential on this file. There are fragments, run-ons, bad usage of grammar, and confusing sentences all over the place. Well, I could take that criticism, feel bad, and never write a file again because someone tried to convince me that my writing sucks. OR I could take that criticism and use it to my advantage. If I actually cared about the imperfections, I would make it a learned habit to always have a mental note in the back of my head to strive to be that perfect writer. To be able to churn out files like a literary genius. So....I know this file isn't any thing to hang on the refrigerator and be proud of; I admit it but I don't apologize or get a bad-writer complex. I don't care, cause these are just some ramblings. It doesn't matter cause I know I can change; it's all in my head. All I convince myself that I am capable of. *I* know I can make it the best, but I'm trying to get everybody else to realize they can change themselves. It is not very complicated or anything; on the contrary, really simple. Every belief you have is like a rule (compare it to physics :). For instance, in a stable system every force has an equal but opposite force. If a system does not have an opposite equal, then the system will move, causing a change. An apple doesn't hang in mid-air but falls to the ground. Cause and effect. Everything we believe causes some sort of effect. If you believe people are evil, you will more than likely attract people with evil souls, and thus get your beliefs confirmed. Then, to be able to change your life for the better and take responsibility for the way your life goes, you have to be clear on what your beliefs are and realize the effects your beliefs have. This is really interesting. A bit like programming - or hacking yourself! To be able to realize the consequences of certain programs (beliefs) and be able to change them to get the desired effect. Don't just give up on problems and say, "Oh, there's nothing I can do about it." REALIZE that you don't have to be stuck with being stupid and that you always have options. In other words, HACK YOURSELF. A pro is that you can't actually get caught, but some people will disaprove. That is the greatest hack of 'em all. Also the most worthwhile one. skinflower =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Questions, Comments, Bitches, Ideas, Rants, Death Threats, Submissions = = Mail: jericho@dimensional.com (Mail is welcomed) = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = To receive new issues through mail, mail jericho@dimensional.com with = = "subscribe fuck".
