yoga
Posted: November 15, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: no-mind Leave a commenti’ve gotten myself back into yoga. the idea is to keep your mind quiet and focus on your breathing while putting yourself through a strenuous work out. it really models what i have positioning myself for over the past months. as i clear out, i hope my focus improves and my consciousness dissolves away.
clear head
Posted: November 14, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: no-mind Leave a commentWell I didn’t slaughter myself this weekend. I feel pretty good. A bit tired but clear. Pure vision is my goal. Am I getting closer? The middle path is easiest, I need to remember that. Manic desires will pass with patience.

Posted: November 3, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: the way Leave a commentI realized I need to keep a clear mind. The easiest way is to keep all intoxicants out of the house. Will power alone is not enough. I wish it was, and I beat myself up over the fact it isn’t, but in the end it is not.
I just finished “East of Eden” by John Steinbeck. Lee talks about hating yourself being one of a humans favorite self-indulgences. I hate myself when I struggle, but when I finally give in a great weight is lifted. Be in the moment and do what is right now. Don’t control, it is a futile effort.
experimentation
Posted: November 1, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: experimentation Leave a commentLast week I decided to use my blog for a short story. This has become an experiment for me. I’m not sure which direction I want to take it, but it is helping me get back to writing, something I had gotten away from. For the time being I will keep to general thoughts, haikus and stories. Eventually it may evolve into something else, but I’m glad I’ve got this going consistently.
Sometimes when I find my mind wandering wishing I was a professional writer or musician, I remember that since I am not, I am completely free to express myself without worrying about what others think. This is the greatest gift. As long as I continually experiment and push myself to grow, I will be fulfilled and happy.
why, hello friday.

more motivation?
Posted: October 19, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: busy busy busy, motivation Leave a commentwell my blog experiment seems to be evolving into a personal motivation site. i am ok with that of course, as i can use all the motivation i can get to accomplish my goals and leave my mark on this world. daily goals, weekly goals and yearly goals… short term and long. this, for today, seems to be my best answer to the question of how do i put my all into every day. i want to be creative, but i also have committments i need to honor. boiling things to their essence while staying active. this is my struggle. what is yours?
goooooooaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllls
Posted: October 18, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: motivation Leave a commenti have been a very avid goal-writer since 2007. these goals are all over the map, but the help me keep my focus on what is important for me in the long term. when in doubt, shout them out? boiling everything down to it’s essence is so much easier said then done. how can i get there?
