Cogito ergo sum


"Thinking positively is the key to getting whatever you want."


I tend to forget that quite often and have to remind myself again and again.  Why is that such a hard concept for us to grasp?  Are we inherently pessimistic?  DId society make us this way? Our Parents? God?


It seems odd that the most advanced beings on this planet have to conciously remind ourselves to go out there and live life.



Cogito ergo sum.

(I think therefore, I am.)

Life in the Now


Right here is where we are.   Sounds simple.  Too often we live in the past...  or the future, wasting away the now.  Those are words inspired by the best advice giver I've had the pleasure of receiving advice from.  


What an easy concept...  "Live in The Now", and yet sometimes so hard to make happen in real life.  We are constantly haunted by fears and mis-programmed instincts from the past and where we "Fear" we will be in the future.

The road less traveled.



I'm finding that what you perceive in life is not the truth but what you make of life is the future.  Turning points are hard.  It's the big decision...  Do we go down the path that has been well padded down with feet before?  It looks nice and safe.  Or do we take the path that can barley be seen through all the rough brush and harsh conditions, because it may brings is to something we never imagined possible.


I'll continue to take the latter.

Am I losing my mind?


I feel like i'm losing my mind.  A scary thing.   I never thought it would happen at 30.  I was planning at least another score or two of sanity.  


Oh well...  Se La Vie. 


I suppose the glass half full approach would be to say "I'm not losing my mind, I'm just at a turning point."  Oh shit.  Is this that "Mid Life Crisis" crap I hear old people going through?  I thought 30 was the new 20, so I should have like another 10 years, right?  


Maybe it's time to stop freaking and start living.
