Grey and Grounded

We should always be asking ourselves as to what we are doing whether it be at the moment, with a task, with our lives, "is this necessary?" How much time is spent on things that are not necessary, that wastes our time, and takes away from living and being? Let's take this journey together.

In everything we do we must make beautiful choices. The choices we make not only define what we do, but who we are at that moment and for the future.

Decide to do one thing everyday, that is beneficial.

Marcus Aurelius' quote in Meditations: "The World is nothing but change. Our life is only perception." We are always changing, growing, learning. Are we the same person after that? Are we a brand new person, or are we the same person only wiser for having been through a certain event? I think we need to be fluid like the universe ever bending to the actions of the universe but strong enough to weather the storm and continue sailing on.

I am always careful with this rule, because people may take it the wrong way. But treating successes and failures the same way is important to understand. Never to high, never too low. Be grateful, happy, but understand that it won't last and we should be mindful of not letting external circumstances dictate our mindset or well being.

We all get sucked down the rabbit hole of imagined troubles causing anxiety, and depression. We need to be mindful of this.

Everyday can be a struggle to get anxious about everything, finance, jobs, family, health. But these things are not in our control. What is? Our reaction to these events. This is what we can control.

I feel it is really important to start the day off right, no matter how that is. We need to Own The Morning, in order to Win and Conquer the day.

I think failure is doing wrong when you know it’s wrong or you know you are doing wrong at that moment. I would tell my children and I still do, I can’t get angry at you when you do something wrong that you don’t know- because you don’t know that it’s wrong. BUT..If I teach you that it’s wrong and I teach you the right way and the right thing to do, but you do the wrong anyway…Well then there’s a problem.

We must try to remember that we are all part of the same community. We must think of the beehive, and not always of ourselves.
