Just stop..
Stop running from life. There are so many mindless drones numbing their way through life and pumping themselves with screens, stories, fake laughter, drugs, alcohol and suffocating perfume. To cover up the gory, soul-less parts of life. But with it they cut out the true joy of hurling yourself into the rubbish heap life throws at us and punching back. All around me I see tired and defeated people plodding on. Numb and lifeless through their monotonous days and capping each day off with 3 clean tots on the rocks and loud senseless music. Like icing on a bad cake. If the cake is bad, stuff your face with it; smile at the baker, pay your bill and don't come back. Find another baker. Don't stop eating cake. And don't ice everything either. If you are miserable. Feel it. Let it course through your body until your shaking and shivering with pain like a fever ravaging the insides of your bones. Then burst through it with a freaking motto and a brand new "mid-life crisis" Ferrari. Feel the pain and let the fever break. Don't succumb to the coma of a numb life. Do something, fight back with joy; stop letting life beat you to a pulp just because it won the battle. The war is still raging on around you. Begging you to surrender to its inevitable bullets and grenades. Begging you to climb out of your self-created Vietnam and see the ocean waiting for you to swim. Swim, run and make sand castles or just bob around on a floater not caring if you lose sight of shore. This life sometimes feels numb and endless with so many bullets you can't see or feel tearing through you. Stop being a baby and take it. Stop your mindless plodding on through the universe, stop stepping on and on through monotonous days and smell the roses. Smell them deep and hold on to that feeling for dear life. Like looking into the oceans eyes and seeing forever in its iris. Like looking down from a mountain peak and seeing your problems like sand particles blowing in the wind. Stop cursing the work load you have placed on your shoulder and cursing the boss who keeps you late at night. Stop crying in your sheet at night and fighting with the world in the morning. Stop fighting people, money, society and things and just be. Stop pretending for other peoples’ sake and just live. Life is long but my goodness it is also short. Every day is a promise and you must jump into it with your eyes closed, canon-balling your way into the deep end. Screw who you get wet; it might encourage them to jump too. Stop being a dam and let the freaking river run. I implore you! Don't for one second look back with regret and forward with fear. It will all work out, hasn't it always . Well probably not but you are here now, not dead. So that's something. So un-plug yourself. That stupid matrix cable jammed at the base of your skull is feeding you bullshit information that you can't seem to see straight. Or see at all. Yes life is tough, boring, painful, tiring but get over it. Life is just life, it keeps going with or without your misery. Which you insist on gossiping in other people eardrums. Life is just life. It is actually society that you are mad at. It is society and what we have decided to make of it that is screwing your joy. Change you freaking perspective and move on to living. Live Live free Live happy. Jump. em

Life is about energy
Anything you do or dream of doing doesn't take time, money or resources as we have been falsely led to believe; it takes energy.
So now that everything is energy Lest divide that energy into two; positive and negative.
Yes, I know that's confusing but let me explain Going for a morning jog takes energy and time but in return you have more energy for the rest of the day. Going to church on Sunday takes times, energy and fuel but it returns with spiritual and mental peace and understanding for the rest of the week. Learning an instrument, trade,skill takes time, money and energy but it returns in that you have a marketable sill, you can give back , you can earn money . A full time job takes time, energy but it return with connections, experience and resources. The list can go on and on... But negative energy doesn't come back at all For example When you are stuck in traffic. your anxiety comes from thinking that it is a waste of time, waste of fuel(money) and you begin channeling negative energy. That energy spent complaining, worrying and thinking negative thoughts about traffic never comes back, but if instead you decide to call a friend and catch up(hands free), you browse the web for funny and interesting life stories or like me you grab your book and dive into an adventure until the cars start moving again. Then the negative energy turns into positive energy and returns in the form of stories, joy and peace. So examine your life All the things you do , buy, think, talk about, watch, listen to, relationships and even what you feel are energy. If what you give comes back even in a small way(i.e a smile always returns) it is positive energy. If what you give leaves and never returns ( an angry shout) perhaps it time to move on. em..:) I asked the monk
