Interesting Paths

I figure that I want to pursue many things, but creativity hasn't been there at my call like it normally is. I have become lax in my mental discipline, and many of the things I used to do for rejuvenation I have come away from. It seems that the maintenance of my system is integral to its performance. If I neglect the form, then the functions also suffer. Its easy to think only in the physical manifestations of things, and ignore the root of them, which is what really brings results.
Yeah that stuff

Letting Go

I take alot of responsibility on myself for others actions. There are many of us who do. If someone reacts to us in any way, either positive or negative, we believe that we are responsible for it. The concept that others react negatively because of something I have done still lingers. There's a very subliminal thought process that says, Something I did created this, and so something I do can change it. This is not the case. If I am not responsible for other people's problems then I am also not responsible for the solution. Its best that I contribute only what I want. What I want to contribute is happiness, love, and peace. It helps me to think that we are not all engaged in a reactive web of reactions, but rather that we all are wholly responsible for our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. When you adopt a view that we are all simply projecting according to our own free will, then you are empowered to bring into the world what you choose, rather than being forced by the pressures of a situation to react a certain way. When we see ourselves as responsible for our own actions, then we see others as responsible for theirs. We then have the power to bring into the world the things of our choosing. Instead of focusing on what others are doing to decide your course, you focus on what you want as the principle motivation for action. Once you have this you are free from the burden of reactivity. How other people react to you is not your responsibility, it is theirs. It isn't that other people's actions disappear, its just that you begin to focus less on what they do, and more on what you do. It only makes sense seeing as you have no power over them, and only control your own actions. Your control center has been placed within you, and within others, for a reason. I don't know why we were given free will, but it makes sense to use it in the capacity it was intended. When we attend only to ourselves, focus on what we want to bring, and then bring it, we can free ourselves from the hassles of 'others based thinking'. After all, we are the only ones we control, therefore we should exercise that control in exactly that capacity.
