Chinese Proverb

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

“If you fall down 7 times, get up 8″

“Never, never, never give up.”

Some good words to live by. Particularly in the harder times of life where we just feel the whole world coming down around us, try to crush the life out of us… It can feel pretty crappy!

Positive affirmation and visualization is awesome in strength, but it can be hard to put into practice some days. It takes a lot of belief.

But I think that taking the negative and turning it into the positive is an amazing trait. So that’s my goal. From now on, I’m not going to stress it when life gets tough. I’m gonna just make it to my advantage.

Cheers, and best of luck to you all!

Timing and Activity

Monday, May 4th, 2009

It’s an interesting balance trying to find time in every day, it comes down to the old practices of making time, of managing your time.  But in an increasingly busy world, how can we keep up with the flow of people going in and out of our lives? It’s important to remember the even older practices, of letting go, stress management and self-care of various kinds. Breakfast should be filled with good stuff, but doesn’t mean to skimp out on lunch!

As for myself, I’m spending my mornings in meditation and physical training, followed by a period of thinking and reasoning. Working out different problems (And occasionally making progress on moving into my room!) and listening to music, relaxing, figuring out how things could be done better. It’s good things for sure!

Anyways, I’m off. I’ll figure out the rest of this web design before too long. And there will be much rejoicing.

Good health and good luck.

In the Process of Moving and Changing

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Well it’s May 1st and I’m moving back into my old room. It’s a good room, and far better equipped to handle the unboxing of my things and storage of them far better then my old place (The corner in the basement)

Currently all my clothes are still a pile on the floor, I have a japanese fan (cheap rip-off I think, but I love it anyway) in front of me covering my pile of important paperwork. There are empty boxes everywhere (My bookshelves are holding their former contents magnificently I think).

And work on the comic I’m starting today… Well one can’t MAGICALLY do everything. On the other hand, since I’ll be trying to do so anyway, maybe I shouldn’t give in so easily?But in that case I’ll be putting that massive pile into nicely folded (Or well hung) piles and relocating them to my mostly clothing closet. Then putting up posters/ artwork around the house, forming a plan for more resources (The money in particular is in great need and desperately needed. Did I mention it’s in need?), likely in the form of either a job or freelance. That’s right, I’m not unemployed, I’m a Gentleman Adventurer (Hero for hire, Freelancer, etc..)!

Cheers, I’m off to mow the lawn and tackle this mess of property.
