It’s a tough thing, to live in a world where you can be right and it doesn’t matter. I’ve been right about a lot of things and I’ve been wrong about a lot as well.
I’ve been driven by being “right” for a long time. I still hold on to things that are ancient history. Sometimes, they sneakily run my life. It’s usually something like:
- Work arguments and toxic workplaces in general
- Toxic relationships
- Random verbal altercations in stores or somewhere else in public
- Stuff as far back as grade school (being bullied, etc.)
It’s meaningless stuff, but I gave it meaning at the time, and that meaning has kept it around. I took all of it personally. I’m just starting to see these memories for what they are: dead weight.
Just energy waiting to be reborn.
Mining Your Inner Wealth Is Real (But It’s Not Always Easy)
Of course, I wouldn’t take back those experiences. And maybe I needed to hang on to them until I could properly unpack them. As trite as it may sound at this point–with all my babbling on about inner wealth and forgiveness–it does seem like there’s a lot of good that’s coming out of my experiences.
I’m excited about all the ideas flowing into my writing, videos on YouTube, and into whatever this project is going to become. I’m slowly getting things organized. And maybe beginning to understand what I’m doing.
These days, my mind doesn’t feel like a volcano about to erupt like it did last year. Writing is to thank for at least some of that. All hail writing!
Hanging On Isn’t Worth It
It’s so easy to be frustrated with the world. But it’s not worth it. It’s lost time and lost peace. I hope that I can finally get to the place I want to be, beyond the painful visions that society has created. Beyond looking for all the wrong things.
