Full Circle
The world is moving at an extremely accelerated rate, and I find things coming to me 'full circle.' In my personal life I am having near instant karma. I am seeing it everywhere, everyday, multiple times a day. People are coming out of the woodworks from my past, presenting themselves in the same scenarios. I am also noticing a very social aspect to things lately. Meaning, in social situations, I seem to be able to view the interactions from the outside, with a different lens, able to see the way the synergies mix, and how it is that like attracts like, and learning the new aspects of people from other points of view, able to detach myself from the situation personally and see it for what it really is. I see the root of many miscommunications, and also the revelation of innocence for many incidents I had once blamed myself for.A tough lesson I learned long ago is that your past behaviors will always come back to visit later in life. They say the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. That is not to say people don't change, but it often takes the ability to recognize these opportunties for growth within ourselves first. Many times the truth has to smack us in the face quite a few times before we really grasp the reality of the situation.
I am also noticing that the way people have treated/mistreated me is presenting itself at a very high rate. For example, I ran into a woman I knew 6 years ago. Due to unforseen circumstances, we had to suddenly work together for about 10 days. The connection we had never changed. It actually became stronger over the course of those 10 days. Ironically, I was only reconnected with her due to someone else's attempt at sabotage. This woman's attempt at sabotage, may have very well inadvertently handed me something I have dreamed of for a long time, on a silver platter!
In the real world, I can honestly say that I take a genuine interest in everyone I meet, and truly try to hone in on them and make a connection with their true purpose here.
Some are too scared to show their face, or too weak-minded to understand, or too egoistic. Or sometimes maybe I am those things.
We would be a lot better off if we just remind ourselves that the set-backs and disappointments we face should be viewed as one step closer to where we really need to be....and not one step back......

Are you hitting the pot again?
I think you suffer from what I do, thinking too much.
But good writing, seriously.
sometimes I have a deep side, what can I say
You nice ladies have a good evening,
When things get too complicated for me, I turn to drugs, lol

learn to go with the flow...as they say. Stop thinking and just let your natural reflexes move you. That's what men do
We know what we are saying though so that's what matters.
Mike, you are talking about just 'going with the flow?'
I always just go with the flow....I just meant I wonder how long things will continue at this rate. Sometimes I think taking a week off to go out to the mountains would really bring the pace of things back to normal. too bad theres not really any mountains near here
ms. Dre
Whatever,whenever,wherever..the önly key is to expand our ability and range of understanding to accept and change what we needed to be a better person...all the answers is within ourselves and the people around us help us to find the way to make it out!
Tnx
the full circle
Yes, you captured the entire point with that symbol. Sometimes it is hard to convey the point in writing, when it flows so simply in our mind.
Until last weekend, it had been a long time since I went to get my hair done. I decided to treat myself. The girl who usually does my hair was with another client, so I ended up getting this man with just a pure energy. Another man came and started helping him, and we all started talking. I jokingly asked him what it felt like to have an assistant. He then told me how he used to own two of his own salons, and then his wife got cancer, and then he got cancer, and then he decided to go back to his passion, just simply cutting/styling hair, as opposed to running a business. Every ounce of his energy went into doing the best job he could. I hadn't felt as good as I felt when I left there than I have in a long time. It felt like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders, literally and figuratively. Point here is that this man had been cutting hair for 35 years, owned two of his own salons, and gave it all up to go back to doing what he loved. It is so rare to meet people these days who are in tune with their passion and truly put their all into everything they do. Not sure how relevant this story is, but what Im getting at is that often we get so consumed with useless pursuits, and if we just focused on what is really meaningful to us, we would be happy, regardless of the circumstances
The pic Jan posted is called 'the Eight Diagrams', it is usually used in Fengshui (geomantic omen). I think it's not a bad idea to help you out of the troubles and find your mojo back soon.
Drea, to tell the truth, I love the way you write and the way you express yourself. I see nothing wront with standing for oneself, but most of the time it's the misunderstanding that keeps getting in the way of communication. All I want to say is, the key to finding happiness is first discovering it within ourselves. If we're unhappy with ourselves, nothing in life is going to make us happy. Life can be difficult, and at times like it is constantly conspiring against us and our desire to find happiness. Things do not always work out the way we had planned or expected and people often let us down, so if we're constantly depending on others to make us happy, we're going to be disappointed more often than not. Try to find something that makes you happy, stop dwelling on the 'pointlessness' whether in your life or on this site. If there is no mountain to climb on, then go to a rockery in the garden nearby..
My work in progress has been to do only that which brings me joy. It is not as easy as it would seem. I sure am learning how much of a people pleaser I can be. Also learning that I do way too much out of guilt or obligation.
Something is "front and center" on your mind in some of your writing even though the words dance around it. My intuition tells me so. I'd take a stab at it, but I have no right. Forgive me for saying so if I'm wrong. But there is a lot weighing on your mind. I only offer my words as words of encouragement. I like to see my 111 happy
Ahhh, mountains. Or, just know, your always welcome to grow your arm pit hair out and come over and feel the wind with me.
Well.. all I can tell you is, what you go thru or experiencing, the ups and downs in your life, pleasant or bitter events in day today life, whatever, help you to realize that you are “human”…. Yes sometimes it’s them, and sometimes it’s us… who else it can be? :)
Most of the time, we push ourselves too much; I have realized that I can’t satisfy everyone in this world. Sometimes, not even my own self. I’m very good at being my own critic!!
Its not that we don’t know happiness is something within, but we forget.. We listen with an opened mouth when people talk about how a certain situation turned-around their whole life, and how they traveled thru that adventure, and how they arrived safely to live their life today, and we doubt and question us, whether we would do the same, most of the time, we come to a conclusion that we wouldn’t.. But you know, they too wouldn’t have liked it just like us, its pure circumstances that made them go thru all that!! Who knows, you and I would do better than some of the best adventures we have heard of, if we really really have to face something similar to that, or may be we can take up more :)
My point is, the most important thing in your (anyone’s) life is to “feel human”.. A human fail and succeed, feel happy and sad, burst out and calm-down and so on and still continue to live without giving up at any point!!!. And while living, who is open to grow and learn, And with all the knowledge, experience and vigilance, who understand that things can still go wrong at certain situations. In my opinion, this is the minimum level of enlightenment every one of us should have..
You know, when we learn more and experience more, it becomes easy and difficult at the same time.. You and I both know how happy we were when we were children. :) but aren't we enjoy life in a different way now? We got the key!! :)
love

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to cut a man's hair. All you need is a sharp object, knife or scissors and a mirror. And even the mirror is optional. The objective it to make the hair shorter
To many other things to focus on in life.
like the saying goes....'sometimes you gotta do what you don't want to do, to get where you want to be'
Miss Drea, isn't it miraculous that as we ask for guidance someone pops in to inspire us? The most unlikely person, giving you the answers that you were seeking. I love that!
It happens all the time, but a lot of times we don't notice that we are being given what we need. Glad you are aware enough to know that he was an angel in disguise.
Now tell us what your dream is. What do you want to do? Are you going to move to Colorado and live in the mountains? They are amazing!
Ok, I'll stop before I can't get out, providing it's not too late already.
I need to bring a truck load of ketchup to some very unhappy people anyway.
but one of my dream jobs has always to work for National Geographic as a photojournalist....travel around and write articles and take pictures! I would love that. Have been debating on getting a second degree in journalism, but not sure yet. When I was little I used to save up my babysitting money to buy acres of the rainforest.....I always loved watching shows on that, and wished I could go there and explore and study it. The world is such an amazing place!! I often find it funny when I meet people who have never been out of their own state!!
I would love to go to the mountains there! Ive never been to colorado yet
and yes, you got the point exactly about him being in the right place at the right time.....that is what I was getting at in my blog.....that I have noticed how all the people we meet can eventually come back full circle to expose something to us when we need it most
Thanks for the comment and I agree, often times we push ourselves to much and somehow get lost in the process. I got to that point when I lost my mojo initially!
Life can definetely be a struggle at times, and yes what I was generalizing in the last sentence was that often the struggle is an illusion or something we just dont see the value in at the time.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Yes, would be nice to know my chart, I dont know the rest of it yet either
I must be a fly on the wall when you go for that haircut. I just have to see you squirm under those scissors!
