I’ve been busy.
1st thing about settling into adulthood: I still haven’t grown up. I’ve just become a little more in-tune with my surroundings, and my intuition allows me to read situations to keep me out of harm’s way, most of the time.
That’s not to say that I’m living a completely safe life, I just take healthy risks now, instead of all risks. To be able to fully experience life, it’s essential to take chances. Living by the rules or playing it safe based on someone else’s experience will always deliver the same outcome, but if you leave it up to chance, a custom result is delivered.
Case in point, my new home. I have gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback on my new home, and it feels amazing! I’m the polar opposite of traditional, so when I have a style idea, it tends to stray from the cultural norm.
My brain works in constant conundrums. I see a problem or a need, and I run through scenarios until I settle on the most logical or the most effective solution. This works wonders in my business life, and it’s pretty commonly accepted. My personal life can be a bit more confusing.
As humans, rarely do we know exactly what we want. Even when we do settle on something, a piece of furniture, a car, clothing style, it’s short lived. Imagine that feeling you get when you need to make a decision, only amplify times 300, and there you’ll find my life.
To help you better understand where I’m coming from, I need to explain a few things. I am a self proclaimed observer. I see and listen to literally everything around me. I need to break that down; I’m referring to things that interest me or pull enough energy to catch my attention. The world is a fascinating place as it happens around me. I tend to sit back and watch it all happen. Most things 100% happen in a pattern or a certain cycle. It almost becomes predictable.
Story: I was sitting under the oaks at my parents’ home. They had some friends over with their children. I’ve become more open to children, mostly because they do things differently, so it allows me to observe their responses to the world around them. I hope that doesn’t make me sound weird, but I just try to learn something from everything. This daughter character was carrying around dogs. She tried to put one on my lap, and my mother said, “no, he only likes Slinky.” It’s not that I don’t like the other dogs, it’s just that if I’m going to hold a dog, I’d prefer it to be Slinky. Remember predicability? The daughter grabbed Slinky and brought her to sit on my lap. Children are basically 100% predictable.
Adults are, too. Think about the last time you realized you had done something wrong...who’d you try to blame? If you say yourself, thank you for being honest. If you’ve never thought about it, here’s the time to have an awe inspiring revelation: humans have been conditioned to blame someone else for their problems. It’s almost as though we need to hold something or someone else responsible for our mistakes to make us feel better about knowing that we aren’t perfect. “If I’m not perfect, then I need to prove that others aren’t perfect, also, to keep the playing field level.”
The playing field will never be level. The sheer fact that you’re trying to blame someone else for your mistake ensures the field will never be level. Own your mistakes. In most cases, if you can admit to the guilt, it’s easier to fix, and you can learn a true lesson from making the mistake.
I find that very few things in life happen by chance. You must literally put in the positive energy to receive a positive outcome, which brings me back to my point at hand. I’ve given up on negative energy.
Every single thing I do is from a positive vantage point. If I cannot find positivity in a solution, then it is no longer an option. Based on this new positive logic, I’ve built my very own amazing positively charged space on this earth. I knew home ownership would be a new journey for me, but I never could have imagined that it would be so healthy for me.
Work is stressful, I’ll admit, but I know I’m doing positive things, and I’m helping a lot of people. When I get home to my private positivity sactuary, nothing negative can touch me. This is mine.
My challenge to anyone who reads this is to find your positivity sanctuary. It doesn’t have to be as elaborate as mine, I had the opportunity to design my entire home around a positive forcefield, but it could be as simple as a bowl of rocks that reminds you of how the earth originally began: A pile of matter that gave way to the opportunity for our planet to sustain life and allow us to have the privileges we own today.
Don’t ever forget that we are merely a spec in the grand timeline of life and everything that surrounds us. Make sure you are making a positive impact, instead of a negative one. Negativity only creates suffering. Do you want to be responsible for that?
Here’s something pretty, though. 😁

Moral: Just do your part. Play your role. Be kind and make good choices. Take responsibly for your actions and decisions.
