I’ll share a few things about self-organisation, focal points and internal coherence, and how one can benefit from them.
Self-organisation is a process where global order arises from the interaction between local parts of a system. But these interactions are not influenced by an external force or body; rather the local parts intuitively know what the next move should be.
As several local parts exhibit this order, it begins to take form on a global scale within that system.
We are sometimes made to believe that ego is the enemy. That those with a huge ego are somehow less honourable people than those with smaller egos.
Well, I think we need to understand that ego is just. Without your ego, you probably will not be motivated to achieve or pursue anything worthwhile to your being. Continue reading “You and your ego”
Many a time, it is the sound of our past that we keep dancing to, way past the present and deep into the future. We keep an old melody alive, singing its praise and applauding its orchestral eloquence. It was, once, but that is not enough. We embody it as the future, we worship it.
Forgetting that the drums ringing from our past are in the past for a reason. Yes, to direct our path. To illumine, if you will, the hearer, but not to become the object of the future. Continue reading “The Song of the Past”
Progress is as simple as an inch in a mile. It’s not leaps, not at first. It the little effort put in at being better at something consecutively, so that that effort builds up and you don’t have to start from scratch each time. Continue reading “Inches In A Mile”
Something I usually look forward to when sick is the time I finally get pricked by an injection.
Compared to some people, it took till I was almost out of my teenage age to start taking injection. A simple or complex combination of pills seemed to always do the trick and I never got so sick as to need the needles.
“There is an old Celtic legend that says, just before each person is born, they are allowed to choose every hardship that they would experience during their lifetime. In this tradition, everyone selects the challenges that they would be able to overcome, the situations and conditions that would push them to learn and grow but that would not defeat them.”
I came across this in a guided meditation on Surrender: Letting Go by Jason Stephenson, and it made me realise that most of us had been going about challenges all wrong.
Most times when the word ‘challenge’ comes up, it almost automatically associates with words like deterrent, hindrances or insurmountable, in our mind. But really, a challenge is a demanding or stimulating situation. A challenge is meant to test us and see if we are fit for promotion. It is meant to ‘stimulate’ us for the sole purpose of growth.
I made a little mistake today; I allowed myelf to worry too much.
I recently made a decision to stop putting off the life I want, and stop “dreaming”. I decided to start making those dreams my reality, which is a good thing, right?
Yeah.
But with that decison, I realised there’s just so much I’ve dreamed about, and turning them into reality will take so much time- time that I don’t have.
I told myself I had so much to do in “no time”.
That was my mistake.
