JDS Insights: March 2013

It’s time to retire the diary. The insights are moving on. This blog is going to shift, evolve and perhaps multiply.

During March I thought a lot. I spoke to the people I needed to. I’m still grateful. Nothing much changes that. Lessons were taught. Lessons were learned. And I gained some tutoring off my own back.

People will pay for me to tell them a bunch of stuff – that I actually know about. Cool.

But this year so far, I’ve received some ideas and comments about my writing. This blog is too all over the place; too unfocused; too unwieldy to actually provide specific value. And I do think I can offer something of value – I just haven’t worked it out yet. I feel if I’m going to develop my writing I need to focus and test.

Things I can write about:
1. teaching
2. android apps
3. men’s clothes and style
4. organising/ productivity
5. books
6. spiritual insight

So a little bit on each and I’ll go from there.

Have a look at the stuff below and see what jumps out at you. Then take some action in your life.

Mar 01: Life happens. My response is up to me. Mar 02: If I don’t listen to my spirit, it’ll find a way of using the mind and body to get the message through. Mar 03: My body is just a vehicle for spiritual expression. Mar 04: We are all capable of moments of deep awareness. We just don’t have a reason to develop it. Mar 05: The state of the outer world will change naturally when our collective inner world does. Mar 06: The way the world is, reflects how we think about ourselves and each other. Mar 07: Action changes reality. But we don’t always act in our best interests. Mar 08: All the knowledge in the world changes nothing. It needs action. Mar 09: When I’ve done all I can, where I need to look is who I am being. Mar 10: Being begin. Same letters. Mar 11: Anything can be emasculating. Mar 12: Hate requires energy. Mar 13: Death is physically unavoidable. Mar 14: Death is only a matter of opinion. Mar 15: We all get recycled. Mar 16: There’s always a different way to look at things. Mar 17: Death shapes life, life shapes death. Getting over my self is the hard part. Mar 18: Life says: it’s nothing personal. You just make it so. Mar 19: No matter how bad it gets, life goes on. Mar 20: No matter how good it gets, life goes on. Mar 21: Life and death don’t judge. Humans do. Mar 22: God is beyond judgements. There’s only observations about what’s so. Mar 23: My purpose is what I say it is. It’s not given by anyone else. Mar 24: Allowing oneself to be caught up in truly living and one stumbles across being truly alive. Mar 25: Keeping going when I want to stop is what will make the difference. As long as I know where I’m headed. Mar 26: Thinking that I’m the only one struggling is a mistake. It makes my problems seem much more than they truly are. Mar 27: Pausing and reflecting can have more of an impact than resting. Mar 28: Sometimes meditation has to be active. Mar 29: Getting our minds to be quiet is more difficult than speaking less. But speaking less is a step in the right direction. Mar 29: Not all men are emotionally inept.
