Question, are dogs right or left-handed?.. or are they ambidextrous.. Mmmm
The way of waking up -
“You won’t wake up until you feel you’ve paid a price for it. In other words, the sense of guilt one has or the sense of anxiety is simply the way one experiences keeping the game of disguise going on. “
“All one’s disappointments are the results of one’s desire. Is it not true you suffer because you desire. We are animal beings and we have all these appetites. We are in the unfortunate position of being aware of time, being aware of the future - and although its advantageous to know about the future, in the long run it’s depressing because we all know that we come to a bad end.”
Everybody should do in their lifetime, sometime, two things. One is to consider death. To observe skulls and skeletons and to wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up— never. That is a most gloomy thing for contemplation. It’s like manure. Just as manure fertilizes the plants and so on, so the contemplation of death and the acceptance of death is very highly generative of creating life. You’ll get wonderful things out of that.

I never thought I’d profess this on a blog, but I absolutely LOVE this guy : D

I’ve been really high-strung at work and wasting my time fretting about minor details such as employee scheduling, if the thermostat is too high, and worst.. why the lime wedges on our pho herb plates aren’t right side up. I’m supposed to be working and focusing more on our new location aka BIG PICTURE. I just need to remind myself constantly that I cannot control everything.. learn to roll with the punches!
Tips on overcoming perfectionism:
Look at the big picture - Take a few steps backwards to gain better perspective. Ask yourself if the detail that you are obsessing over is really that critical. Does it truly affect your overall assessment or experience of the product or service?
Learn to get past yourself - So you believe that you have got an important self image to protect. And you would label yourself a failure if you are less than perfect. Understand that beliefs about perfectionism spring from your ego. Your ego is not who you are. Your soul is here to learn about getting past your contrived stories, painted dramas and mistaken beliefs.
I just felt a surge of the lowest of lows simultaneous with a weird sense of security. It’s overwhelming sadness that’s kind of comforting.
I’m on the couch reading with Emmi and Lennon snuggled by my side when suddenly we hear music.. the guitar riff intro to Here Comes the Sun. I look up to see Jinho by the squeezebox and he proudly states with a smile that it’s our song! It was just a small gesture from him, but he makes me really happy.
Anyways, the blissful feelings were abruptly hijacked because Crystal Castles - Celestica (pretty depressing song next on the playlist) instantly shot me back to reality. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, but I feel safest inside with our own two dogs.
“If I’m lost please don’t find me
if I jump let me sink
we descended from no one
with a wink”
