" The true meaning of courage is to be afraid and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway, even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that's not easy. but making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the Universe has for you"
- Oprah Winfrey
...the sun being born....
Ever been on a really good trip dot? I guess you have. Most of us have had the fortune to go on a holiday, maybe a cruise, a trip to an overseas country, or even a beautiful relaxing holiday with the family. It is soooo cooool to have a break from the busyness of work, huh? If you use your annual leave it is a great chance to unwind and recharge the batteries for the next full scale assault at the busyness of life. You know, the routine...... The work, the family, the socializing.... all that NORMAL life stuff. When you are having a reeeeaally great time and it is close to finishing, and you are close to going back to the routine, if you are anything like me you begin to be a bit SAD, depressed even, because the JOURNEY is coming to an end. You get that awful emptiness, the feeling of LOSS. The good times are over...........
...watching my Journey???
So.... damn, drat, shoot and horror of all horrors. You take the very loooong Journey home. Everyone is pretty quiet because it's finally all over. Oh weeeell.....
Back to another year of the stuff you have to do to EARN the right to go on another one of those 'trips', one of those fun Journeys. But this time you will try to get a promotion, or even a second job to get some extra money to make it an even better trip. Hmmmmm.......
So you do....... you get the promotion........ and the extra money. WooooHoooo....... You reckon the last trip was great. Weeeell let's try this one! Coooool bananas. And so you do it all again. Unwind. Recharge the batteries. Oh what bliss!

...Baby Trigger in a few years when I'm BORN..
What are you doing? Sometimes the trips change or have to be cancelled because of 'stuff'. Lost the job, death or sickness, new home...... dadadada
But things get back to normal eventually, right? When they do let's do it all again and 'ditto' each trip, each journey, each year. Forever. How cooool is that?
There are stages in life where we look forward to those trips, those journeys, for different reasons. When we are kids it's the FUN. When we marry and have kids ourselves it's to make the kids happy. When we get to retirement it's to enjoy our retirement and the grandkids................ BEFORE WE DIE
So why do we do all of this 'Ditto' stuff. The routine stuff. The repeat stuff. Well the reason is because that's how we are educated. It's SOCIETY. It is just the way things are....... OhK, let's try this another way. Let's WORK BACKWARDS, like I talk about in my book called, of course "WORKING BACKWARDS". Let's get to deaded first. Now I don't want y'all to get deaded. I love you. So let's just use a bit of that VISION thingie and instead of fearing getting deaded let your MIND take over your LIFE for a bit. Your MIND CONTROLS everything you and I do. So let it THINK that you have started from being deaded and WORK BACKWARDS to being BORN.
Heading back to being BORN, huh? Hmmmm, interesting THOUGHT..
Instead of each day going into DEBIT as we DIE, one day at a time, how about we get a CREDIT for each day, all the way back to when we had our very first day of LIFE.
Pretty weird isn't it? But we can't think like that because weeell it doesn't make sense to us.......
The reason I am telling y'all this craaaazzeee stuff is because it is ALL about THINKING, our THOUGHTS, how we conceive things TO BE.
See, I've had a bit of a change in the way I THINK, and I've decided that I'm not going to get deaded. I'm going to get BORN. I'm not going to get SAD or DEPRESSED about finishing my trip, my Journey. I'm getting excited because each day I am heading toward getting BORN. Not 'born again' like 'born again' Christians. I'm just heading toward being BORN. It helps me with my JOURNEY. It helps me with my STEPS. It helps me educate myself through reading, through experiences, through philosophy I guess. It helps me with the way I THINK. And the way I THINK helps me with the Journey. So even as I age I am getting YOUNGER because my JOURNEY WILL NEVER END..........
So now I have something really cooool to look forward to right at the end of my journey. The house, and the cars, and the holidays just don't matter when we get deaded, d'ya think? Weeeell, they certainly won't matter when I get BORN. See life's not about material possessions, it's about how we THINK. If we can get our THOUGHTS right, material stuff just doesn't come into things anymore. And those reeeeaally cooool holidays I spoke about earlier? Weeell they won't come to an end and you won't get sad. So GET BORN........
Hmmmmmm..........
Interesting, no?
