Free Thoughts

“Stand up against governments.
Stay irresponsible.
Say only what we know & imagine.
Absolutes are Coercion.
Change is absolute.
Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions.
Observe what’s vivid.
Notice what you notice.
Catch yourself thinking.
Vividness is self-selecting.
If we don’t show anyone, we’re free to write anything.“

-Cosmopolitan Greetings, Allen Ginsberg

So, “make the most of the opportunities you have today, because there will be a time when you have no more of it.” (Forbes)

Wherever you are today, know that “you don’t have to be happy all the time. Life is not supposed to be a joy ride every single day. It’s okay to have a broken heart or hurt feelings or to be anxious or nervous. It’s resisting these things that give them their choke hold on you. Let it be a beautiful and sad part of the story, but only a page or a chapter here and there, not the whole book. One day you will realize how important these dynamics are.” (Thought Catalog)

When the days seem long and the reward ceases to make an appearance in the distance, go out with your friends, for they will likely empathize with you, yet show you how to always have a good time, no matter what.

Just keep dancing.

It sounds strange to say, but sometimes I find myself getting stressed out by all of the opportunities and options that exist. There are so many things I want to do and accomplish and it’s very overwhelming. These are the moments that I have to make myself stay in the present and be patient.

Question: Do you find yourself boggled down by all the things you want to accomplish? What are some of your goals your working towards?
