Reality realm

I spend a lot of time floating around in my imagination, history, parallel universes, and work, that I start to see them as my own personal reality.

I spend hours fantasising about the tropical island that I want to own, or the huge house that I want to live in, or the vast sums of money that are displayed when I check my bank balance on the cash machine. I imagine the book that I keep promising to write being an international best seller, and doing something that is inspirational to others.

There are lots of things that I think I want to do. I need to be realistic. I need to be centered, and focused on what I want to do. I need some set questions to ask for my dreams to start to become more real. And the answers to the questions need to be positive too!

Can I do what I want to do? If I put my mind to it, yes!

Do I mind doing a little work to do what I want to do? If I really want to do it, then yes, I’ll do the work.

Are my goals achievable? Yes, very achievable.

Are you stopping yourself from moving forwards? If I haven’t started to see any changes in any of the areas that I want to improve, then yes I am stopping myself.

Are you ready to start to bring changes in to the areas that you think need improving? Yes, I am ready.

Here’s the reality realm: NOW! Make the changes yourself. Slowly, but surely. Take small steps. As soon as you start to see that one area of your life is improving, another will follow. And another. And another. Start now. Live your dream life tomorrow.

  🙂 That’s good. I need to convince myself a little more though. I am trying… and that is quite hard to do when you are trying to eradicate the word try from your vocabulary….

    ok. coincidence – climbing tonight i couldn’t stop thinking about “there is no try, only do”. we tried a new route, a 5.10-, so about the top of skill level. my climbing partner tried twice. i tried twice.
    neither of us finished.
    
    there was a sort of victory to trying.
    sometimes, for me, there is “trying”, because sometimes “trying” leads to “doing” and “being”.
    
    didn’t get up, but at least we tried.
    we will try again next time.
    
    i think, maybe, that we actually have to “try” with the idea of “do” and “be”. (do-be-do-be-do – sorry random jazz). a bit of goal-orientation, a bit of letting things fall away a bit and get past the “i’m just going try” thinking.
    
    try without trying, do with doing, be with being. the try, the attempt turns into the do, the be.
    
    “try” gives way. to “do”. to “be”.
    
    you can tell, i’m entering a particularly philosophical phase…

      Yes trying is better than not trying I suppose. And if you set out to do something and don’t finish it for some reason, it does not mean you haven’t done it, you just haven’t finished it.
      
      But then again, ‘there is no try, only do’ could mean just that too.
      
      Me = Head + Hurt.
      
      Loved the random jazz by the way…

        yeah, i think it must have something to do with pushing/testing our limits too, exploring them and expanding them. i mean, maybe.
        
        happy you liked the random jazz – it happens every now and then…you know what i mean…
