Man, Was I Stupid!
Looking back at the last few years I've said to myself, "Man, you did some really stupid shit." Relationally, educationally, and practically, I've made some major blunders. As I sit here and write this, I can't blame anybody but myself. At the same time, there is absolutely nothing I can do to change or alter the mistakes I've made. As a matter of fact, those mistakes have shaped who I am now. No matter how bad I've tried, those things can't be erased, deleted, or removed from the "history" tab of my life.
I've got a few options as I consider 2015; wine and complain about the past, play the victim of the past and let that shape my identity, or just move on. Moving on is so difficult because I find the past reverting back into this sick vicious cycle of repetition. The insanity of this is that many, like myself, have found comfort in this cycle of psychosis. It becomes all we know. Therefore, we repeat what we know because we have become quite good at it. I will admit, I like doing things that I'm good at.
In order for 2015 to be a year of success I must do things I may not be comfortable doing for the better of those around me, but more importantly for me to be able to unlock hidden potential that has been buried by the vicious cycles of repeating the past. The fight will not be external, but internal. The fight will not be against others, but against the self-created system within. The fight will not be against the past, but being able to be fully present in the moment. The fight will not be against what I realize to be true, but the unconscious involuntary past habits that hijack present possibility. I want to have a conscious awareness of the subconsciousness.
Do you have things in your past that you can't seem to help repeating...it's like an involuntary response--like breathing. Do you have subconscious "triggers" that you don't understand? Do you react when certain things are said, seen, or heard that send you involuntarily to places you regret going? I do...
2015--"The Year of Consciousness"--Living in the Now. It's not going to be easy, but I've always enjoyed a challenge.
