Balance

Throughout my posts, I have gone to lengths to showcase the importance of balance while attempting to promote individual thought against the norm, for the sake of objective thinking.   My third post and my Ted talk both covered the subject of “thinking for yourself and questioning authority,” while the rest of my posts provoked specific topics connotatively received in an adverse manner. At the end of each post, I signed with my own motto “humility and humbleness are the signs of great people.” Humility and humbleness allow one to understand that even though we have intuitive thought and dynamic social interaction, we are life, relatable to a blade of grass. They teach one to keep grounded during advancement of oneself.   They empower rational and altruistic understanding. On the first day of this class, we were introduced to a concept of being curious.   I agree with this adage greatly, to the point, that my entire process was to promote curiosity and thought in others.

If I were to influence anyone’s mind in any way, it would be this importance of balance. It can present itself in many forms; diet, exercise, play, work, etc. Though these examples are just as important, my focus and emphasis are in cognition.   Objective thought can only occur when you are able to make a truly informed position, balanced from all perspectives. Balance entitles one to radiate their individual expression into the world while possessing humility and humbleness to the individual perspective of another. This will also warrant one to understand the force behind the pressures in life.

To conclude my passion posts, I ask of my reader be wary of influencers. Question everything.   Understand that no one sees the same.   Humble oneself to that of the simplest form of life. Embrace ones perception. Understand that no matter how similar, we are all different. Live life to live, not survive.

“You can get so confused

That you’ll start in to race

Down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace

And grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space,

Headed, I fear, toward a most useless of place.

The Waiting Place…

Oh, the Places You'll Go is the top-selling book for graduation season, but it doesn't actually offer great advice.

 

…for people just waiting.

Waiting for a train to go

Or a bus to come, or a plane to go

Or the mail to come, or the place to go

Or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow

Or the waiting around for a Yes or No

Or waiting for their hair to grow.

Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite

Or waiting for the wind to fly a kite

Or waiting around for a Friday night

Or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake

Or a pot to boil, or a better break

Or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants

Or wig with curls, or another chance.

Everyone is just waiting.

 

NO!

That’s not for you!” (Suess, Oh! the places you’ll go)

So far beyond a simple children’s book excerpt.

  1. Unfortunately, quotes and excerpts do not count towards the minimum word count. Besides that, fantastic close to your blog posts. Can’t wait to see what you write in the future.

  2. I really enjoyed the uniqueness of these posts along with how you made them easy to understand for people with no exposure to the topic. I also liked the topic choices.
