In the real world your eyes are spaced apart so each eye has a different view. Your brain puts the two pictures together to form one 3D image that has depth to it.

 

Ok, so?

It’s the same for …everything.

The wider the points-of-view are from each other,

The greater the depth of understanding

Whether ‘things’ or ‘thoughts’.

 

Deliberately introduce yourself to different ideas /thoughts /input.

Not the same input (points-of-view) as you now have.

When you are much older you get that depth.

Why wait?

Here’s 8 Random Thoughts.

 

1. My personal favorite Doodle is still 37 Or Its Equivalent 

 

2. Do not argue with an idiot.

He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

 

3. Today: the Tomorrow you worried about Yesterday!

 

4. Champion: Someone bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion

when no one is watching.

 

5. Oh, you hate your job?

The support group is called everybody and they meet at the bar.

 

6. The attempt to reach success in a single leap 

is the highest cause of failure

 

7. How extreme your example has to be to prove your point,

Dis-proves it!

 

8. Literally everyone has the ‘same’ 24 hours in their day. So eliminate physical time as a limiting factor when you want to make lots of money.

 

Thank you for, … 8 years!

 

I

am

only one,

but I am one.

I cannot do everything,

but still I can do something;

and because I cannot do everything,

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

402 Sloppy https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3195 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3195#respond Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:19:56 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3195 Steve needed $550. by 11am. And he’d pay me back in three days.

He knew precisely how much he needed, when and for exactly how long.

 

I felt bad for him, not because he didn’t have the money but because he knew his situation exactly.

 

There were no unthought-of places where he misplaced some money. No loans he could get. Nothing. He was an expert at handling money. Which made it very hard when he ran out.

 

OK, so?

Well, I am sort of sloppy with money so there is always some-where, some-how  that I can find the money I need.

Same with apologizing, thanking, brainstorming, etc.

I am sloppy, so that means I can always add some additional effort and, since it would improve whatever I needed to add to, it almost always works /solves things.

 

What things are you sloppy with?

Relax, those are the very things that you can, when needed, simply pay a little bit more attention to and improve /solve.

The only time you have a problem is like my friend, Steve, when you have exhausted every single thing and it still needs ‘more’. That is a problem.

Not when you’re sloppy.

And, if you really think about it, you met him/her just like you meet everyone.

Your assumption /hindsight is that you saw something in their body language.

“I saw a sparkle in his /her eye.” or “There’s just something about him /her.”

 

Boy, you sure can read body language! 

Where did you learn to do that that well?

OR was it some ‘inner’ knowing triggered by that person.

 

OK, So? 

Your ‘inner’ self caused a response /feeling about that person which made them of interest.

The more I understand of the Sub-conscious Mind, which I call your Silent Partner, 

the more I realize all Major events occur as a result of its influence. 

 

Again, so?

The more you make allowance for this, the more often it happens with ever smaller events:

I could not get a simple device to operate properly. 

I ‘involuntarily’ dropped it, it fell open. I reassembled it and realized I had also ‘repaired’ it.

Thank you Silent Partner!

It’s dark. No one is there.

 

Soon a watchman enters and turns on some lights.

Then the orchestra arrives and tunes their instruments.

People start coming in. By ones and by twos.

Eventually everyone is there, seated, anticipating.

 

The curtains open, the play begins.

It is excellent.

You laugh, you cry.

Then it ends.

Standing ovations all around.

Everyone finally leaves.

The watchman turns out the lights.

 

It’s dark.

No one is there.

 

From nothing to nothing.

 

OK, so?

Because of what you experience in between the nothings, you are more.

 

Get more involved. Allow more experiences. Hesitate less.

Remember, Life has no remote, you have to actually do it.

And learns to create an argument, …to get love and warmth!

 

To supposedly solve the problem, simply continues the problem.

 

Why talk to self? I’m lonely & it helps.

Talk to self even more should make you even less lonely.

Except no one wants to talk to someone who always talks to themself.

 

To supposedly solve the problem, simply continues the problem.

 

Feel ignored? Then you do something to be noticed.

Make a mistake, spill something, tell jokes, brag, etc.

We all learned a way to solve our problem(s).

 

Have I mentioned that this simply continues the problem?

 

And makes your life extremely repetitive.

There are simple ways to really and truly solve this.

And actually improve your whole life.

Note: Stimulus is always the same.

However Response depends 100% on where the Triangle is.

The more ‘left’ the Triangle is, the greater the Reaction…

to the same stimulus.

The more to the right, the smaller the Response /reaction.

 

OK, so?

This is a fundamental diagram /situation.

Fundamental!

Substitute Money and see how true it still is.

Or Fear – Worry – Experience – Self Confidence, etc.

 

Now you understand why children seem to ‘over-react’ to things.

 

Ignore their (or your!) response /reaction and address the real issue:

How to move that Triangle to the right.

That’s the problem,

and that’s the solution.

Every time.

 

Not always easy to do but at least you are on the right track.

 

Move   the   Triangle  !

386 Guilt Cycle(s) https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2882 https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2882#comments Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:54:17 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2882 Guilt: Going against your own idea of what is ‘correct’. (see # 53)

We usually ‘punish’ ourselves to relieve the burden of this guilt.

Once punished we no longer feel that initial guilt.

 

OK, so?

You no longer feel guilty for the initial action.

Now look at your next action, the one that de-guilted you.

It by itself is now what you are looking at.

You no longer include the original cause /guilt because it’s been solved, remember?

 

Again OK, so?

You overheat water which spills.

A ‘good’ housewife does not do this (Guilt)

So you pull the pan off the stove … and burn your fingers, of course (Punishment)

Now that guilt is gone /punished, you are left with burnt fingers.

A ‘good’ housewife does not burn her fingers. (Guilt!)

So you rush to the fridge to put some butter on your fingers.

And, knock the milk over. Of course. (Punishment)

So that guilt, burnt finger tips, is gone.

Which now leaves you with spilled milk.

A ‘good’ housewife does not spill… etc.

 

To solve this cycle, just

S T O P

It’s the only way to cut the cycle.

 

Burnt toast, baby crying, phone rings etc. ?

S T O P

Cut the cycle.
