“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (7) “WE CARRY A LOT THROUGH OUR LIVES”

 

All of us have a moment of regret that we have encountered throughout our life.  Some event that we wish we could just turn back the hands of time and simply eliminate from our existence.  You may even find yourself daydreaming at times of what life may have been like had we not have made that mistake.  Humble states that it times to “snap out of that shit”.  

None of us can predict the future, not even in our imagination.  “When we’re not happy with our present, we can start wishing away our future, by focusing on the past, or…we can do something about it NOW”.  Regret is something we all hold and the reality is it will continue to be that way unless we can learn to learn from our mistakes of the past, thank them from occurring and gently push them out the window.  For all it is doing for us is weighing us down.

Let’s all understand our past and not waste anymore time judging it.  Let’s all understand present and not waste anymore time judging it.  We’re going to learn from these understandings to help create the future we want.  

Take a deep breath and hold it, now slowly breathe it out until you cant any longer.  Welcome to your reset button, you just pressed it.

“Regret is a burden we all hold, for whatever reason, and holding does nothing but weigh us down”.


What regrets keep holding you back?

  My goal here is to encourage and inspire you through the trials and tribulations of my own life’s journey. They say men are typically socialized to be stoic, rational and are expected to be strong and proud in all aspects of life.  So what happens when that may have been true at one point of your life but today is not the case.  I am seeking transformation, hope, a new beginning, change, comfort, positivity and essentially a new life.   They say the wings of transformation are born of patience and struggle.  Apparently the caterpillar never feared change as it knew to fly, it was the only way.  I am here, moving ahead bravely despite everything that went wrong.  If nothing ever changed, there would be no such things as butterflies, nor Alok.  If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.  How will I know I can fly if I never spread my wings.  I want to feel how wonderful it feels to fly. Wan’t to know something?  We...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (32) “COMPARISONS ARE KILLER”

Image
  We can’t and will never be ourselves if we don’t know ourselves, and we can’t know ourselves, if all we know about who we are, is in comparison to others.  We will never know all the problems and stresses that others are going through and some would argue nor do we need to.  My personality type doesn’t always allow this, and to be quite frank, I don’t want to.  I like being a person that people feel comfortable talking to, confiding in, and love helping others whenever and wherever I possibly can.  This doesn’t mean that this is where all my time goes to, it’s vital at the same time to constantly be exploring who we are, especially on the inside. No one is saying it’s ever easy, nothing is.  We constantly see others around us doing amazing things, and it has been culturally engrained into us to try to keep up.  I call total BS here, sorry.  There is nothing to keep up with, and no one person to keep up with.  “Instead of comparing yourself ...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (39) “ANOTHER LESSON FROM 50 CENT”

Image
  “Either pray or worry - - don’t do both.” ~ 50 Cent Regardless of your spiritual inclinations, this quote hits a note.  It comes down to your need for control; our need to understand and make sense of things; and our need to NEED.  Our minds are dramatically more complex than other life forms, but that’s not necessarily always a good thing. “We internalize things more and manufacture suffering.  No animals are worried about what time it is, or being late, or even running out of time.   Animals only experience fear in the present, and that fear is what they use to get out of danger.  Our fears plant seeds in our brain to grow into things we have yet to experience or finished experiencing a long time ago.  For reasons like this, we’ve done wonders in the field of suffering.”  We unfortunately don’t have a pill option for this.  Worry exists in the future, and like depression of the past, it can spiral out of control very quickly.  The an...
