“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (30) “FLUFFY PILLOWS AND THE TRUTH”

 

The feeling of a cozy, soft pillow.  The feeling of not wanting to leave bed in the morning when the alarm goes off and just wanting to stay wrapped under the warm blanket.  But then reality sets in, you must part ways to start the days adventures.  “The relationship to our pillow is really no different to the many other relationships we have in our lives.  We call this our comfort zone, and like our pillow, there isn’t much to benefit from remaining in our comfort zone as the world keeps turning.”

Our relationships with others can be based primarily on how they make us feel about ourselves.  The comfort of hearing what we want will always be there.  We humans tend to find comfort in deception due to its simplicity.  “The truth is rarely simple, and generally deals with 10 different shades of grey.  All our minds want to hear is the black and white version.  The truth can be complex, complete isn’t comforting, so dumb it down, package it, and tell me what to think.”  Always, always trust your gut instinct, the voice of reason and pay close attention to it.  The more unsettling it feels, the more you know it’s a truth you’ve been avoiding to hear.  

“Comforting lies are those fluffy pillows, while harsh realities are those cold showers.”

Wan’t to know something?  We...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (40) “LESS EXPECTATIONS LESS DISAPPOINTMENTS”

  We all have expectations and I would be delusional to think that I didn’t.  Can you imagine a life without expectations?  I still have expectations of people, personally and professionally, and both still tend to let me down.  “Blame and power go hand in hand, so giving it away ,any not be the best choice”.   I, like you, have been deeply hurt by people in my past.  “Within that pain are jewels of wisdom that can put you in a position not the repeat the same foibles.  Our heart is very resilient, and it will survive even when someone steps all over it”.  If you’re anything like me, you know first hand that we can be overly dramatic, and we’re harming no one else but ourselves.  Learn from those mistakes so they don’t hopefully happen again, and again.  “Pay attention to actions over words, they’ll always be more revealing”.  No can shield you from the pain life brings, it’s actually essential to our well being.  We humans lea...
