Well, I was supposed to be productive and inspired to do all I would need to do to achieve a particular goal I had set to achieve. The deadline I had was 31st May. But because of the Covid situation, the deadline naturally got postponed indefinitely. I guess it is the uncertainity of it all, or the absence of a deadline, that has made my vision all hazy, and I am left anchorless. It all seems pointless. Hence, I would want some inspiration to be productive, even if there is no deadline or end goal in sight. I hope I am making sense!

Yes, it makes total sense! I think that in the lack of external deadlines, you can make your own deadline and stick to them just as they were external…

I’ve hurt the ones I love in the past through neglect and taking them for granted. Time heals all wounds but can leave a hell of a scar. Something that has influenced my response above is I recently read Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search For Meaning.” In the book, he wrote about his Logotherapy. Its categorical imperative is: “Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you’re about to act now!”

Perhaps some objectivity from outside myself and my own thoughts. Often I can write something about my life, post it even, and then wonder, “Is that REALLY true? Does it matter?”
LikeLiked by 4 people
I often think about that too. However, my first reply is: “It’s true to me, therefore it matters to me. ” I believe that writing has a selfish component, so if something you write is important to you, it will be reflected in your writings. If you right stuff you don’t really care about, your writings will reflect that lack of emotion…

I would bring into my life, and everyone else’s, a new perspective of the world. One where no one pays an ounce of attention to someone else’s race or disability or gender or whatever. A world where we live in harmony. And here’s the thing!!! The word “harmony” LITERALLY MEANS that there are DIFFERENT and UNIQUE tunes, and they are woven together to create a beautiful song BECAUSE of their differences!!! This is what frustrates me, because so many people fail to understand that.

Of course I could always have more but I don’t really need it.

It all starts with the individual!

For sure, not only would it be great to change the world on a massive scale, making schools better, sheltering people, etc., it feels great actually doing those things. What I find is some folks think doing those things requires “unimaginable wealth” and because of that, they get stopped in their tracks.
I run an organization called Copiosis (www.copiosis.com) I started in 2013 with no great wealth at all. Today thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands, around the world are growing more excited about what we’re doing to give food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare to everyone at not cost to anyone, while at the same time offering unlimited innovation opportunities to everyone too. It’s real and it’s getting more real all the time. And yes, we now have some money, but it’s far from “unlimited wealth”.
My point is, you don’t need “unlimited wealth” to do these things. Inspiration and focus can literally create what you need from nothing. My little organization proves that. Check it out. Maybe it will inspire you to do something similar with your imagination!

Pink Shards
Carefully arranging your
glistening pink shards
To create a masterpiece
Of colorful glass
decorating my soul
All the shattered pieces you loathe in your self
Shine brightly to me
I hang them up for all the world to see
We have nothing to hide
But most of all, I want to cut you open
Peeling *Layer by layer
Revealing the secrets of you
That you have yet to whisper to anyone
And only in pain can you reveal
Wrap them in fine silk
Place them in a vault*
Stashed ** safely where only we can find
I’ll never let them go
Hidden bloody secrets, the pain
The parts we hide
Trust so binding
Powerful
Overwhelming
It’s love
But to free it for the world to see
A rare gem indeed.
