Wilma Rudolph Quote

What’s Up With Me?

A lot but mostly to do with my internal journey. I mentioned on one of my posts last week about being a Stoic and finding peace through Stoicism. And I’ve really been trying to implement it more in my life recently even though I have been implementing some practices for a few years now. One thing that’s been difficult for me is letting go control and just accepting things as they are. But I have been trying little by little to accept that things will happen the way they’re supposed to, I need to change my perception.

So, today I went grocery shopping with no list. I usually am very uptight about having a list and only looking at things I need. Today, I looked around and bought what I felt like getting and didn’t freak out about forgetting something. Sure, I forgot tons of stuff but who cares. Kidding lol. I actually didn’t forget anything and got to take a good look around too. It was so relaxing and fun. I totally get why people enjoy shopping so much now. It was a good experience. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal but for an anxious, uptight person it actually is a pretty big deal.

      That’s great about the bookstore and therapy. I’m not the biggest fan of Guns N’ Roses but some of their songs I really enjoy.

    I’m thinking of the potential for greatness that is inside each one of us. Do we even know it’s there?
    I wonder if we could find out more about one specific talent and just go for it? Could be the most satisfying thing ever.
    Sometimes the problem is not the lack of talent but rather ability to see the one. Last week was kind of short but still good and a bit snowy. This week is going to be longer and warmer.

      Yes, we absolutely all do have potential for greatness but it depends on us whether we’ll achieve greatness or not. I wish we could, it would be nice if schools embraced that way of thinking and helped find our specific talent so we could nurture it from a young age.
      Have a wonderful week ahead.

    I was fishing for some ideas on what to eat. In the supermarket I thought I heard people say that they were on a seafood diet that seemed to teach them about the Greek letter omega. I asked them if they were trying to be healthy and lose weight. They said that they were on a see-food diet: everything they see they eat. That’s why when I’m hungry I wear a blindfold and throw everything that has a nice shape into my shopping cart. When I get to the check-out counter the bill is about $1,000,000, so I return everything except a block of cheese from Finland and a red herring.

    Oh man, Gaga just keeps getting better. I love that she’s not trapped into the beauty queen image, allowed to be gorgeously monstrous. 😀 And that hat! :::swoon::::

    Your observation re shopping is a big insight, that when our minds are open we can find ease in. I won’t say ‘no matter what the environment’ because I don’t know about that and don’t want to test it, but this is an experience I had with malls, too, loathing them until someone shifted my view. Some days I still can’t endure them, but occasionally I can really enjoy it now.

      Absolutely, it’s all about our perception of things. When my body and mind was at ease my mind worked well and I remembered every item I needed and some I hadn’t even thought to get but needed. I generally don’t like malls either but once in a while is fun haha.

    What a great quote… you always find the best quotes! Keeping on the path of your personal journey is hard work but worth it. What am I listening to this week? Well, one of my favourite genres is progressive rock especially stuff from the 1970s that I somehow overlooked at the time, so I’m checking out a lot of that.
