It 10pm... Its kinda early in the night but i have to be up at 6am but i really wanted to do a post before bed. anyways here we go.
Doubt. Is a Nasty, vile creature. Its that thing that hides in the back of your head that whispers sweet nothings about failure, and how much you suck at the world. I honestly believe most people's issues stem from they dont have enough confidence. Instead of "No I cant" all the time. Just once tell doubt to shove it where the sun dont shine and jump into head first. (Providing its a responsible situation and blah blah blah)
Another Kind of doubt stems from the past. Also known as hindsight, If you're always looking to the past for answers then the present passes you by and you miss many opportunities and thats just a shame. God, or budda or whoever created that opportunity for YOU! and by either ignoring it or jsut not noticing it, is kinda a slap in the face.
I honestly have a saying it goes like this. " Take from the past, your experiences and learn from them, and grow. but you dont belong in the past you belong here and now, In this moment in this time." I can say that ive had alot of issues living in the past. You keep thinking what could of been, or how you would have done something different.
But its in the past and you know what unless your a time travelling wizard, You cant change it. So instead turn your gaze to the present, and the future. Of how to avoid such circumstances, But dont let fear of what might happen cripple you either. If your mind wanders to the past. Kinda give it a nod in honor. But DONT DWELL. I've literally found myself yelling that at myself at times. and Its great advise.
Once you do this. its your first step, You'll notice that the world isnt as dark as you once thought. and that if it weren't for the challenges, or events of the past. You wouldnt be the beautiful wonderful, human you are today.
I want to pose a challenge to all who are reading this. Make someone smile today. infact make everyone you meet today smile. By doing this we can make the world Smile together and that would be just fabulous.

Well Mr Engle... I think we have both talked about this topic before... and yes, you still are the guru... haha... I'm not really sure what to say exactly, except you did pin it right on the head, the only problem (and I think we both agree) is that, its easier said than done... Ghosts from the past pop up at the most inconvenient times, and even with careful thought, and many hours meditating, no one is really prepared for that... (case in point, both of us).. Closing the door, is the best way to deal with it and I agree 100%, now the only question I have is what if those fuckers break a window...
