Wear sunscreen (Everybody’s Free)

This was one of those songs that really got to me when I first heard it. It’s the beautiful music by Baz Luhrmann and a reading of an essay written by Mary Schmich titled: “Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young”.

How it came to be is a story of it own. You can read it here. But before you do, just listen to the song.

Happy Thanksgiving around the world

In Sweden we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving as they (you?) do in north America. Although that won’t prevent me from wishing everyone a peaceful and happy thanksgiving!

Christopher Titus: Mom’s Thanksgiving

Alone or together - Be safe and happy!

Where do you get your thoughts from?

I’m not going to start preaching on the importance of feeling good about yourself and let everyone down by slipping in a couple of clichés. But I would like to talk about what most people already know.

Consider this sentence:

What you think- is in your head.

At first this sentence seems too obvious to make any sense. Of course everything I think is in my head, you might say.

But think about it then. If you can accept that you actually make up your views of the world from the inside of your skull. You then have no other option then to also accept that if you change your views – you change the world.

Namely:

The concept of the world is in your own imagination.

I think that the understanding of how we perceive reality is one of the best known ideas we have, but it’s also one of the most underestimated facts that is out there. We print t-shirts with slogans like: “think positive and the world will smile back on you” without ever realizing what it actually means.

If you want to change the way you think, you first need to understand where you get them from.

What’s your path?

What’s your path?

How many times have you answered this question? And have you given an explanation to your path each time to also perhaps. I wonder how much of the answer snares ones individuality into thoughts of stereotypes, as apposed to what it helps you and the person who’s asking by explaining what you are and what you do.

We’d like the answer to give the questioner a reference to what a person like yourself would commonly do with their life.  Like if I would say I was a Shaman. You would know what it were. Right?

Have you ever wondered if the words that you think defines your path means the same to the one who’s asking? Meaning, are we thinking of the same thing?

We put a lot of faith into words but to express thoughts and feeling by means of sound or writing, doesn’t always give the results we expect.

We are like little bubbles in which every human lives hes life. And it takes a lot for us to start thinking outside that bubble.
