The prospect of chaos

Do you dream od encountering a relationship that throws your life into chaos? Few people do.  The most common practice is for people to make choices that keep that threat under control.  These kinds of people become content and reassured by their predictable lover's routine.  They believe to leave the comfort of what they know would be too scary and would lead to problems.

However, other people think the very opposite.  The thrive on impulsiveness and surrender to the unknown without giving the risk too much thought.  At times, these kinds of people hope to find solutions to their problems in the realm of their most passionate experiences.  The people who follow their passions may experience euphoria when marvellous things occur or deep disappointment if events unfold in undesirable ways.   

In either case, if you make your partner responsible for your happiness and blame this partner for your unhappiness, then you haven't yet realized you make your choices and must be accountable. As you consider denying or giving into the source of your passion, only you can decide whether either perspective is more destructive, or whether you would make a completely different decision.  The prospect of chaos could sound scary of exciting, but each experience teaches you useful things. 

Disoriented world mafia

Controversy exists about the origins of global genetic diversity.  A recent investigation initiated by National Geographic supposedly leads us all back to a collective history together in Africa.  Apparently, we evolved from the apes, to Neanderthals, then to have dark brown skin and hair before diversifying.

When European explorers set sail over 700 years ago, the lands they "discovered" were already full of people.  In this sense, they weren't the first humans to live in the places they colonized.  The encounters with natives were often wary or violent, but they were actually reunions of a close-knit family of individuals with apparent irreconcilible differences.  Why do power struggles evolve?

Consider that National Geo traced DNA back to Africa and followed the DNA trail to meet families all across Central Asia.  It is conceivable that their ancient generations walked  through the Asian continent and across to what is now Alaska when a land bridge existed.  This humans passed through vast territory and faced daunting climate to eventually migrated to North America.  They diversified again into Native Indian tribes.  Some of their ancestors moved still further south, as are recognized in lineages of Mayans in Mexico and Indian cultures dispersed throughout South America. 

All this said, why would blood family worldwide evolve to fight, compete for power and kill each other? If we're interconnected biologically, culturally and ethnically, and spiritually, why perpetuate indifference and conflict among modern ancestors? Do you sometimes feel like cultures are perceived as disoriented world mafia with amnesia about their past? Come what may, life will evolve again.  Some people would argue another widespread evolution in human mindset is long overdue.

Light of hope

As you realize your value is intrinsic, positive thinking becomes more accessible.  You learn to look beyond, people, societies, systems and circumstances.  You don't have to worry about whether or not you'll meet someone else's expectations or prove yourself valuable. 

You don't have to try to understand why someone walked out on you, abandoned you, cheated you or, treated you in some other way which causes you to lower your self-worth.  You start out as 'a somebody.'  You're free to build on that as you choose.  You're never a nobody, not even from birth when you set out with a clean slate.

Rather than focus on how far you have yet to travel, places you have yet to see, chapters of your life on the horizon, why not turn that around and pat yourself on the back because of how far you have already come?  No matter what destructive words you've heard, they don't control you.  Ther rejection of other people doesn't have to cause you to reject and dislike who you are.

Consider the story of the transparent glass with water in it. Some people regard it as being half full.  Other people see the glass as half empty.  Still other people wonder about the relevance.  This reminds us that positive thinking begins inside.  You may believe you're far from perfect, but don't fail to realize there are many great things about you as well.  As you identify and recognize them, other people will appreciate you as well.  Positive thinking can rub off. It's a reassuring light of hope.

Just because

Why is it that you are doing what you are in your life right now?

Is it because you have nothing to lose and everything to gain? 

Is it because your life is a comforting routine and you're a creature of habit? 

Is it because you're attempting to impress someone?

Is it because you aim to prove your abilities to yourself?

Is it because you've fallen in love?

Is it because you're running away from something out of fear?

Is it because you crave new things or the opportunity came and you need money?

Perhaps you could find no other work or appealing ways to spend your time? 

Then again, maybe you work toward a goal and this experience is part of your journey?  Rest assured.  Purpose exists.  It's up to you to find it, accept or reject it.

Burning questions

What you do and where you are may be far less important than the reasons behind it.  When was the last time you were prompted to question anything about your life?  How did that assist you?

Some people question why they have made certain choices.
Why might we choose to learn?

Some people love other people more in their absence than in their presence.
Why believe in that phrase, 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'?

Some people wonder why other people steal from them? 
Why might you see yourself as a victim and unknowingly attract problems?

Some people consider becoming a nun or a priest and then, change their mind.
Why would you allow yourself to become indecisive about what matters and falter?

Some people pretend not to care when conditions subject them to undo strain.
Why would you turn a blind eye to the chance to see two sides to every story?

Some people seek to escape from their perceived mundane existence.
Why do you suddenly or rarely feel so alive?

Some people choose to suffer in silence when they feel rejected.
Why would you avoid the truth you known inside?

Some people would rather not admit what makes them feel discomfort.
Why make yourself vulnerable by revealing your true colors?

Some people determine making mistakes is just a natural part of life.
Why would you accept this or hope to erase the past?

Some people ask themselves if particular risks are worth it.
Why not decide to nurture faith in yourself?

Some people open their eyes to opportunity and willingly say 'yes' to life. 
Why deny yourself simple or more tantalizing pleasures?

Some people fear frustration, difficulties and failure on the road to realize dreams.
Why not ignore naysayers and develop resourcefulness to forge ahead?

Some people refuse to accept those people and things they can't consistently control.
Why not learn what and how you can exert control over yourself?

Some people assume they'll be rich and unhappy or otherwise poor and happy.
Why would you honestly desire to be either?
