  Eggs

  I’ve talked about how fragile our egg shell attention spans are, how easy it is to crack (lose focus). And then here I go distracting myself with a new IG account all about breakfast and eggs literally (@rays_eggs). I’ve been posting food reviews. Don’t look it up, I am about to delete it.

  I guess in some cases this might be a great expression. For me, I’ve been humpty dumptying. “All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty back together again.” Luckily, we aren’t all eggs.

  This is about distraction, it’s easy to fall off the chess board. In the game of self mastery, I’d say Attention and Focus are King and Queen. This is about main things being “influenced” by side things.

  I’m not trying to say life should should be all biz and no fun, but maybe that contrast is not the balance we are looking for. Maybe the “balance” is simply focusing on riding whatever wave (phase of life) is present, shredding it, and then getting ready for the next.

  If you are new here, know this blog is me thinking out loud about my own randomness. Thanks for reading. Hope you are having a great day.

  Babies

  They say take baby steps but I’m saying baby steps are too big.

  Take baby-er steps, the baby-est, is what I always lazy say.

  The distance from 0 to 1 equals 1 or infinity.

  We are glaciers of light beams.

  1 for purpose, infinity for futility. I always rich say.

  Crunchy

  Feeling a time crunch these days but in a new way. Like time to be productive not for the fear of death, but for the honor of duty. I am feeling dutiful. It is our duty to share our gifts and talents if even to only seed a tiny spark within another to possibly do the same.

  This is our purpose, to raise frequency, to raise paradise.

  Attemptors

  “It’s a great opportunity to be in this position,” said every NBA player in every interview. The playoffs are happening right now, so there is lots of bball action on the TV at my place. Of course, they probably each go through some sort of media training, they all have similar answers and similar tone of voice.

  I have been thinking about focus and how scarce it is in these distracted times. Could “focus” simply be the expression of appreciation for an opportunity? Is “focus” the attempt? The attempt to make something from, in, and of an opportunity?

  Sure, focus is needed to get stuff done but you know what I am saying. Focus is more than checking off random tasks. I am talking about the focus that leads to flow. In flow, you are not “doing”. You are “being”, always have been, and will continue to be the maestro.

  Could “lack of focus” simply be the lack of appreciation for opportunity? (Life itself?) Could “lack of focus” simply be an unawareness of given attempts? (Is “attemption” a word?)

  Should these attempts be more precious? Should we honor each and every attempt?

  Here is me attempting to get more words on this blog, regardless if these words are winners or losers. Getting the attempt off is the actual win (talking to myself out loud.) Getting the ball in the air counts for something (potentiality), regardless if it is wet or not (goes in the basket.). (How do I do the periods when using parenthesis?)

  Boarders

  “If you’re not back and you’re not on the boards, where are you?” – Hubie Brown

  As you may have noticed and gotten sick of by now, I learn a lot from the NBA. Get the rebound (the board) or get back on defense, otherwise what are you really doing.

  “Boardman gets paid.” – Kawhi Leonard talking to himself while grabbing rebounds in college (SDSU).

  Rollers

  The momentum is the magnetism.
  The magnetism is the magic, the mystery, the miracle.
  Let’s roll.

  Nonsensers

  “Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It’s by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I’m human.” – Fyodor Dostoevsky

  Powerers

  Is happiness related to meeting expectations? Is unhappiness related to not meeting expectations? Are expectations related to standards? Are standards related to perceptions and beliefs? Are perceptions and beliefs truthful? Is what is truthful real? Is reality true?

  Can reality be questioned? Can beliefs be challenged? Can standards be evaluated? Is expectation related to judgment?

  Is appreciation the opposite of expectation? Can appreciation exist regardless of outcome? Is appreciation related to the spectrum of choice? Is choice related to power? Is power related to freedom? Is appreciation free-ing and/or powerful?

  “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Victor Frankl

  People-ings

  “We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.””- Alan Watts

  Focusers

  Time and energy are the obvious important resources, yet “focus” may be the most crucial. If they (would-be corruptors) can get to your focus first, then your time energy space spice money and mind are up for grabs next. Cracking your focus is cracking the egg shell of your egg mind.

  Can it really be this sinister? Yes. If you are not working on your dream, then you are working on someone else’s.

  Fortify your eggs, deepen your focus.
