What have you learnt in the last year?

I think the greatest 2 things i have learned to date (also this past year) is:
the more i strive for knowledge, the more knowledge i do not have.
and the reason for my bieng here is not to help myself out, but to help my fellow man out.
I also discovered the meaning of life, but i forgot it once the peyote wore off.
 
I've learned the importance and meaning of Mind Body and Spirit. They function together, to reach your full potential mind body and spirit have to be working together. It's just like a machine one part is no more important than the other it's the outcome of all 3.

I've learned that if you are powerful on the inside in any way, you should reach out. You are inspiring.

I've learned that in order to have a loving relationship you have to be able to see eye to eye. If you aren't on the same mental level as someone else, you don't understand some of the things they say, some of their actions, reactions, opinions (etc) Most of the time people fill in the blanks themselves of what they don't understand someone, They project what it might be, could be.

I've learned that people who have experienced Pain are prone to learn Empathy. Empathy is a huge part of love.

I've learned that when you stop worrying what someone else thinks of you, your communication with the person is a lot stronger and you relax.

I've learned that when you stop talking about , judging, assuming, and labeling people you you could care less if someone else has a problem with you. You also find yourself surrounded with more friends .

I've learned that a true genuine person ranks above all other human qualities in my book.

Truth has been spoken.

I have learned that girlfriends are hard to find but when you find the right ones you don't know how you ever lived without them.

I have learned that I cannot please everyone all the time, and instead of trying to fix everyones problems, you should worry about your own because if you don't there will be a time when you reach a point of no return. Then there is nothing you can do but move on and look for the better road.

I have learned that loving someone doesn't ever have to end but you have to let that love go when it is time, holding onto it will only hurt you in the end. Love is too special for you to hold onto, it must be set free for all to enjoy.

I have learned the importance of courtesy and respect, you never know when you may need a favor from someone....and it sure helps when that person is willing to help you because you have done them no wrong.
 
In the last 12 months, I've learned...
  • ...that overcoming your demons once doesn't mean you've overcome them forever.
  • ...that things can always get worse.
  • ...that I do have a positive impact on the people around me beyond entertainment (I still need to remind myself of this one every now and then)
  • ...never EVER to forget that people love me :)
  • ...that I've been running away from relationships for the last 3 years, but that's changing now that I've recognised it...
  • ...that I still miss my mum so much it hurts, and that I always will.
  • ...that I need to jump into something new feet-first to prove once and for all to myself that I can make it without having safety nets.
  • ...that I'm not as alone in the world as I once thought I was...
  • ...that I LOVE dancing. =D
  • ...and the big one, that things can always get better. :)

    Lots of love to any of y'all who have played a part in any of the above,

    Raz =D










 
this year? this could be a long list..... i'll try to be short and sweet.
-roomies are bad
-having a job is good
-SOME drugs are bad
-my parents still love me
-things can only get better
-save money
-do not go to the bar every night, you wont miss much
-daytime is good
-sleep at night is good
-friends who are still here now are true friends
-watch out for yourself, no one else can do it for you
 
* No matter how bad things get, it has to get better :)
* Being pregnant really is harder than I ever thought it would be
* No matter how hard you try, you can't help everyone
* Those you do try and help usually take advantage of you in the worst way
* Some men really really really suck!
* Good friends are harder to come by the older I get
* People are too often *not* what they appear to be
* BL is always here when you need it :p
* As many mistakes as I have made in life, I can still fix things and have been working hard at it!

(took some ayahuasca earlier, sorry if i ramble)

* doing one kind act WILL effect someone... waiting five seconds to hold that door for that old lady or family will start a cycle of kindness that will be continued on to that individual, and hopefully be spread on to another individual.
*relationships with friends/family/companion are always more valuable than ANY material possession and/or substance. simple... but i used to be ignorant.
*if you put your mind into it, it is possible, it is better to attempt than to hesitate. hesitation and anxiety cause nothing but stress. you either jump in the freezing cold pool or you don't. 2 way street, nothing more, nothing less.
* whenever you are somewhere and not having a "good time" it is because of you and your attitude. its all about the subtelties (sp),

*life is not all about seeking the next immediate pleasure, many people that surround my daily life are fiends in their continous search for the next pleasure. its quite sickening really. i love pleasure just as much as the next guy, but its not what life is all about.

* fuck it we only live once, why not take that risk? most of our hesitation could be solved if we just DID the action instead of sitting around pondering it. life is about experiencing.

*not really sure what love is, but ive had some sample of it and it seemed to make everything come alive.. kind of like when your driving down a road with trees surrounding the sky ( except for sunlight peeking in) while listening to your favorite song with the windows down.

*i dont believe in god persay, but i also dont argue the fact that there COULD be something more out there. not a single human being has the knowledge to predict whats after this.

*music is the best way of expressing emotions... listening.. playing.. dancing... jammin with friends puts me in a stage of utter bliss. it heals the soul.

*judging anyone is bullshit, everyone has faults and anxiety. final.

* its easy to tell what someone is feeling by simply looking in their eyes and absorbing their emotion.
*i was happier on top of that mountain with the wind roaring on me from all directions as well as a cold drizzle, than ive ever been on any drug.
i'm really going off here so ill stop now ;o
 
dont trust anybody... and most importantly not yourself. if you let yourself down you have to point the finger in the mirror.

I keep learning this one the hard way.... but once I've learned it, I forget it all over again until reality slaps me in the face with another harsh reminder.
