the Infinite Monkey speaks: make or break

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

But even those of us who disdain superficial, misplaced values can’t help sometimes but feel a twinge of comparison over popularity and perfect appearance.  Human nature is a fickle, fickle thing –  foraging for worth and happiness in ways that can never provide it.

I’ve been thinking lately about what being ok with myself means.  I have a very smart friend who says, ‘good self esteem isn’t the opposite of bad self esteem, self acceptance is the opposite of bad self esteem’  or something close to that.   I like that definition.  Self acceptance means being able to see ourselves realistically and be ok with it.   Not just our external selves, but also our internal selves.  Because it’s our internal selves that really make or break our lives.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on duality

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

If you can’t live with yourself and what you have done you will never be happy. Am I a villain? I have been. Am I a hero? No, but I have done some great things. But isn’t that the duality of man?

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on the strengthening of good

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

Because that’s where evil always screws up – it hurts people, and there are those who will never recover; it wounds us collectively in the short term; but it galvanizes the good in humanity.  Evil almost always results in the strengthening of good.

Two, Two years of blogging ah ah ah

Today marks my two year blog anniversary.

I was just telling somebody yesterday that blogging has changed my life.

It hasn’t changed who I am.

But it has changed what I think about who I am, and what I’m doing with who I am.

.

Blogging has changed what I think about who I can be.

I am living in the same house and driving the same car to the same job.

And yet my life is on a different trajectory than it was before.

The little circle that was my life two years ago is now the circumference of the world.

And the goals that I’ve set and the steps that I’ve taken to grow myself are a direct result of what has been happening in this space.

That’s a pretty cool thing.

So I want to take a moment and say thank you.

Thank you so much for being here with me, for visiting me and chatting with me, for encouraging and supporting me.

To those of you who blog, thank you for all you put out there for the world to see.

Thank you for sharing of yourselves.

I started the Infinite Monkey posts because what you say matters.

Because it makes us think, feel, laugh and understand.

That’s a truly great thing.
