“Your beliefs are your actions. What you say is just what you think.”

Embrace the Within.

This world is entrenched in unhealthiness. The majority of foods available for consumption are poisons. The foods are not created to sustain your health. The foods are created to hook you on their consumption. Foods aren’t based on easily identifiable plants and animals. Foods are based on fructose and carbohydrates and chemical agents to get your body craving them, needing them, getting your fix and consuming constantly. Waking up to consume sugar and caffeine and needing that fix to animate your corpse throughout the day. Folks are much less human are more zombie, craving their intake of poison to keep them going, keep them productive, keep them consuming.

I avoid eating outside of my home as much as I can. When I shop, I get what I can from local produce and shop the periphery of grocery stores . . . produce section, meats, and frozen vegetables. Going down the aisles is a journey into reading ingredients that makes me nauseated. On shopping trips with the family I often get asked “can we eat this” and my answer is “Sure. But you shouldn’t.” The bulk of what is out there is a processed disaster that is processing you right toward problems.

BUT, have no fears. The medical industry is partnered with the pharmaceutical industry to have just the pill to fix the chemical reactions from all those other chemicals. A doctor will pay lip service to changing your diet but most of them really do not understand what that means and, rightfully, don’t expect you to change anything. That’s when the prescription pad comes out with the easy fix. Take these pills in varying amounts in varying orders at varying times to fix the chemical reaction. Don’t get off the chemicals. Just add new chemicals to your chemistry set zombie fixing itself through the day on just the right cocktail of drugs. Why even consider that the chemicals might be the problem and not the solution?

I don’t know. My goal is to get off drugs. To not need a cocktail to get me through life. To not need to dose up to tolerate existence. To not need to shut off my brain to function in society. And it isn’t for everyone. I don’t get invited to hang out. I don’t have fancy friends that eat fancy things at fancy places. I don’t get local celebrity status from hanging with bureaucrats and politicians. I don’t get out much to be honest. I do get a lot of work done at home.

And I am definitely not hating my life. I don’t have to turn to a chemical cocktail to get me up in the morning, to get me going through the day, or to put me to sleep at night. But I do have to urinate a lot. I think that’s my only downside right now. The burden of being hydrated. Not the phoniness of fanciness, that I have always been able to do without. I’d rather have my hands and feet covered in dirt.

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.

“It may not be your fault but it is still your problem.”

Embrace the Within.

I am starting to get concerned about the future. Maybe I’m just getting old and I have seen a lot BUT I am getting concerned about people. More and more folks want to control everything outside of their control but neglect to control the things they can change. Folks want to change others more than they want to change themselves. And that is the sign of being out of control. To be in control is to exercise authority over your own life. To be in control is to take personal responsibility and self ownership of your life. To be in control is to take your liberty and the liberty of others seriously.

All I can see, disguised as difference, are a society and a culture worried about everyone else. This concerns me because the future is looking populated with busy bodies and gossips rather than folks putting in the work. The future looks populated with people willing to talk about the actions of others while doing nothing, creating nothing of value. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe while a lot of the world is busy focusing on mediocrity at best, those of use focused on getting better can move to the front. I don’t know how it is going to turn out BUT I know that mediocrity and sameness is not what I have planned for my life. I wasn’t created to suck.

The dumbing down of Americans is not your fault. The indoctrination of Americans to worship their government is not your fault. The creation of a consumer class ruled by bread and circuses is not your fault. The rise of herd behavior and unquestioning obedience is not your fault. The increasing numbers of rubes and marks that are easily duped into the next con is not your fault. It’s not my fault either. But it is our problem. How do we live among these people that aren’t healthy? How do we live among these people easily distracted? How do we live among these programmed people? I guess we just do.

I guess we just don’t play their games. I guess we call it bullshit when it is bullshit. I guess we point out when the emperor is naked. I guess we point out the propaganda and influence techniques. I guess we call out the logical fallacies. I guess we live a life of abundance. I guess we keep focusing on making ourselves better. I guess we show them what control truly entails.

Because as much as they want to control everyone else, those folks need to understand that the only control they have is over themselves and those of their ilk. The only control is brought on by the illusion of control they paint over the world. It’s control based upon violence and force. And good ideas NEVER require force. No coercion is necessary to get people to do what is in their best interest. The problem is getting unhealthy people to make better choices . . . And those better choices only come when unhealthy people decide to be healthy. Forcing someone to make a change only makes you their enemy. Allowing someone to make a change makes you their hero.

Go out there and be someone’s hero today by allowing them to change. Maybe it’s just a little encouragement. Maybe it’s just in living your life in control. Maybe it’s just by spreading the good word. Maye you reach one person today? One person a day is over three hundred a year and the process expands exponentially from there. Never downplay the impact of you just being free.

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
