May The Force Be With You

Had to take a few minutes to talk about procrastination.. I've been putting it off for awhile now.. It seems as though I'm always planning to do something.. or accomplish some task.. and I never get around to doing it. This applies to so many things in my life.. I thing we all have a tendency to avoid those things we really don't want to do.. but some of us do a much better job of it.  The center where I work is horrible about procrastination.. always saying they are going to do this.. or going to do that.... and sometimes.. they even start it.... only to let it fizzle out because there is no backbone anywhere to require people to do anything... so then we have to think.. what are the repercussions of not getting something done.. most often, we can't come up with anything seriously coming out of us not doing it.. But there is a moral standpoint... you're only as good as your word.. anything you say.. should be what you mean.. and it should be the truth... but the morality of this planet is in jeopardy.. but what really is the drawbacks of having someone not believe what you say... it seems to have become the norm almost everywhere... We tend to gravitate to a place in our lives where it really doesn't matter what you say.. things are going to happen.. and people are going to be who they are.. in part because no one believe a whole lot of anything said.. and in another part because there is really not moral deterrent for a majority of the people in society.  I get on my high horse sometimes.. and I preach about morals and standards and doing the right thing.. and then I do my own thing..... but that's just it.. I don't want to tell anyone what their standards should be.. but if someone chooses to be a part of my world.. they need to keep their standards at least in the same ballpark as mine... or go find your own group of like-minded individuals to hang around.  I am somewhat more open-minded that most people I've run into... and I am okay with someone telling me something I would rather not hear.. if they are not saying something completely opposite to someone else.. or changing their mind in a totally different direction at the drop of a hat.. if you have set yourself to a standard.. and that standard changes completely in a couple of days.. it wasn't what I would call a strong standard in the first place.. if you believe in something... I'm not saying you can't change your mind.. but only individuals with a weak mind will change so quickly.. without some serious thought about things..  Any decision that has caused me to have a change of heart.. has been one I've thought about for some time.. and if it involved anyone else... I would have to bring it to them as soon as I realized my attitude or thoughts had changed.. most people aren't like that.. but will lie about things and then make excuses for words or behavior..  If we try hard enough.. we can justify just about anything in our heads..  and most times we believe it ourselves for awhile anyway.

I'm one of those people that believe that everything in the universe is connected.. that energy is never created or destroyed.. it just passes from one area to another.. much like the "force" in the Star Wars movie.. but this energy can take on different forms.. but it's still all energy.. life energy.. or chi.. is what we all come in contact with most often.. but we don't realize it.. if you grip someone's hand when you shake it.. if you're really enthusiastic about  seeing or meeting that person.. the energy will usually be felt in that handshake.. same as with a hug.. or any other body contact.. sometimes.. you just feel a surge of energy when someone touches you.. but at the same time.. other people can touch you.. and just drain you.  I'm sure everyone has run into people like that also..  I think some people are so good at giving or receiving life energy that they can do it without a touch.. and others.. can focus this energy into words.. either written or spoken...  I might be able to do this sometimes here.. in this blog... if I've evoked a response.. and then afterward.. you've felt more drained.. or more energized..  it's much deeper that that though.. Life is full of energy transference.  It flows through us and moves on to another person.. and if you focus really hard.. you can even help it shaper your dreams...  It's all how you interact.. you can't MAKE anything happen.. you just have to become a part of it.. and let it become a part of you.. I know that this sounds like something out of science fiction... but in all actuality.. it is more realistic than most realize. So try to focus.. try to make things happen.. and .. May the force be with you.
