I owe all of my success to my failuresMahButtItches (allegedly) Welcome to our 2nd edition of DDD: Discussion, Discourse, & Debate. I think that's what I called it. If it's not, well it is now.

We belong to each other. It is easy to ignore others when you don’t see it that way - their problem, I don’t live there, they don’t agree with me, etc. Everything is creating and supporting separation and othering, and look how bad it’s getting. Look how high mental illness, addictions, overdoses, and suicides are. All snuffed candles. Killed by separation, killed by not knowing their light, perfection, beauty, uniqueness, authenticity.
Confidence is having it all - bad shit included - being everything you are and trusting that you will take yourself exactly where you want to go. You don’t need to grow, develop, or learn it.

I learned it from one of my doctors, and it actually works really well. I just get so anxious I forget how to deal with anxiety, so today, I will write out some reminders for myself, and maybe you'll find some helpful tidbits too...
This thought, “broken, yes, that’s how the light gets in” keeps replaying. This idea that when you want to build a muscle, you break it down first. That’s how you get stronger. What doesn’t kill you makes you funnier; however, it doesn’t necessarily have to be your life’s purpose. I have to wonder if the... Continue Reading →
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbBHR_CD56M The mind is a marvelous servant, but a cruel, distorted master. No force on this earth can suppress or oppress like our own minds. Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is within." and to "become as a child and ye shall know heaven." Most people have the impression that training the mind, mindfulness, meditation,...
