As I sit here & wonder about the relationship between internal self & external self, I realise that being comfortable on the inside necessarily doesn't reflect being comfortable on the outside - this is simply because that space we have between the inside & the outside I think is...hmmm - our thoughts?? don't you think? ie: it's not our skin keeping our insides seperate to the outside - but our thoughts. These wonderful brains we all have can create brick walls & iron gates - what a wonderful tool we have!?
Now- I'm guessing the secret is that if the brain is so powerful, how bout we "make up" with our minds... How amazing would it be if we were at peace with our thoughts?? I would imagine we would be at a place where we could then create our own wornderful thoughts, ratehr then being driven my our random thoughts - which in effect create random emotions - which in effect result in random behaviour... leaving us feeling disconnected from our true selves...
Lets all try to be comfortable in our skins my friends - then remember to go that one step further & acknowledge our wonderful minds - & work on the realtionship we have with our thoughts... & then perhaps we can all be comfortable being human..:)

Being Human is all relative
Firstly -
I acknowledge that my blog is not working - this site is sucky! Secondly I have no idea what to do about it, so I am making the decision to let it be -very unusual for a woman who loves to fix things & make them all better!
So today I experience that "being human" is all relative. Very Albert-like I know, but hey I think the guy had a point. Today I decide that it's not about who reads this - it's about the fact that I want to keep on telling my story. Today a different me has turned up at the keyboard & I'm feeling very relaxed about where this nothingness is going.. tomorrow who know what I will feel.. My relationship to my thoughts & emotions vary daily - thus the complexities derived from past actions & who I am now & who I will be tomorrow, only leads to one sane path-ie:now.
The human I am now is the human I am always..
Being human is realtive don't you think?

How much Human are we?
It's occurred to me like manya things in life, when you try to be something - you move further away from it.. So is it possible that if we are in the pursuit of being more human - we move further away from it?
It was explained to me to stop trying & simply wake up. "Stop trying"...this is a true phenomena in my world of thinking - it goes against all that stuff we gotta do to "manifest" ie: think, aim, prepare...instead we have to secretly not care?? yes- know what you want then pretend to yourself that you don't want it??
I jut give up - after the circles I've done in life, the books I've read & all that work, I've to the end of my journey to learn that I've been trying too much! Didn't we used to get a gold star for that at school?? We don't try enough at school - we end of on the sidelines. We try too hard as adults & end up amongst ego's..
Now - to be or not to be...where have I heard that before?? human I say:)
to all my wonderful friends posting stuff & it not working - perhaps you're trying too hard??

How much human do we give ourselves permission to be?
So lets think about this...is it about acting as the person we think we are? Perhaps it's about being the person we've become ie:as a result of our backgrounds, history, conditioning, beliefs & so on.
If we wiped our past & wiped the expectations which linger around us, where do we begin to be who we truly are?
As I contemplate the beginning of me & the becoming of me & the being of me - I realise that at any given point there is no real me.
Dear friends, how much human do we give ourselves permission to be when we are in such a tangle of who we truly are?

How much room is there for human in corporate??
How many of us have contemplated whether the human in us is in the right industry? whether the human us is being compromised by the world we take ourselves into every day in an effort to create the life we desire?
We've all done a bit of work on ourselves, we all know we want happiness, we all have goals & we all are doing stuff we don't love. We get told it's where you're meant to be to "learn" or "grow stronger"...then we get to a point where we don't want to be stronger or learn anything further. We stop. Then we see our brains racing at the speed of a crazy mosquito on adrenalin! we try meditation..& here we are - in front of a screen - contemplating whether this is the path to anywhere really, because it is really only about the experience-the experience of here & now. Why then am I sitting here like a fly on stickypaper, not loving the experience? Is anyone out there? (this is what Robbie Williams shouts out at a concert - in front of thousands of people) I love that one moment- cause aint that how we all feel sometimes?
Should I have said those things in the meeting? Where no-one dare to speak- the boardroom where people shut-down.. It's got me thinking how much crap can we take in the workplace before using words which truley reflect what we're really thinking? & what is the difference between a prostitute who is selling her body & me who is selling my spirit in the name of money?
I'm gerenally an upbeat, positive person - quite possibly one of the most positive people I know... So why am I here today experiencing these words like a running tap-outa control...
The music reminds me that I'm a warm, real kinda spirit. Tell me good people of the world - when is it time to stay & get stronger vs time to leave?
