up periscope?

I spend a bit of time each day on social networking sites, on social news sites and general news sites which gives me a simple view of the world that I do reside in. I know the view isn't a good one but i don't set high expectations. however this is not about the world at large and the lack of good or stimulating information. It is about the re-revelation of perspective. I have had this revelation before and I probably will again that every person has their own perspective that dictates their own reality. I know this is trickled down from big topics such as world views or philosophical ideologies such as nature/nurture but in truth every thought is processed through a personality in the final stage and personalities are like fingerprints... u n i q u e in case the context was lost. This has re-lead me to evaluate (re) the motivation to understand the difference of context and problem solving as I realize that every action has a perceived result. My motivation is that I feel that I should create good relationship with the world at large but more importantly with the people I choose to live in proximity with. (some may not have the luxury to say that is a choice, I do) If I can understand that my own perceived reality may not be the absolute truth only then can I truly listen to someone else's reality and learn from it or help them if their reality is wrong. Not that it is my job to point out when someone has the wrong perception but when there is relationship there should be a drawing together towards ultimate truth. So my re-visitation to this thought this day has lead me to once again "periscope up" and see if my reality is closer to the truth then it was yesterday.

not blogging and annoyance... 2 changes needed.

I have sat at the computer for a week or so now (not continuously) trying to blog but I have realized that blogging is fundamentally against the grain of my personality. I have asked myself what is worth putting in a place where everyone can but probably won't see. I, probably to the bemusement of people who know me, don't actually like to share my thoughts on matters. However, I do want to be a person that can change my behavior patterns to achieve positive life growth which may or may not be aided by forcing myself to blog but I am going to give it more of a try.

I have been giving a lot of thoughts to my own feelings of annoyance, not with anything in particular but just a feeling of annoyance in many circumstances. I don't like this feeling and I want to let annoyance go and replace it with a correct response. I was struggling to figure out what annoyance is the result of but I think that it comes down to selfishness and selfishness is the lack of love (a Yoda moment indeed). Annoyance could also be a lack of acceptance but acceptance of situations or people does not produce a positive motivation in itself which love does provide. So in my thinking I have begun to revisit love and how it expresses itself and interacts with situations and circumstances. I don't want to change only my personality through blogging but I want a deeper expression of my life to change. So love instead of annoyance... I think it will be a good change. 1 Corinthians 13:4

The start of something new.

I am not typically interested in sharing my thoughts unsought with the world or those who would wander around the endless expanse that is the Internet. I am coming to a place where I am beginning new things and changing the status of my take on life. If humanity never did anything differently then nothing new would be experienced, thus my journey has led me to the place where I am now willing to share thoughts that were previously reserved. It is not that I am in need of or care for conversation, although comments are welcomed, for this is my place for sharing my thoughts. It is about where I live, as I am sometimes called Ardog. So if you find yourself here, reading this blog then I welcome you and offer no advice but feel free to visit from time to time for the sharing will be often and the thoughts just might be provoking. So as often is said, it has begun.
