Do you stop and think about your dreams very often?
Dreams are our way of communicating with the unconscious, they’re kind of like “The Force” in Star Wars. They tie all the living things together. We dream, animals dream, and plants probably dream too.
You should contemplate your dreams. They tell stories that are very important. They speak what you need to be hearing.
Listen.

Nothing’s worse than being washed up in something you used to be good at. Are you like me? Did you play little league when you were a kid? I was great at baseball once upon a time, but if I play now it’s a sad thing to watch: tired from running 90 feet to first base, terrible throwing, weak hitting…

Nothing’s worse than rust.
My writing is covered with rust, and I hate it. But you know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that rust really isn’t something your will-power or motivation can wipe out. You can’t break a habit with will — you break it with habit. I learned, for instance, you simply can’t keep extra pounds off your body without going for a long walk a couple hours a day. It’s just a required habit if you want to get the job done!
The frustrating thing about habits, though, are when you get those bursts of will-power. Will-power spurts frustrate me because I become determined to make progress, but a spurt isn’t really progress, per say. A spurt is just, well, a spurt! Growing up is a daily process, your “growth spurt” in the teenage years is just a little boost of your regular growth.
Spurts don’t get rid of rust. Habit does.
Stop being motivated, and start living by good habits.
I have this idea where I feel like im a thought slave, and the only way to break free is to unplug and read books, but at the library –not book stores.
The libraries are dying, and I’m convinced it’s because businesses are trying to kill them. You actually see books in the library that aren’t in book stores. I’ve found in the library that I’ve never heard of that are actually… you know… useful.
Everything in a book store is there to make money. Any kind of like high minded book is there because its on a high school’s summer reading list and therefore sells a lot (and the kids don’t actually read them, so it’s a wonderful racket, actually).
But those self help books and shit? They’re the biggest scam on Earth.
They’re designed to keep you needing help. Be a good little capitalists and keep buying the weight loss books, ma’am!
So visit your local library before it’s too late!
