Thinking of what to spend the day doing? How about doing the day thinking?

As I woke up, starting a planned day of mundane chores, I realized something that came to me like life's little bursts of wisdom, " I can do ANYTHING in my life that I want to!" What a powerful expression of freedom. But, in that same wave of gratefulness, my mind started running and sorting through the constant bombardment of negative governmental abuses, the floods, earthquakes and tsunamis, the economy, the future, uncertainty with all of it sometimes, and as with a slap in the face, I sighed at the unpleasantness of it all.

Why, are we as a Nation; a Country, a People for the People stepping all over each other trying to get to the top of the heap? Piling on top of the next guy to at least get to the top first. Not even acheiving the pinnacle of really anything, except being the man on top. Okay, so now you are at the top, what happened? Did anything actually change? Did you master this domain long enough to feel something before someone else got there also? Then what, are you mad that someone else is in your spot also? now, you have to either push him off or share? You both can't be the Master of this Domain, because, that just isn't how that works; at least not the stories I grew up with.

Okay, so now you're there, so high up in the sky, you must be better than everyone else, right? Some new status must be crested on your lapel, stating, "I am a somebody, now". So your a somebody now, does that make the everybodies less important and the nobodies, worthless. Do the somebodies get to rule the others that did not make the cut? Is there a special government mandated, privately sponsored, voluntary redistribution plan out there to support all the anybodies and nobodies? Betcha "they" come up with somethin'.

So now my story is swimming down the river that runs through me, ( Pisces, you know!) and I am picturing the heap; with the somebodies (aka: guys on top),  atop this new hierarchy like pacing pregnant fathers scratching their chins with no clue; and suddenly I start smiling, grinning actually. My dose of  "Debbie Downer " wears off; the bulb went up a wattage or two, "it doesn't matter really at all" , in the true schematic of life,; where we are in the rung of the ladder, who we are to the world versus, who we want the world to think we are. As long as this great Universe provides each of us this life we so possess, who we truly become chnages from Humans being in human experiences to Beings having a human experiences.

Anyway, what it boils down to in an overcrowded  "Melting Pot" we call "Our EARTH" is that no matter where you are in life someone will always be above you or below you depending  on the spot you call your own, so don't sweat the things you can't change like who wins the lottery or why your friends spouse looks hotter than yours  and sweat the things you can change, like how you view the world around you or how to respond to the stimulus of the day. It is only when we realize how valuable every moment is, how your time is used and what truly makes you happy inside and out. Without happiness, we are clouded by doubt and fear, that energetic force that impedes our journey forward, holding us back from becoming content with who we are really to who we REALLY are. Doesn't that than, make us just human? And aren't all humans the same? If you strip away the crustations, the money, the status, the wealth, the name, do you not still end up with a human?

Get down off your mound of political dominance, throw back to the nobodies their constitutional rights and see that the mission to be better than the rest will never work using any of those inherited, "God (or any higher power alagory) given", hard earned,  power hungry pains that you so called " Elected for the people" officials claim to have when making decisions that affect the World as a whole. The pinnacle upon which your throned will soon become enraged with doubts of its own and trusts for each other will be lost in the new greed, the one that is now sitting above the pile that you now call " the Top".

I will make the choice, My choice, to find the happiness for which is mine and mine alone, the one that comes from within, not from without! My piece of the happiness pie, is called " My Peace" and that is where my true happiness is born!

Thinking is never a waste of a good thought!
