gonna be great

thinking it's gonna be great puts expectations on the future that are at the very least unnecessary and sometimes can be quite stupid... yes, we can pun-ish the meaning of the words by inserting a reference like thinking it's gonna be great puts expectations, great expectations, even, on the future... but that would be silly (or, on the other hand, could enhance and deeper the meaning of the thought in the words if you it doesn't scare the dickens out of you... i mean, if you know the dickens... heck, i imagine many people who think they've had an education don't even have a dickens in them... how many of you have had a dickens in you?...

the expectations you set on yourself and your life pre-determine some of what you will experience but even more, it influences how you will experience all you experience so be very very careful with your expectations and if you are wise, you'll simply not have anything to do with them... that's right, one of the primary aspects of wisdom (and achieving it) is reducing your expectations to nil or as near nil as you can get them... it is your choice, after all, in case you don't know that... expectations are inner noise and there is so much noise coming from outside, adding to it is just foolish... the noise is the distraction, and another primary aspect of wisdom is learning how to ignore the noise...

not always easy, but then, it's easiest if you simply never learned how to pay attention to it so it never started distracting you in the first place, but that's a rare child who can know his or her own mind so early in life because the culture teaches us to not only pay attention to the noise, but to worry about it and waste a lot of time and energy stressing and trying to do something about it... nothing is gonna be great that way... especially not your dickens...

yes, so maybe the appropriate question is what were your expectations for this entry?

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
