Never Fear The Dream…..

Posted on by simplebender

Don’t hold your ideas too superior or too sure. Challenge them. In reflection, some of the last century’s great truths are mocked today as ridiculous and shallow. Just as our thoughts and ideas will be a century hence. As hard as it is to hear, the world doesn’t revolve around you, regardless of your self-conceived worth. And yet, each of us has a part in how the world unfolds.  25.11

Progress, unlike decline, is slow and arduous. It takes a lot to continue the effort when so few gains or rewards are experienced. No one achieved anything worthwhile in a single act but in the accumulation of constant mundane effort in their pursuit. Decline is easy and natural. Our bodies wither without exercising, and our minds atrophy from lack of challenge if we all live with familiar ideas and concepts. The decline is a steep slope most cannot recover from without even more effort. Constant challenge, even if upsetting, is a better alternative. Your body needs exercise, and your mind wants to wander, explore, and make connections; let it.  25.10

We see, assess, and evaluate through the corrective lens of our teachings and experiences. We do this unconsciously without regard for or appreciation of different perspectives. But yet, trying to understand the perspectives of others is paramount in a functioning society. The world isn’t just how you or I see it. It is a beautiful mix of colors, angles, shadows, and fractured scenes, all blending into our perspective. We should appreciate and learn from other ideas and concepts as they add to the richness of our understanding. If you lived only in and understood an additive world, the ideas of subtraction would violate every pretext of existence, yet 6+4=14-4. Obstacles always arise; rise to their challenge. Don’t let perception be the obstacle that blinds you to a broader understanding.   25.09

The fears created by your imagination are more insidious than reality. Don’t run from your fears; chase them. Your mind, especially a fatigued mind, can make your anxieties into terrible monsters. Monsters that rage within you and hold you in fear’s death grip. Rather than succumb to them, turn and face them. Turning your anxiety into a strength and every challenge an opportunity. 25.081

When you look through a glass window, do you look for your reflection or yearn to view the world? You are part of both views, but make one your focus. Those vain and self-centered will focus on their reflection, regardless of its distortion. Others will see but not focus on their vision but will strive to see the world they are part of. They know no one knows everything but that everyone knows something. It is the accumulated knowledge that pushes us forward. Never forget— you can learn something from everyone, and they can from you. 25.08

If all you’ve ever known is privilege, you believe in your superiority and resist efforts for equality and balance. If all you’ve ever known is oppression, then you believe in your right to resist. If the privileged sense a loss of inherited rights, they are incensed. If the oppressed gain any new rights, they feel empowered to grasp for more. And so, the power pendulum swings synchronized with misunderstanding and mistrust. At some point, the pendulum must reach a point of stasis, lest we are forever trapped in senseless struggles. 25:07

The power of silence must not be underestimated. We spend years learning to speak but never take a single lesson in hearing. Devoid of listening, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to understand others and learn about ourselves. The power of silence is almost limitless. It can confound, frustrate, and create illuminating moments. Rather than formulating your answer while someone talks, try to listen. What you discover might be life-changing. Learn when to use your voice and when not to, but silence and inaction in the face of tyranny and atrocities is cowardice. 25.06

Hire indiscriminately, promote and terminate on merit; not on project bias. The hardest projects require the best, you reward their effort not the results. Revenge and retribution, like arrogance and pomposity are not leadership skills. 25.051

In youth, we had role models of convenience—our mothers, fathers, and teachers who were our guides. We trusted them blindly, not knowing if they or their influence was positive or negative. As we mature, we aren’t bound to follow their path; sometimes, we must rebel against it. But you can’t make the crooked straight without a ruler. Measure yourself against a true standard—one that draws from diverse teachings, each offering a unique perspective to help straighten your path. Because you are now the role model, and you want to be good, right? 25.05

Don’t quickly agree with those who have much to say about many things—they typically don’t know much about anything except themselves. Avoid leaders who exploit your fears and hardships, offering nothing but empty promises and false hope while pursuing their gain. Find peace in who you are, not in what you lack. Remember, self-absorbed leaders cannot bring you tranquility; you can only do that. 25.04
