Transactional Analysis --> The Games We Play
One video i stumbled upon piqued my curiosity and as I dug further I found some really cool insight into the interactions we have with each other. You can attribute some awkward or frustrating contact to these ideas, and hopefully, once the problem can be diagnosed, it can be fixed. I myself was able to quickly and easily identify real-life examples of what these videos talk about. It also goes into games people play and a Drama Triangle, and why it happens... this is GOOD STUFF check it out:

Quote(s) of the Day
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare."
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
"There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry."
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not."
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster... and if you gaze too long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
- Mark Twain

Thought of the D-d-d-day
Challenging yourself and your beliefs is the most uncomfortable thing in the world, but most of the time that discomfort comes from a place inside you that knows the idea which you are challenging is invalid. Kids are known for asking "why? why? why?" and it can get annoying, so eventually, either through responses which shut them down, or just being ignored, the ceaseless "why?"s eventually cease. But I wish kids weren't discouraged from asking "why?" rather, the question should be cultivated, and given direction. It's an important tool, especially in a society where taking things for granted is too easy (by design), and too often are we disarmed at a young age.
Thought of the Day
There comes a time when one should stop thinking about how things should be and starts making things how they should be. When does that time come? Whenever you think it should.

sometimes when certain people talk, you can see that they are so convinced of the truth, that every word and syllable has passion behind it. everything they say is profound and they dont waste time with political correctness or overdramatization. truth runs through him so there need not be a filter. thus his words come with conviction and ease. without even listening to his words one can take comfort from hearing a voice speaking the truth. enjoy

Question of the Day
Why does it seem people have an easier time [risking] getting in trouble doing the wrong things, than doing the right things?

Does this seem backwards to you?
This is something I've felt for a long time, but I'm not sure if it makes sense or not. Considering that I may have some artist friends who peruuuuuse my blog (everytime i think of the word 'peruse' i say it in my head like 'peruuuuuuuuuse'), I was hoping one or two of you may have some insight.
So basically, what usually happens is: I'll get an image in my head first, with the overwhelming desire to capture it on paper. I'll have no idea where it comes from or what is making me want to save it. But I capture. Then a look at it a day or two later, and low and behold a whole story comes to my head.
At first I felt like I was being cheap. Or not a "real" artist or something. Because I felt like most people have an idea, or a story and FIND a way to translate it and capture it on paper.
But as this has happened more an more, I'm starting to see links between my thought process and the random shit that pops in my head. So to me, it's like my subconscious comes up with a whole package but just gives my consciousness the image for me to figure out. I dunno why it works this way, or even if what I'm saying is true or makes sense or whatever. But I just wanna see if anyone else felt this way, or understands.

I'm making a commitment to positivity from now on. Its really becoming apparent to me that even if your circumstances aren't up to your standards, becoming salty about it is only going to make it harder to pull yourself up out of it. Plus, a negative attitude stunts inspiration.
I've made this commitment before and it was AWESOME, but it slowly eroded due to me keeping bad company, or allowing bad company to affect the way I think, or just losing track of it. Basically positivity has got to be maintained CONSTANTLY... it may seem daunting but the rewards make it more than worth it.
Peace
