Life without Ritual (part 2)

Which brings me to "consistently inconsistent."

Quick story...
Brent Carlson, perhaps one of the most solid and reliable sales men I've worked with (now a Clear Channel Rep), once told me I talk in a triangle. I start here, then go up to some other area, down to another topic and back to the original subject or question. "It will all end up making sense, but I'm never sure what just happened," Brent once told me. I think I talk this way because of the amount of angles you can approach one subject from. I have gathered information from the thousands of novels, articles, dictionaries and conversations I've had and it makes me think in a dimension that isn't just a Q and A. Hard to explain, but with the advent of the Internet, maybe some of you can understand that we are no longer living in a linear definition of life. There is a plethora of opportunities and abilities.

I believe that a way to move forward with gusto, confidence and excitement is to look to a life without ritual. A life where things like separation of species, Nationalism, depletion and degeneration will come to an end not out of a basic understanding or a campaign fighting for what's needed, but an advancement on our integrated way of thinking, doing and even being.

We have the ability to integrate ideas, cultures, concepts into a way that is outside the bounds of time, yet inside the scope of that which is. There is a need to go past who is right, wrong and who did what, when. We are, we will be and it's our decision as to whether we stick to our perceived life paths or find ways to elevate our selves through an open exposure to the world around us.

In a life without ritual, it is possible to be new every day in some way...

Next up.... What does a day without ritual look/feel like?

A World of Life, or Why to Live is the Opposite of Evil

 Wow. This is getting tough.  Not the work of life. Not life. Those have always been tough. What's getting to be so tough that it's almost unbearable, is knowing what I can do for so many that are struggling, while having the fear of change, doom, climate, water, food... on and on until it grips people so hard, that they don't move. They can't hear that there are options. When they see them, they are so tired of being lied to or manipulated that even when they think something is good, the past won't let them open up their own future. Having solutions for people didn't start with the solution, for me. In my life, it was always about the people. When I was young, I wanted to be a lawyer, but I ended up in business. It was my mom, actually, who showed me the world of marketing. I had no idea I'd end up there, but I loved watching her mind work, he sessions with my dad that felt like they were on fire, even from the top of the stairs or through the vents, where

I love Memorial Day (and leave the BBQ's alone)

I love memorial day. I didn't used to think of it much and I BBQ all the time, so I'm not too impressed with all those cartoons running around. I love memorial day because I get to officially remember people, many of whom I think about consistently but It wasn't always this way. Remembering can be hard and (in my opinion) paying tribute to those memories are an individual choice. I was living away from my family, in Arizona and married to an individual that didn't prefer me having any connections to people outside of him. My grandmothers both passed away in this time and I was unaware. My grandmother in Florida was an adorable little woman when I got to know her as a young kid. From my mom's stories, I know it wasn't always that way. Grandma Gron had to be tough to live through my grandpa and I promise you, tough is an understatement. She raised three children and my mother is of the best I have the pleasure of knowing or to know or know of. I remember and c

Past My Limit or Internal Lies. Three tips on personal motivation.

Every time I say to myself that I have reached my limit or that I'm past my limit, I have the instant emotional response that it's just not true. Like most, throughout my life I've had a variety of experiences, some pretty harsh trials and many lessons in endurance and perseverance. Here's a few tips on how to keep going when you feel there is no possible way you can. 1. Ignore reality. Not completely, but in some ways ignore the elements that make you feel there is no way out. Relationships that are ending, finances that are drained and the faith of others in your talents that has just run out are all real and actual problems. In personal and professional realms, there are times when you just can't see moving forward nor feel you have the strength to do so. I suggest you ignore it a little and get out of your current perspective. I can recall the day I drove into Millcreek Broadcasting, a small Utah radio group, to apply for a job. At twenty two I hadn't h
