Ordinarily I would be a huge advocate of thinking. But now, not so much. The times that I listened to my instinct I usually ended up in a mud puddle. Not necessarily a deep mud puddle, but definitely muddy.
So, think. Just watch out for mudpuddles.

I hide my nuts… that’s probably a form of investing. That is all.
Remember what Veterans across the world sacrificed. Take a moment to give them thanks.
I don’t remember a lot of my dreams. I don’t sleep on sheets. Dreams are desires unfulfilled, not necessarily predictions of events that haven’t happened. Cleans sheets won’t change any of that, but they might keep your skin clear. And, just because you change the sheets, it doesn’t mean that the new sheets will be any cleaner than the ones you tossed. YOu may be worse off.
Don’t let your dreams blind you completely. No one likes walking into walls.

I think about legacy and life’s work way more than a squirrel probably should. More so now that I’m seeing more and more grey hairs where once there were brown. I know I’m an Eastern Grey Squirrel and grey comes with who I am. But this grey makes the regular grey look brown. Trust me, read the last sentence again, it makes total sense.
Some days the legacy looks good, some days not so good. My problem is I always forget that you can’t judge a legacy while standing nuts deep in it. Perspective is the true judge of a life’s work.
Perspective isn’t exactly a friend when you have the attention span of a squirrel.

Minding someone else’s business instead of your own is more often than not a full paid admission to a world of crud. Yes, everyone else is way more interesting than you. Yes, everyone else does things that you will never do. Yes, everything is better when it isn’t in your presence.
Deal with it. And stay out of trouble.

Maybe if I stayed away from that chocolate and went towards the vegetables, I would be of stronger mind than I am right now. Maybe I would have developed my brain more… maybe i’d be slightly taller, just a touch more fluffy…
I can’t help it if carrots don’t taste as good as candy.

If the apocalypse comes and I don’t have time to complain about it, I’m going to be really irritated. On the bright side, I won’t have to be irritated for very long, right?

There are times when you can pinpoint the cause of depression, sometimes not so much. It could be one little trigger… a candy wrapper crumbled on the floor, a leaf floating past a window you just happened to be looking out of, who knows?
Even if you could pinpoint what un-pressed you to begin with, what does that change? Do you immediately feel euphoric? Probably not. Sometimes you just have to ride it out.
So you avoid candy wrappers and looking out windows on windy days…then what? If you don’t know what will trigger the next wave, how can you avoid anything? You can’t… just ride it out. It’ll all work out.

An idea with imagination but no motivation is a ghost. If you believe it, you can see it… but if you don’t believe then you just have to watch the next episode of Scooby Doo. I watch Frank write over and over in his little black notebooks ideas that come from out of nowhere. 98% of those ideas are horrible. (his words, not mine) He has to keep writing to set a standard…to know what is good and workable… and what will need to be forgotten once its documented. You need to know where not to go so you don’t end up going there again.
That’s imagination. The ability to see it all, but only use a tiny bit. If he wasn’t motivated to bring those notebook scribbles out, why bother scribbling in the first place? Save the trees and the ink. Thinking you can do more with what’s there also plays a big part. Starting something and realizing that it may not look like you thought, keeping an open mind along the way to augment your vision if it needs it is important too.
This isn’t rocket science y’all… it’s art.
