It’s Me, It’s Not You!

It seems like it’s the same day that three jerks try to run me off the road, and I also have to go postal on a phone call from a telemarketer. It makes sense, and I’ll tell you why…

People are wacky, self-centered, and under stress these days. But more important, we get angry or upset because of our “condition.” On a good day, we can tolerate a lot of annoyance and disruption, because we are FLEXIBLE. On a bad day, when our organs are feeling tight, we easily overload, and then the world gets a piece of our mind.

What are the keys to success? First, recognize your general condition, as YANG (active, impatient, angry occasionally, strong) or YIN (passive, patient, giving, weak).

Next, help your condition by eating foods and doing activities that either RELAX (for YANG) or ACTIVATE (for YIN) your body. More on this in coming entries. But most importantly, if you are feeling VERY unbalanced, one way or another, make sure you catch yourself before you do something that you would regret later.

Becoming Open Minded

Why are U.S. public schools not making the grade?

For one thing, they are trying to be all things to all kids, something that G.M. has shown us can no longer be done well. People are unique, and have unique needs and interests, and as marketers (or school systems), if we fail to realize and make efforts to reach each person individually, people become closed.

Like junk mail, or spam, people throw you away, you are literally wasting your breath speaking to them, in these cases. Many of us keep talking anyway, because it’s our tape, we cannot help ourselves. And we are stressed, because we sense the stress of the other person. So first, BACK OFF!! Then, de-stress, and figure out a way to communicate your special talent or needed information, in a creative and loving way.

Another tip…

People generally have closed minds these days, because they are barraged by so many offers, and many of those (I’m sorry to say) are scams. Also, they are so busy trying to make ends meet, they don’t have time to chat.

One way to open people up is by simply noticing something nice about them. Or by getting them to eat brown rice. Yep, that works too. That’s why vegetarians tend to be more open-minded. You learn something new every day!!

The Stars Are Aligned

If you looked to the sky tonight from North America, perhaps you saw the crescent moon, Venus (bright) below, and Mars above, making a close triangle, low in the evening sky.

This beautiful sight reminded me that it is now my time to share my gifts with the world.

I care about this world and the people in it. The suffering we read about is so difficult to comprehend, from the five year old who lost his life at the hands of his father, to the tragic victims of violence in India, to those who are afflicted with cancer or other problems here and everywhere on Earth. It’s no wonder we Americans choose to medicate ourselves so heavily. Who can handle all that reality?

Am I crazy to think it can change, it must change, and it will change? Am I egotistic to think that I can be a force for this change going forward? I will move forcefully, because it seems very few are in a meaningful way, and time is moving on.

This week, I started offering Sweet Vegetable Drink, Cooking Classes and Lectures/Consulting on BETTER HEALTH & LOWER STRESS IN CRAZY TIMES. A few people tasted my cooking, and now share my optimism. And I am closer to paying my bills.

Next week, I hope to go even further. The stars will be my guide…
