Affirmative Actions

Going for affirmative action when your mind, body and soul are in unison. Prompting you to do what you have subconsiously and consciously arranged as the next step of deliberate action.
The mind and body works even when not avare, arranging and discerning what is the next step to take, the upcoming moment that now requires your attention, time and focus.
To ponder upon excessively, doubt and consider other options when your attention is brought to what  you now have the opportunity, time and opening to do, is like lamenting your own will and abilities to know what is good for yourself.
When stuck considering other possibilities too often, what remains is an inconclusive drive of momentum that halts itself from becoming realized.
A feeling of yourself never being at the right place, the right moment, the right time, and still waiting for that illusory perfect time that unbeknownst to yourself, is right now, or when you had originally intended to.
Convincing yourself that tomorrow is a better fit to begin the project, innitiate the workload, go for a walk, take a jog, when the moment was already there and quite obviously so. Repressing the needs of your own consciense, saying no to what the mind and body is telling you to do, after a while, the mind and body will stop asking, and begging and pleading has taken the simple request place.
The inner committe of gentle persuasion, has now been cast aside and an angry military personell steps in. Thus resulting in  confusion and frustration, that could have easily been avoided in the first place.
The snowball of few tasks and necessesities suddenly turned into a meteor ready to crashland, with scientists and astronomers desperately trying to find a coherent solution.
It is wise to Conduct yourself in a calm and steady approach, knowing that there will always be beautiful limitations of how much can be done, within the span of a day.
So take the first step on the clear pathway in the woods, know that the terrain has already been mapped out, without rushing into the forest whenever a squirrel wags it tail at you.
The destinatuon is there, but once in the woods with wild terrain, you might not find your way back.
When your mind, body and soul says it is time dor fun, leisure, relaxation, working, a serious mood, going out, whstever it may be, listen to the sensations being sparked and do not doubt the impulse and mood you desire. This is also an integral part of taking proper care of oneself.
You know your own pace, capabilties and how it is a part of you best yourself, so respect that you do things on your own time, but do not block time and action for operating together harmoniously.

  Seeing the individuals you love 

Try your best to see other people,
Not to blur out their facial features, hollow sockets with eyes missing, lips that bear no distinction, nose with no character, hair with no shape, smile with no light, hands with no fingers. Do not see anonimity with others, see that all have something inhetently theirs, belonging only to them, millions of exlusive aspects that make them who they are.
See the eyes, try to see the story they hide, the light they enemate, the individuality they exude.
See the entire body, all of its components, and know that it has always been and will always be one of a kind, no two exact replicas of the same person will ever exists.
Listen to the words they speak, do not glance past what their hearts decide to share.
Some people we will not get close to, most will pass us by, slumbering in the depths of forgetfullnes until we might see them again. Just casually pass us by in the blink of an eye, without noticing anything remarkable about them. Getting to know them, see them, experience moments with them.
Even though you might see a stranger and nothing more, they still carry depths of experience and life lived, although different from yours.
Most will never get to show you the unique flame of life burning within, only a faint glimmer as you rush by. As it is supposed to be, you cannot get to know all the flames on a personal level.

The problem specifically rears its head, when you refuse to see those close to you, when you cant remember the colour of their eyes, cant describe the shape of their lips, cant remember the words they have spoken, unable to recognize and appreciate their actions and efforts.
Amost as if the people you surround yourself with, are hollow beings with no distinction, because you never took the effort to see them, and therefore, hollow beings with no soul is all you can remember them as. As therefore, in your own mind, nothing to love, be enamored with, nothing that sparks your interest, nothing that stands out, empty vessels much like machines just like everything else you see.
When the eyes are only turned inwards, and ones own wishes, desires, happines, contentment is the only thing considered, and others are empty machines to cultivate those needs.
You no doubt live an empty life, a lonely life, where the only person you see and think about, is yourself. Living as if the umiverse only had one soul wandering the earth, and others simply being a vague extension of yourself you can never really hold and get close with. That the moments shared, feels as if being a monologue with puppets as an audience.
You will never experience the beauty and grance of another person, if you only see a dew details.
Like listening to a song with muffled sound and never getting a grasp of the lyrics, Like only seeing the left bottom corner of a painting, Like only seeing the first 2 minutes of a movie.
Do not only see your own emotions and thoughts in others, see theirs.
Allow your own truth, core being be known, and allow the core of others to be known.
Allow whatever emotions and impressions that arise within you upon contact with another to flourish, to grow, to blossom, and share. Still, also recognize the person for who they are, and see the impact and effect you have on them, and vice versa.
Of course, who we chose to see fully, who we can see fully, and who allows us to see them fully, is not unlimited. Remember to also allow them to see you. The dance is in full motion.

We are not animals who only should chase food, survival, baby making and hunting.
We are beings in need of emotions, thoughts, reflections, aspirations, hopes, dreams, consciousness, sadness, melancholy, laughter, joy, adventure, trust, security,sex,  happines, art, creativity, entertainment, change, beauty, love, friendship, intimacy etc to feel a sense of spark and liveliness.
Those aspects of us that need outlet should never be repressed, quenched or killed off by ourselves and others,
Without those things, when we are told only to consider survival (money) food (fuel) and baby making (genetic release), and forget all other aspects that make us unique.
We become much like animals, and animals do cruel things to each other.
The law of man and woman, is not the law of the jungle, there is a clear distinction,
And those places where others seem to forget what inherently makes us unique, cruelty and thoughtlessnes ensues.
Where the emotions of an individual are considered unimportant, where thoughts and need of knowledge is forbidden, and to ponder and make reflections is banned and punished.

Why kill what makes us unique, why kill the potential that lies within, the beautiful potential of possibilities and realizations that can arise and come through.
Why should questions not be asked, why should emotions not be an integral part of life, why should thinking be considered tiresome.
Unless we want to be like the animals, it is time to start paying attention to each other, to recognize that we are more than animals, and we always have been.
Animals should not be our role models, where they act much alike, behave in the same manner, humans do not. We are all individual, and to conform and project ideas of all being in the same way, without individuality, is pushing barbaric ideals.
To see the kaleidoscope of life within all of us, and the glimmering and fantastical lights it creates. The sensations within, reflected on to the outside world, not put in a box to collect dust in the attic.
We are more than just food, survival and procreation
Live the unique light belonging to you,
Although others might deem it unimportant and insignificant, it is what makes you who you are, and that should never be forgotten.
Let your freedom shine bright, it is a human right.

Stranded in the middle of a vast ocean,
The boat has no sail.
The wind has ceased,
Only the great skies above,
And the frightening waters below.
I get up to my knees,
There are islands waiting to be explored,
Bursting with life, trees and birds,
The life has ceased in my bones.
The contrast of what lies beyond,
Hampered by the chains within.
I smell the exotic fruits,
I hear the merry and joy,
I see the potential of what awaits me,
Nowhere to be found in this boat.
Days pass,
Nights spent in dreams,
I am allowed to visit,
A short glean I am granted,
The sun erases them all.
I leave the boat,
And force my body to swim,
A false spell of safety had been cast,
The Islands were within my grasp.

A place where no words can hide truth,
where the shifting skies share a beacon of the pink light.
The whistling leaves leave you with no doubt,
there is no uncertainty of the beauty before you.
You are not left wondering of truth,
the truth shows itself as a cold gust of wind caressing your soul.
There is nothing to discern,
the tall trees hold no judgement.
A bird shows itself,
curious of your presence.
It is on a journey just like yourself.
Dawn is approaching,
but the dark bears no lies.
The sun is resting,
and the moon now resides.
Sensations overflowing,
the nature around you bears no grurdge,
it allows you to be.
Be one by its side.

The entirety of the situation was at odds with my perception,
Something felt off,
But I let the feeling squander under the guise of logic explanation.
A twilight zone,
Where truth was infused with the posion of lies.
An apple rotting,
Convincing yourself it had a sweet smell.
No fresh fruit was served,
Only the leftovers they could muster up to give you.
Such a skewed image of love presented,
One could not grab hold,
It was never there to turn a cold body warm.
Only cling to the illusion of another day,
Such sparks would be felt,
But the moment ceased to present itself,
But hope refused to be dispelled.
An odd situation,
Kept hostage to falsities,
But one could hear the bell,
An assembly of notes chiming,
Truth is coming your way.

Do not chase after those who do not accept you, see you, appreciate you, and see the true colors of the individual you are, and your needs for hapiness and love.
Those with scorn or judgement, will remain scornful in their opinions, and a mind that has made up an opinion, is a really long and tiresome struggle to try to change.
Your worth is worth more, and it is diminishing when feeling the need to correct, educate, explain and try to show anything by example to contradict their set views and opinions.
Turn the other cheek, turn your mind and attention elsewhere,
Because feeling the need to rectify, better and improve the opinions of others of yourself,
Is not very productive nor does it give you or others anything of value.
Its a desperate attempt to make them see the light within you that will never disappear, but their eyes and minds too clouded to see.
Such people can go elsewhere, and allign themselves with what they find to be good and true,
And if your core values, your deepest needs arent seen as good and true by them,
You simply are too different to function together, and thats okay. Just walk the other way.

Emotions are beautiful. What you and others feel on the inside, are worth acknowlodging, sharing and experiencing together.
Emotions are not something to be hidden, shunned upon, seen as weakness or deficit. Those who are strong allow emotions to flow through them, allows the inner currents to flow gracefully. Being recpetive to the emotions of others, their needs, their deep longings and wishes.
Not judging what they feel, not saying how they feel is right or wrong.
Being there for others, being kind with the emotions of others, handling them with great care and affection.
Not something frivilous to be stomped upon, spat on, disowned. It is part of our core, something we must be proud of, elevate, nurture and give whilst also recieving.
When others are sharing, you have responsibilties, responsibility to be there for them, the heart is sensitive and vital, it will always keep on beating.
The heart where emotions pour out from, whether they be joyous, happy, filled with laughter, amusement and content, celbratory emotions. Honest emotions, honest living.
Take intomyour being what life has to give, what others have to give, dont block the sensations from coming.
With great emotional bonding, also comes the trust that they will be taken care of, cradled and kissed.

Also being mature with your emotions, accepting that life and circumstance cannot be exactly as you want it to, coming into acceptance that others are fine just the way they are, that life is beautiful just the way it is. And to cultivate happines, not resentment, jealousy, anger, spite and bitterness.
To never try to manipulate the hearts of others, to change their core, to exert dominance and cold power to bend others to your way.
Never to use emotional insight and knowledge for selfish gains, for superficial reasons and egotistical desires.
Grow the flowers that give a good scent, smell and indulge in those flowers. And trust that you dont have to dominate and control the course of actions around you, based on fear of loss or that the world around you will change for the worse, that something bad might happen. Your loved ones are fine, you are fine, dont let your fearful emotions make you lose your faith in yourself or others. The love you feel for others, they also feel for you. You would not doubt the love in your heart, so the time has fome to stop doubting the love in the hearts of others they care deeply for you too. It goes both ways.

Knowing how important it is to be self-nurturing, to not wait, expect, demand others to comfort your emotions, say what you want to hear, act in ways to make them indulge in your every need you do not offer to yourself.
If you do not treat yourself nicely, you are starved for others to do so, you act in ways to make them give you the assurance you refuse to give yourself. You are crippled by the anticipatipn, hope and time spent prayong for others to say or give you what you want and need.

You cannot exist in such a state of waiting, time is wasted, when the nurturer also comes from within. Tell yourself you are beautiful, loveable, nice (but then do remember to act on those principles), and when others do tell you such, bask in the moment, love them even more, feel the sensations, allow their words to enter and caress you.

If you always longing for comfort from others, it will never truly satisfy, because there is a contradictory voice within denying yourself from feeling adequate. And even when others do tell you nice things, you find them hard to believe, and therefore do not recieve.
When being okay, good, great with yourself, you allow yourself to do more good, to participate, create and share, to let the inner light shone bright. It does not shine equally bright when troubled by a nagging voice putting yourself down.

Be okay with others, what they say, what they dont say, and when you accept the expression of yourself and those around you, life flows more freely. Instead of trying to force a moment, a statement, a happening or words. Those things come naturally, trust that they do, trust others.

Knowing that when allowing insecurities to rule, self-doubt, self-sabotaging. Those inner thoughts and words can manifest around, and turn into verbal hurt being thrown in others direction, thus your own self critizicing manifests as critizicing others, becaude the turnoil within finds a way out. Do not nurture such turmoil of the mind, because it does not benefit you or those you love.

Knowing that whatever may happen, you cannot always control your emotions and how you respond, nor that of others, but to behave in a kind manner, be understanding, compassionate of the feelings others hold inside. And nurture yourself and others, even though they may not do as you like, as you please or act in ways thst might spark insecurities within, allow them to be themselves, live life, and to not let it rattle your core, and when feeling good about oneself, you create more good.

Being okay, confident, great, even though things do not always go that best suits you, that would give you most gratification, having that inner voice of reassurance anyways. Being okay with your environment, people, to the best of your ability. Because time spent in disharmony, fear, hurt, is time that leads to no productivity, betterment and future joy. It only cripples.
