CERTAINTY

Certainty - LIFE IN REVIEW

Now, these are not goals or desires, these are universal. Everyone needs certainty that they can avoid pain and at least be comfortable.

How do you get it?

Control everybody?

Develop a skill?

Give up?

Smoke a cigarette?

And if you got totally certain, ironically, even though we all need that, like if you're not certain about your health, or your children, or money, you don't think about much. You're not sure if the ceiling's going to hold up, you're not going to listen to any motivational speaker.

But, while we all go for certainty differently, if we get total certainty, we get what?

What do you feel if you're certain? You know

-      what's going to happen

-      when it's going to happen

-      how it's going to happen

What would you feel? Bored out of your minds, So, God gave us a second human need, which is uncertainty. We need variety. We need surprises. How many of you love surprises?

Bullshit. You like the surprises you want. The ones you don't want - you call problems, but you need them. So, variety is important. Have you ever rented a video or a film that you've already seen?

Have you done this? Get a fucking life O.K.

Why are you doing it? You're certain it's good because you read it before, saw it before, but you're hoping it's been long enough you've forgotten, that there's variety.

Here's what we really need.

Connection and love

We all want it. Most people settle for connection because love's too scary. Don't want to get hurt. Have you ever been hurt in an intimate relationship? If you don't raise your hand, you'll have had other shit too.  

And you're going to get hurt again. Aren't you glad you came to my blog for a positive visit?

But here's what's true -- we need it. We can do it through intimacy, through friendship, through prayer, through walking in nature. If nothing else works for you, get a dog. Don't get a cat. Get a dog, because if you leave for two minutes, it's like you've been gone for six months when you show back up again five minutes later, right?

We all know, corny as it sounds - the secret to living is giving. We all know life's not about me; it's about we. Everybody knows that. This culture knows that. You know that. And it's exciting to really know what others already know. 

When you see somebody talking about his business plan, the most passionate exciting thing is: here's a genius, but he's got a calling now. You can feel the difference in him and it's beautiful. And that calling can touch other people.

You only need to support him

Thank you. God Bless you for spending time to read.
