a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

questionable knowledge
Posted on February 19, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Look past the misplaced wisdom, preconceived notions and questionable knowledge you involve in each decision you make.
   Think outside the thought.
   Delve deeper into the documented information available at any time and come up with fresh angles as you attempt new subjects.
   Approach any task or testament as if you know nothing. We all have new things to learn and greater ways of learning.

Moving Ahead
Posted on February 18, 2023 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Stand your ground, or step forward.

   Moving backwards is not healthy. Time expires, the routes change as the distance grows, and you have gained so much wisdom from the day-to-day journey.

   You got where you are by traveling where you have been.

   It’s all too easy to become complacent in the moment, but what is keeping you there?

   Think of all that is ahead. Keep moving.

   Leave your troubles, or your pain, behind.

   It’s not the past that holds you back, but what prevents you from moving ahead.

   Emotional traffic and fear has built up, yes, but attitude and mind control can help breakthrough the barriers.

   We move on for a reason.

   Many times the unknown is healthier than knowing, or remembering, where you have been.

understand

I can’t explain
what they don’t want to hear,
and they don’t want to
understand any more
than they have to.

They cannot
see beyond the
bounds of possibilities.

Communication barriers
of the mind, in time
become more.
