Happy Sapien

We exist not to understand the world but to create a world we understand.

Everything can be reduced to nothing.
Nothing means anything. Anything can mean something. Some things mean everything.

There an no known absolutes. Nothing exists on its own and all things become in context to another.

Success should be measured not in the number of wins under ones belt but in the preparation, experience and results anticipated.

Whether it’s a champion athlete or a platoon of soldiers, success is achieved through the hard work of learning from mistakes and knowing what to do. Even winning racehorses run between races.

Our mind is in constant state of being.

1. There is the state of Process where we think and ponder (especially those nights when you can’t sleep and don’t want to waste time trying). This is when we are in the mode to understand.
2. There is the state of Influence whereby our mind is in the mode of telling. An act of influencing others.
3. And the state of Absorption is when our mind is in the mode of observation. Letting our senses dictate, record or accept stimulus.

The states are dependent on each other and not unlike matter,goes through a process of transitioning from one to another.

Who are today’s renaissance men and women? Are they the business and finance industry’s movers and shakers? Or are they people of science and art? Are there inventors and innovators amongst us that challenge the status quo?

Who’s to say we’re more or less enlightened now?

First I thought TV was our generation’s opiate and the Internet would save us. Now I’ve come to realise that the Internet can also be our crack, speed, ecstasy or whatever it is a person is into these days. The medium’s message is dependent on the receiver.

From a movie called “199 Tips to Be Happy”

Tip #. You don’t search for happiness, you find it. .

Tip #137. You will reach happiness when you realise nothing is really important.

Progress happens through change. Change through action, action through decision and decision out of necessity.

As human beings, we are less interested in facts than we are about our own perceived truths.
