100 Day Challenge: Day 29
Wow, starting into week number five!
Used the webcam on my netbook for the first time tonight, I forgot that most webcams have a warm up. So that's why the color shifts part way through.
I noticed an overall lesson on pride this week. After a thought about "empty your cup" while I was watching a video on pride I can't look at pride the same way. Really pride seems to make us unflexible and brittle. Brittle things break. It's really that simple.
The really interesting thing is in seeing how much pride plays into life. Trying to "take control" of life is prideful, control is all an illusion anyway. That's why it's best to let go of the outcome. It's good to have an outcome in mind (which was a lesson for me this week as well), but it's best just to trust, and let go and let God.
I feel like my thought processes were a bit broken while making the video, I apologize if they were. I make the videos and theses posts pretty much on the fly. But then again for me I find that's best, that way I don't get stuck in over analyzing things.
My big intention for the week is really to understand myself better. Just like Martial Arts, I need to have a strong base with understanding myself so that I have a good foundation to build on. I have a feeling that once I understand myself better and can create a clearer image of myself in my mind things will come together much more smoothly.
Well everyone wish me luck and make it a great one!
