Are you stuck in a rut?

[12thUranus]

so very loving toward you right now foosnik. love your "trip" and love your conclusion. i always feel like i'm "backpacking" through my life, so what you say has strong meaning with me.

allow me to rant on the topic of going toward our dreams.
i am!
let's not look on another and suggest that he/she is turning away from his/her dreams. my existence in life has created me to desire a single objective- to be a dedicated father, husband, family/home developer. three things i never had (not that i wanted a husband lol; not that there's anything wrong with that lmao). i run into people from way back in high school that say things like "i thought you should be in a lab creating a cure for cancer by now." well if i am so dang smart, then why won't you look at what i am actually doing and consider that it is genius!! (tongue in cheek).

a great misstep i get from motivational persons (i.e. deepak in mythic journeys) is that our dreams must be grandiose. not everyone can be at "the top"!! there have been 44 presidents out of how many millions of persons? (not that being president is anything special afaiac).

you are perfect, foosnik, for being you. i am too.

i think people incarnate here for infinite different reasons but i think a big part of whatever reason you come for is to experience joy

all the other emotions are greatness too, and very much why we are here.

i have incarnated for me, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, ad infinitum.

we agree 12th! yay

i don't believe in perfection. to say something is perfect automatically implies there is something that is not perfect. and imperfection, if my studies are correct, does not exist except within the perception of the viewer. or as a distortion, as rah likes to say. the same with truth. to say there is truth implies that there is untruth. there only is. just the isness of god.

so none of what we say or do could be somehow wrong.

i would only ask someone to look inside their heart and answer the question, "is my life bringing me joy?"

so if you are happy 12th, then i am happy. simple as that.

this will be short. start with thought; get as much positive emotion flowing in your technical device called the mind. then mold that thought into getting out of your rut. finally, let the spirit come through, propelling you to your destination automatically.

man foosnik, im typing this at 12:12 and wanted to say you are way ahead of so many people. i sat down and read your post on a whim and it made me feel really great.
your so right about joy and dreams.

that is how i got out of one of my old ruts. i quit my slave job after the universe delivered a series of cds that was almost literally that "missing puzzle peice" ive been looking for all my life through a series of crazy events (another thread). not caring about anything but being happy and free, even when the bills were piling up and the debt was too, i just laughed it off with a big fat smile. i wrote down my dreams with such excitement every day, it really truly gave me a reason to get up, to look towards the future like its christmas day! and yes all the debts but 2 were all paid off from some "interesting" sources and circumstances. and now that is my life, the pursiut of all my dreams with joy and excitement, fully "unplugged" from the so called "matrix" and it keeps getting better!


12uranus, i had a good chuckle when you mentioned a cure for cancer because i actually know the doctor who has a cure. like i always say, he has a 92.3% cure rate of over 35,000 patients. you can pm me if you want more info on him.

foosnik, that is an amazing, and inspiring story. your comment on death, i too agree with. i see no reason to leave my body yet. i am and want to make the absolute most of this life! in fact i am deliberately forgetting my age.

you're right, if your bored why live? it seems the longest lived and happiest people always have a new goal, a new challenge, a new adventure. it gives them a reason to live.

natho, i admire the fact that you want to be happy. isn't that what we all want after all? why isn't a national park ranger a major dream? if you did have the world at your fingertips would you still do the same thing?


hey apro 4x4, what is your dream car?

I bought a 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic in B5 Blue

OMG, I sure am stuck in a rut! And I try to be positive. I even thought I'd got out of it in a big way only for everything to fall apart and I'm right back where I was! I am a wife and mom so feel some of this won't be changed for a few more years. But then what? I think all has to fall away before that change can be made but it seems so way out of my comfort zone I don't know if I'm willing to go there. So I grind and grind away in the rut but I still have hope for the future. Good luck, everyone. I'm hoping this year brings the changes so we can all do a reset.
