The Future Me

Currently reading the book 

The Future You 

by Brian David Johnson


He poses several questions that are great in imagining (or reimagining) a future we would like to get to: 

1) Do you want to be rich? 

Yessir. 

2) What sort of rich do you want to be? 

I want to be rich in love, in life, in wisdom and in purpose. I want to be rich enough to be able to do what I love (spreading awareness, consciousness and elevating the human state, fighting for just causes of humanism and sustainability) without worrying about money; I see myself as a champion of diversity and inclusion, a Life Coach and an Activist. I want to be rich in a way that can be shared. 

3) What brings you pleasure? What brings you purpose?

Pleasure: Bakkwa, Poker, Inebriates, Massages 

Purpose: Chosen family, fighting the good fight, peace, stability, calm, expanding consciousness, free loving and free living, knowing thyself.  

4) What are you good at today that your future self DOES NOT want to continue doing? 

Corporate thingamajigs, IT Sales, talking without listening, pushing myself and others hard. 

5) What does your future look like at the end of the line? What does it look like Midway? What does it look like on Monday? 

WIP 


PEOPLE

6) Who are 3 (or more) people who will play an active role in the creation of your future? 

7) Who can help propel you to the future you want? 

8) Why do you think they can help? 

9) Will they support you in a positive way? 

10) Do these people have an alternative perspective to yours? 

11) Do you and these people come from different backgrounds? 

12) Will these people challenge you?

Freedom Tastes Like Tempeh

New lease on life - Check  Scruffy cat at foot of bed - Check  Snoozing lover gently snoring - Check   What more could someone ask for?  Hello World, I have shed some of your shackles and I would love to keep them off, maybe helping others while I continue to travel along the road towards a free life full of infinite love, expanded consciousness and the wisdom of the ages.  Thank you for spending your time and mind on this humble platform of mine.   DW <3 #firstpost #hello #goals

Ozone

Dedicated to Nick and Rus, loves of my life. Ozone  by dwayneyawned Our paths were always meant  to cross,  Though we flit  through  friends,  time and space,   Though we face this temporary loss.   Our paths were always meant  to join    Though we weave  through  fate, lust and place,   Though our lives dance  on the edge of a coin.   Our paths were always  meant  to twine,     Not once nor twice  but thrice in time.   For now, for ever,  in stanzas, in rhyme.     Around each other  in tightening orbits,   We gravitate, we rotate, we oscillate.    Dancing in love we sync  While  Deeper in love we sink.   Through the pull   of ominous forces we'll hurtle  Separation, incarceration,   compartmentalization.  Though in the moment,   all might seem unstable   At the ends of time to realise   we were always able. #throuple #polyamory #poem

Spiritual Engineering

As an engineer, I’ve been trained to apply the scientific methods of seeking the truth, continuous optimization and bringing improvement to mechanical and chemical systems.  Its easy to extrapolate this to the more visible and visceral elements of life and living - work, friendship, fitness, etc.  It is only of late that I realize the extreme benefit of consciously bringing this strategy to the realms of LOVE, WISDOM and SPIRITUALITY - also complex systems that require a deeper understanding, yet CAN BE UNDERSTOOD and EXPERIENCED and OPTIMISED.  Whoever said that a purpose-filled life, a love that defies the ages and a structured plan for spiritual growth could not be engineered??  Some basic principles:  1) Find commonalities, patterns, reusable equations / causations and correlations.  2) Test hypotheses and theories - Does it work? Are things optimized?  3) Never be afraid to discard failures.  4) Replicate successes. Automate successful practices.  5) Seek feedback continuously, se
