16/7/21 ^^^Let's continue with the soiree

 While I continue with the journey forward be mindful that everything counts but nothing matters.

If you adapt to that principle, then you don't have any expectations from others and you are ready to lose all.

That is the basis of the Art of Brinkmanship.

While it is best to remain in isolation, total detachment is not possible.  Therefore the most expedient approach is [] (to) minimize interaction.

Long gone the days where I work morning till night because I care about the other person.  I went head over heel to help somebody so that he or she is better off.

Now, my priority is towards delighting my Universe Within.  The rest of the people as nothing more than the support structure in ensuring the Universe Within strives.

I am not talking about being a narcissist or a hedonist.  I am talking about having the Customer Service Mentality.  In this case, the Universe Within is the primary stakeholder of my entity.

Serve them well, they will return me the favor many times over.  That is the best investment I can ever make.  An investment that I will surely profit from.

--------------------------------------------------

I personally am about to make friends with my tiny citizens.  For the past 40 years, I abused my authority as the God to my Universe Within.  I smoke, I eat junk, I don't exercise and I sleep in the wee hours of the morning.

True enough I paid the price with my health.  The punishment is a life of loneliness.  That however is valuable training for me to be in solitude.  While loneliness is forced upon you, solitude is a personal choice.

My life is back in order again when I decided to remain small and autonomous.

For example, this life right now is the pinnacle of my delight as a human being.  What else do I need after I am complete?  Basically nothing.

All I need to do is Run, Write, Eat, Rest, Repeat.

Occasionally I read, watch TV, listen to the radio, and text a friend or two.

I learn one thing, as long as you are healthy, you are happy.  It doesn't take much.

Now that I found jazz, I can simply type my thoughts away as an autonomous Free Radical.

Most importantly, I should live in gratitude.

If I keep my life small and simple, I have nothing much to ask for.  Everything is in abundance.

Yup, I can listen to so many sources, but in the end, what matters is my own internal Voice of Reason.
