To be honest, the preference of an ordered life is much better than of chaos. However if living in only one side of the story, how can we see the other?
Order and Chaos
Author: Thought Lighthouse
There is a challenge in the world of today. While all the things are going on whether it is fantastical or mundane, it is a picture that has the opportunity to become alive. It may look as it is completely normal, however it is only a picture on a wall until you bring it life. When you open up the mystery in front of you, you will discover that life is more than just an image or a brief caption, it is a connection to your very essence.
Hi I am John,
I am a blogger online and work as a massage therapist. I try to center myself to live with practical inspiration to daily life. I am trying to find the meaning of life, nature of existence, and questions that come to the very essence of who we are. I would like to do this together with you. Life is not to be alone, we are here for a reason, and I believe it is to be together.
Thanks for caring to read my profile.

Power and Control
There are things that are within our power, and things that fall outside our power. – Epictetus
The first paragraph of the “Manual” or called the “Handbook” written by Epictetus describes that there is a power that is within us. This power is not on the mere surface of brute physical strength as some may think about. Its not the power to outplay another in a game of wits in some sports match. No more it is the power to climb over some financial struggle. Perhaps a power to defeat evil in terms of good sounds seems abit fanatical, a bit over the top.
Those Who Are Wise
Remembering from high school physics class, energy has steps from still to moving. There is the potential energy and kinetic energy describing the stillness to movement. The two have a relationship with each other. If there is an increase to potential energy, there is an increase to kinetic energy. This also goes with decrease vice versa. However, if there is none, than there is none. Each of us have a potential within us. However, potential begins small and increases in size, energy, and power in the amount of time and effort put into it. There is no point in releasing energy if there is a minute amount of energy as it may never traverse from point A to B.
Build Essential
During the recent events of the widespread virus, there has been concerns to lockdown cities so to prevent further spreading. While that became in place, the city ordinances declared that only essential businesses can be performed. Non-essential businesses cannot. This gave a sudden turn of events for many city folk within the city limits. Since this was in effect with some working and many not, what is the city to do? They cannot do what they usually do or at least for entertainment such as movie theaters, bars or nightclubs, amusement parks, and other retail. Well at least not so openly in the public as it was in the recent past. Well, they could at home think of ways to entertain. However, the point is to cease the spread of the virus.
Pages of a Book
Would a book with only a cover be a book at all? This is an insane notion. How could a book be a book without pages. Only a title on the cover page doesn’t make it at all. It won’t even fancy as a paper weight if so. I wouldn’t know what to call it. Lets not forget about the other parts like the the bindings, graphics, the print, and countless hours of time and effort put into making a well-made book. Creating a book might seem obvious as describing what it encompasses. Yet, just as the process of creating a book, creating a better person needs the step by step process toward excellence.
Processing the Day
During the day, we go through a process from home to work and in between. While we ought to put our efforts in what is necessary, often we find ourselves doing other things that could deter, fragment, or drain ourselves in the long run of the day. Therefore suppose the process of our day could break up to micro processes. Many of them lie between the conjunctions from one task to another and also could be littered throughout. There are many micro processes between our work and life routine.
Picture the Present
There is that saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. It is very famous. However, for some reason, it is difficult to pinpoint who originated this quote. It could be Albert Einstein, perhaps Napoleon Boneparte, maybe it is a Chinese proverb, or unknown. It may be worth saying that pictures carry a lot of interpretations in it and hold one of many perspectives based on the eye of the beholder that is.
Steady the Moving Mind
There is a serious overload of activity during the day. Somehow the combination of things to get done can be mountainous. From one thing to the next, it seems the usual pattern. There are many victims that have this issue.
As soon as the alarm wakes you up, you begin the race of the day. Somehow you gear towards what is next. A series of activities launch one after the other from getting ready for work, working, going home, and even on breaks you remain on some type of movement.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. At home, there are dozens of things to do and even more so trying to squeeze something else into the morning activities. Go Go Go! For some reason, this is the mindset. Did you forget some R. R.?
Your Contribution To Your Health
What are you putting in your body to contribute to your health? What you put in is what you become. This is really meaningful as it makes yourself the way you are.
Having good health is not too difficult. However, there are many things that could make it difficult. In this day and age, as people are becoming more and more aware of their health, they are finding methods to improve their lives much easier. It keeps ourselves in good shape. There are sources available to anyone of us to make a well-rounded diet that would help bring a healthier, conscientious, and better life. The thing is that there are many sources to choose from. Not only are there these choices, within a product to buy or procedure to perform, there could be another phase of reference like ingredients to a healthy snack which may be composed of a bunch of things that you cannot even pronounce and for heaven’s sake not know.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
There is a Personal Legend within every one of us, however most never know it exist. The Personal Legend is a deep insight of the inner you. You can shape a dream into reality. You can even contact the Soul of the World. How could someone do this? You need to learn the language of the world. The world conspires to help you find your Personal Legend. The universe speaks to you and even guides you. However, if not pointing yourself to listen, communicate, and follow the guidance in front of you, it would only go about its business and you of course would do the same.
