Your thoughts/mind
So, what do you think? Shall we leave our minds untended like an open field, or shall we cut, water and fertilize them? What are the consequences of leaving our minds untended?

I call it autopilot, perhaps we're talking about the same thing. Essentially, leaving the mind on autopilot is the worst thing we can do, but also it's the thing that we should aim to do. It's one of those topics that have mutual opposite extremes. The most interesting kind of topic 😁
How will you move forward this week?
Often our jobs prepare our week. We also have those specific things we have to get done personally (dentist etc.). Looking beyond that stuff, what is one thing you are going to do that is going to move you forward in your life this week?

Going to record the first piece of content, and continue working on community's course. The 2 most important things at the moment.

@Andrew Nelson Yeep. Small steps forward.
How we think is who we become.....
There is a small book called How a Man Thinketh by James Allen. It's exceptional, and from the turn of the 19th century He talks about our mindset. "As one thinks, so one is, as one continues to think, so one remains". Is one of the quotes from the book. Your thoughts on this quote?

I think people should think less πŸ˜‚ Is it a good book? Would you recommend? If it's short, I'm interested πŸ˜„
Clarity of Purpose
If our purpose is clear, the discipline is something we want to do. How clear is your purpose? Is it pulling you forward?

@Andrew Nelson I would, but I have to write a course, and for some reason I struggle with that a lot πŸ˜‚ It's slow, it's boring, just one of those things 😁
The Danger in Expectations
What happens when my expectations don't get met? The car isn't ready yet and I have to pick up the kids. The Pizza arrived cold. My husband forgot the milk (never happens does it?). While we work really hard to make things happen and live good lives, the truth is s--t happens and old patterns of poor behavior pop up (expectations of good behavior of ourselves don't get met). How do you work with expectations?

2 years ago I was flying from Baku to Vilnius, with layover in Istanbul. It was an afternoon flight, so I ate breakfast in Baku, and when I arrived in Istanbul I was already hungry. But Istanbul airport is extremely expensive, so I decided to wait until they give the food on the plane. When I was on the plane from Istanbul to Vilnius, I could only think when will they bring out the food. They finally started bringing out the food, but as the luck would have it, I was sitting in the middle of the plane, so I was last, because they started from the front and from the back at the same time. I had to wait until they serve everyone, while I was very hungry. And when they reached me, they said the options were chicken or pasta, but we ran out of chicken, only pasta left. And I can't eat pasta, because I can't eat gluten. So I said I don't want anything, and I was sitting in shock for maybe 20-30 minutes, just staring at the window. Contemplating all my life decisions and unable to believe the situation I'm in, while very hungry πŸ˜‚ But I was also reading Siddhartha at the time, so I looked at the situation from a slightly spiritual perspective, and realized that situation I'm in was due to my expectations. I survived the rest of the trip, I got home and I ate something, and it was fine. But wanting the food, and expecting to get it, was what made the situation that it was. After that situation, I learned that I can't be expecting anything. So now I'm not expecting anything from anyone. If I have control in my hands - I'll control the outcome. If not - I don't mind what the outcome will be. And now I even look at uncontrollable outcomes with humor. If the outcome is not what I wanted - it's funny πŸ˜„

@Andrew Nelson I heard travelling helps you understand who you are. I've found that very much true, but not in the ways I expected πŸ˜„
