Fairytales

Fridays are usually the lightest days of the workweek for me, but when I look over my intentions to accomplish, I see myself passing the baton to my future self too often. So here I am on a Friday, closing the door on potential anxiety and choosing to address the clutter in my office, classic procrastica-working strategy. Still, creating a zen space void of triggers of what I ‘should’ be doing helps keep my eye on the prize.

I whipped up a podcast yesterday with the theme that life is hard and later never shows up. These are perfect insights for me to keep in mind as I work to close the gaps while keeping my head above water.

My subscription to the Globe and Mail newspaper resumed on Monday and, with it, a window into the world of politics, economy, and global awareness. Putting my head in the sand is appealing, but it does nothing for my future self. So, I think I have managed to embrace an acceptance of our current social construct. To develop and create systems for my business and figure out where I can invest my efforts, energy, and time to make positive impacts requires me to be informed.

Media is a crapshoot of information overload combined with PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) designed to skew the general public’s perception to distract from actions that an elite are doing in the background to get more of what they want they know are harmful to the world you and I live in.

So yes, one could avoid all media, but even better is learning to have a critical eye to know what is a distraction from what is trying to be hidden. I came across a reality scoring system while watching a video by NCI University. You can download it yourself, but you can save yourself having to sign up on a list and snag it right here.

The more I accept rather than rail in outrage at injustice, the more I can intellectually work strategically against the systems. I no longer assume that my golden years will be this fairy tale of relaxing on my rocker on a front porch somewhere because if that is the path I choose to take, it’s also shutting the door on so many other people.
