(#6251) Make an effort to matter beyond the self machinations inside your own head

      We all do it. Spend way too much time inside our heads thinking about ourselves and how we live in our world. We spend too much time centered on ourselves and not on people, places, and things around us that are begging for our attention. We are missing out on life and the wonder of it all because we are stuck in an endless loop of oh whoa is me. I cannot tell you how many times I have felt slighted or disabused in my head only later to realize that I was never part of the equation of the perceived slight. Yet my expectation often includes me in most everything around me. I have finally figured out how to master my own insignificance and I am better off for the insight.
     Instead I think about my own environmental surroundings and what is happening in the whirligig of the motion and stillness. There is a subtle vibe I get that sharpens my awareness and allows me to capture the essence of the moments of my view, What is even more remarkable to me is my own sense of contentedness. When I am no longer the center of my thoughts I am released to experience life outside my own frailties. Many people look at their surroundings and only see a loose organization of individual motions. Not me so much anymore. I see a cohesion of motion that has a function formed from societal norms. A choreography that practices to be efficient and evolving.
     Of course there is still chaos around and it is disappointing in that we as an enlightened evolved species have not always succeeded in doing our better and best. Our society is being derailed from a true democratic system by those who have an ulterior motive agenda that undermines the democracy for all ethos. By not being in my head about me I can see what is happening around me to others that not only disturbs me but activates me to fight against it. I am where I need to be as a rule. What I hope is that others will find the same balance I and others have in putting our selves out of the equation and letting everyone else in as the calculus.
