It is Important to Remember...

The other day I was feeling like nothing was happening, that I'm not getting anywhere, and  there were few prospects.  Then it occurred to me that I have done a lot of things and I shouldn't forget it.  The spark that was is still there.  I thought to write it down.  And then I added a few more.

It is important to remember ...
  • All you have achieved.
  • What is not important.
  • What is important.
  • Your goals, and to form new ones.
  • Your friends; they are the shadows of your personality.
  • Your childhood; all you are is rooted there.
  • Your parents; their signature is a goodly part of you.
It is important to..
  • Enjoy living.
  • Exercise your mind and body.
  • Love much; hate not too much.
  • Help out, when you can.
  • Have favorite things.
  • Honor and appreciate your friends.
  • Forget grudges, even if you can't forgive them.
  • Drive on calmly, despite all the morons on the road.
  • Keep your tank full.
  • Listen to good music.
  • Know a few really good jokes.
  • Read a lot in wide venues.
  • Have a personal philosophy.
  • Have faith and beliefs; they form powerful mental capacities.
  • Enjoy, love, and respect your children - even like them.
  • Try new things.

This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it.

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties.

Mediocrity
