About the now.
A personal view point of the world at large.
Its strange to look back at the person you were 2 years ago and then again 5 years ago. Ive found myelf recently to be different to what i once was.
I believe that in previous years i found it easy to hide from the world.
I would love to say i would change the way my life went but then i wouldnt be who i am today. I would like to call upon a reference, yes thats right a reference, Mr Morgan Freeman's quote in 'Seven' is a clear explanation as the way i dealt with life. Nope you're wrong to think that its the other one he said. The one in the bar.
I believe it is our own personal life experiences given to us from 'God' that we should use to benefit us and those around us. Always look on the bright side, every cloud, when in rome and any other metaphor which fits the given scenario.
At the present my life is on track. To qoute a true genius I would have to say that it is really really really 'fantabulous'. I have the basis to go on to become very sucessfull. That has never been my problem.
However,
I apply a strict 'Self Defeating Prophecy'.
A psychological term expressing how a fear of failure will destroy what you value most.Yes I value Pirates, but thats not the issue at hand.
Read with your eyes this example if you will........
Going for a team leader position at garlands, the night before goes out takes as many pills as possible , goes to a house party, doesnt go to bed, turns up next day, fails. Obviously.
Fails = Wasnt my fault i got wrecked night before.
Passes = How good am i, i was on a comedown in the interview and still aced it.
The worst thing that could happen, so you act in a way that makes it happen. At least then you know there is no doubt, no grey area, you know you will fail, but at least there is no grey area.
Training yourself to believe that 'what will be will be' is the single most difficult aspect to come to terms with. To accept that the worst thing may happen. After all said and done we are all going to die. Is that not the worst thing that could happen? The one thing from day to day we put out of mind.
The worst will happen. So do what makes you happy, dont swear but hell fuck it be twatting happy. I pity my mother who has been unhappy her whole life, always and forever trapped in an icey cold silence, seperated from the world due to her own insecuritys from her childhood. My dad has a patience i dont understand and possibly never will. I would hate to lead his life, unless he wins the 'pools' next week.
Deep stuff, this is the point id usually stop to insert the humour. Englebert. Dead? Im glad you get it.
But yea you can travel the world, take all the drugs you want, change the modern way of thinking, drink yourself daft, adore the adorable, make peace with your parents but in the end your still going to die. unlucky eh?

The Irrational Ellis
Feeling down, upset, depressed and unhappy?
Give up. Its so easy to do just that, i know.
It is natural to be in such conditioned states, what is unnatural is to go through existence never experiencing such brilliant creative inspiring forms of emotion. Everyone should feel like they have nothing to live for, everyone should feel there is no point in living at some point.
Why?
It is the exact moment when it graps your balls when the realisation of being in a shit hole which is your own living room surronded by fellow wreck heads late on a sunday afternoon in late november.
That is why.
Essentially there is no point in being. So why be at all? This is all part of my creation anyway, so we experience the bad moments to wake us up to the good stuff we werent paying attention to in the first place.
Albert Ellis the mad old bastard said,
'We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today'.
Personally i find it hard to condition my own head, to fight off paranioa that im not good enough for my friends my family and for the person i love the most my girlfriend.
So give up and be unhappy by all means. Makes you appreciate what you actually had to begin with.
Counselling is a god send to people who understand the importance of its being.
Use it.
''There's no evidence whatsoever that men are more rational than women. Both sexes seem to be equally irrational.''Albert Ellis

Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy
REBT
Just a few words about 'the' mode.
Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) is a comprehensive approach to psychological treatment that deals not only with the emotional and behavioral aspects of human disturbance, but places a great deal of stress on its thinking component. Human beings are exceptionally complex, and there neither seems to be any simple way in which they become "emotionally disturbed," nor is there a single way in which they can be helped to be less-defeating. Their psychological problems arise from their misperceptions and mistaken cognitions about what they perceive; from their emotional underreactions or overreactions to normal and unusual stimuli; and from their habitually dysfunctional behavior patterns, which enable them to keep repeating nonadjustive responses even when they "know" that they are behaving poorly.

Albert Ellis
Albert Ellis (born Septmeber 27, 1913)
Albert Ellis is an American cognitive-behavioural therapist who in 1955 developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. He is considered by many to be the grandfather of cognitive-behavioral therapies and, based on a 1982 professional survey of US and Canadian psychologists, one of the most influential psychotherapists in history. In the opinion of many is probably the most influential living therapist today.
Ellis founded and is the president emeritus of the New york city based Albert Ellis Institute.
