Past, Present, and Future

Have you ever thought about your issues from a time-centric perspective?

That is, thinking about how many of your problems are located in the past, how many in the present, and how many in the future?

You might be shocked if you do.

You see, often times we view problems in a collective way, meaning that what we think is the issue actually incorporates all three places in time (past, present, and future).

We allow our overactive imaginations to just run wild; creating all sorts of strange new problems that aren’t even real.

In fact, if I were to take an educated guess, I would say 15% of our issues derive from the past, 5% from the present, and 80% from the future.

So as you can see, the vast majority of our issues come from the future.

In other words, they come from a time and place that has yet to manifest itself into our physical reality.

The future is uncertain.

We can’t really know with 100% certainty what lies ahead. It could be blessings or it could be challenges to overcome.

But regardless of what it is, why should we allow an uncertain future to impact our present state of Being?

In order to attain peace of mind then, we must ground ourselves in the present.

The past is over and done– learn from it and move on.

The future has yet to manifest– we don’t know what it holds for us just yet

So instead of worrying about what has already happened or what has yet to happen, just focus on what IS happening now.

You will find that by doing this the vast majority of your issues will either vanish or be drastically reduced.

Time is indeed a strange concept, but it is one that should excite us, not fill us with worry and fear.

By grounding yourself in the present, the potential– and often fictitious– imaginative negative aspects of both will fade away.

Look Good, Feel Great!

Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently. People started ...

Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us. It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way. According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience. It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
