Everything is a direct response of the self. Until we commit, nothing else commits. Our own uncertainties are reflected and proportionate in the things that present themselves to us.

We replicate what we find. Commitment is of the mind. Commitment forms the basis of the path we stick to. We cannot commit whilst considering other options.

If I walk down a street I have to walk a given path. I cannot walk five paths at the same time, it won’t work; the closest will be to walk one after the other.

My personal fear is of decision making; what if I’ve chosen the wrong path? (What if I’ve chosen the right path?) There will always be a better route when you commit to “one thing” – it’s like the other options knew you made a decision and start calling you with better offers.

The best decision making process acknowledges commitment to one path makes the others more readily attractive.

To continually wander round streets wondering at the other (perhaps better?) routes is futile. Know why you took the route you did and do with doubt what you do with rubbish, bin it. Physically and mentally you’re better reaching your destination (even if don’t get what you’d planned), knowing you made a decision, took action and stuck to it than you ever could be sitting by the sidelines gazing at the infinite possibilities yet never knowing existentially what the potential outcomes could bring. Destinations can be reached both physically and mentally but we live in a physical universe.

There will always be potential in every choice of what we could have done in hindsight but hindsight means ‘after the event has occurred’. A decision not taken is a decision not known. If I can’t decide on a path I will never know the outcome.

Commitment is the ultimate trust of a process, allowing it to unfold naturally and taking appropriate action where necessary while all the time knowing why and what made you take that decision and having the confidence and trust in acknowledging and accepting the consequences that follow.

I used to believe that I wanted to become famous until I found the idea grotesque. Grotesque in so far that I realised the previous ideology shaping my beliefs were contrived.

Fame or the necessity of want of fame derives from requirements of want of “greatness”. “Want of greatness” is prevalent among the young and certain portions of society.

I want to feel great; you want to feel great; we all want to feel great. But are we great?

Try something:-
Close your eyes, tell yourself you’re great. Then ask yourself WHY you’re great?
How long did it take to reach an answer? I’m not suggesting, instead wondering if it took longer than expected to reach the answer?

Greatness on its own is a label with no contents; a pie without a filling. “Greatness” itself is based on ‘meaning’. We feel great = we have a meaning. Meanings make us feel great.

Levels of “greatness” are attributed to how meaningful something is to us personally. The greater the meaning, the “greater” the reason for “greatness” behind it. (if that makes sense)

“Greatness” fuels fame. It’s an oil that lubricates an engine that drives a machine.

Fame gives us meaning. We feel loved, we feel special, we’re adored; we’ve found what we’ve been looking for, but in the wrong place. Those who achieve fame are lucky enough to know this experientially, but for most, fame is elusive and so illusion continues.

Meaning is in what we do, not how we perceive matters. How we do something means something to us, not how we achieve it. Re-read this, it’s a bit strange.

We need to be honest about what makes us feel better. Will the amount of people I know or the amount of people I serve make me feel better?
Or rather:-
(1) You’re on the front cover of every magazine, everyone knows who you are.
(2) Your granny needs your help hanging out her washing, are you going to help her?

Which of the statements feels stronger?

Love will always motivate the strongest. Why? Because it is the stronger inherent force, or rather, it derives from a stronger current of power. Power = truth.

Most of the time we are not honest with ourselves, we spend far too little time understanding or acknowledging the motives for our actions.

Action precipitates thought, thought precipitates motive?
Or perhaps:- Action requires thought, thought needs action and motives generate.
(The generators are the ‘meanings’)

Think about why it is you do what you do, then ask yourself why you are great.

The greater the motive for doing something, the greater the necessity behind it. Do not be fooled by contrived ideologies of “greatness”, they are purely meanings looking for existence.
