I’ve been pondering some ideas and creating visual “pages,”
with the positive intention of “guiding myself along…”
Created after reading some amazing ideas,
originally from Confucius and other great Chinese thinkers,
in a very thought-provoking blog entry:
“The Importance of Breaking Free….of Yourself”
by Michael Puet, a Harvard professor, and Christine Gross-Loh

The ideas above evolved out of ideas I was exploring and feeling astounded by, after reading this amazing blog entry, by Micheal Puett, a professor at Harvard and Christine Gross-Leh:
“The Importance of Breaking Free of…. Yourself”

Their book: “The Path”

A few copy/past excerpts from their blog entry,

Continuing thoughts…….hmmmmm………????
How about…. “as if……..” becoming…….. a verb????
Instead of ….
“being….” “becoming….” “living…..”
Instead of….
“I’m” being…. “I’m” becoming…” “I am …….”
How about……
I’m “as if-ing………….”
Or perhaps…
since the perceived sense of a fixed, permanent “I” is being disputed,
how about….????
…..simply…..
“as if-ing………………………………………………”

Me, too… opening up to so many more possibilities

we have a tendency to keep our self constrained – small – when really the world of possibilities is at our fingertips, or at least, in our heart.

Yes, that’s one of the points the author of that article was trying to encourage people to let go of… believing and living in a “self” constrained manner….as you write, so many possibilities are right here in our hearts…
