Loops

There comes a day…

…when…

…even scum…

…meets its match.

On that day, or from that day onwards, …

…nothing seems to work out for even the worst evil entities.

How does one get to being…

…the worst of the worst…

…or, perhaps, the best of the best?

It’s all about loops.

Positive loops.

Negative loops.

Downwards spirals.

Betterment cycles.

Let’s break it down.

Action. Let’s say good cause created.

Positive effect.

Felt by one’s environment as well as one’s body, mind and soul.

Biochemistry of positivity secreted.

One’s system feels great, like a billion currency units.

Sleep quality great.

Feeling of contentment – priceless.

One psychologically wants to recreate this loop forever.

Wonderful. Please let’s keep doing this only.

Flip side.

Negative cause created.

Corresponding negative effect on environment and one’s entire system of body, mind and soul.

Biochemistry of negativity secreted.

Neurosis.

Psychosis.

Sleep quality horrendous.

Digestion compromised.

Immune system compromised.

Invitation for disease to seep in.

On-edge and worsening state of body and mind makes it very easy for more and worse negative causes to be created, within the same cycle, as wild-oat add-ons.

Even though one hates the idea of it, one has dragged oneself into a snowballing negative loop, out of which one needs to pull oneself out with full force, before it’s too late and before the burgeoning avalanche of adverse Karma drowns one into oblivion forever, erasing any trace of goodness or its footprint that ever existed in one.

It boils down to what we choose to do with our lives. Choices.

It boils down to the causes we create. Good karma. Accumulation. Non stop. Do good. Move on. Repeat. Loop it.

It boils down to this moment in life.

Let’s make it and all following moments the best ever possible moments for us and our environments.

Let’s let our positive loops carry us onto higher and higher, better and better trajectories. In life. In investing. In CSR. In society. Everywhere.

Cheers. 🙂

Recognition

Hey.

Don’t cry for me.

I’m doing well.

At times I’m down, when I seek recognition in the outer world, from people, from a country, from an institution, etc.

Since these sources have nuances, I get disappointed at times.

Over the years, have been learning to find recognition elsewhere.

I’ll just share with you where. Before that, let’s speak about every human’s need for…

…recognition.

We have it. Let’s not sweep it under the rug, or deny / ignore it.

Since it’s there, we need to deal with it.

When recognition comes from a worldly source, it is fickle at best. It inflates us, and makes us look for next-level stuff. And…

… it is fleeting.

A tool for manipulation.

Addictive.

Not leading to lasting happiness.

Not aligning with my core values committed to pursuits of good health, happiness, long-term contentment, and efforts towards no regrets.

Therefore – avoidable.

Stopped looking for it in humans or human-related paraphernalia, physical or institutional.

My recognition has been coming in something more natural.

Numbers.

At times in health numbers.

At other times in financial numbers.

In universal numbers.

Don’t have numbers to measure happiness and contentment. Can feel or not feel them though, and that’s a good enough marker. Regrets can be numbered, and eliminated down to zero. That’s wonderful.

Since I’ve chosen numbers to be my source of recognition, my entire focus in the endeavour to feel recognized focuses on health, financial and universal numbers.

Numbers speak to me. If they are recognizing my efforts, they don’t hide it, and I can read their message fast. When they don’t like my efforts, they are outspoken, and I get their drift, hopefully even faster. Even a preliminary health number out of whack? Springing into action to get it back on track, for example.

Downside?

Constant measuring and monitoring causes stress.

Yes, numbers can be stressful, since they trigger stress hormones, especially when they are out of whack.

Remedy?

Quality sleep.

Recovery.

Healthy intake.

Creation of good causes.

Befriending…

…numbers.

Finding a way to not get stressed at unusual numbers.

Like now. When financial worlds are crumbling, what keeps one numerically motivated? It’s the pursuit of a low buying average multiplying upon recovery. Since one has planned and kept oneself liquid for exactly this scenario, crumbling financial worlds are feeling comfortable, because the plan is being implemented. No other reason.

Or like recently. My HbA1C was out of whack. Hadn’t been monitoring for a while. No one’s looking – ok let’s binge…

The upside of constant monitoring is that one sees the effects of a binge immediately, and that alone causes one not to want to binge – the fear of seeing the effects of one’s stepping out of line.

Bottomline – monitoring has upsides, and downsides. The biggest upside is the wooden cane of the teacher, waiting to hit you, should you step out of line. The biggest downside is stressful obsession.

In the middle, there’s a path that brings happiness, contentment – and – recognition, even when one has chosen for oneself that these entities come from…

… numbers.
