Inertia – The Loudness Found in the Unnatural Quiet of COVID

October 18, 2021 by Paris Leave a Comment

“Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We’ve been using them not because we needed them but because we had them.”

Seneca

In the silence of COVID (and the events of Year Zero) did I have time to sit and think about where I wanted to be and where I was going. Inertia being everything that stopped because of COVID 19 and how new habits have to changed.

Inertia like transportation and commenting to work by owning a car, etc.

And being done with something refers to how those new habits change things. For example, getting the iPhone 12 due to Year Zero but the iPhone/cell phone category is now DONE. I don’t need to upgrade to the next few iPhones unless another catalyst changes that (like my phone is lost or broken).

Lesson Learned – Reflecting on February 2019

April 28, 2021 by Paris Leave a Comment

I found an old note on my Dropbox Paper account which I highlighted some key things in my life during the entire month of February 2019. I recorded these notes on a daily basis during that month so it is interesting to see how a fresh and accurate recollection of my mindset stacks up after 2 years (obligatory: wow that went fast). So without further ado, here are the original notes with my current status listed below each point. May these takeaway lessons serve you in some capacity on your path.

The Wisdom of Keeping Your Eye on the Ball

The Wisdom of Keeping Your Eye on the Ball by Paris D Hunter

“Keep your eye on the ball.”

This common phrase was repeated often throughout my life. Regardless of what form the ball takes (soccer ball, baseball, basketball, etc), it was important to keep my eye on the ball. I have been thinking about this for the past couple of days as part of self reflection.
 
The real wisdom hidden in the message. 

Wisdom that I clearly forgot over the last few years. 

This wisdom was lost on my younger self.

The Power of Bullshit

January 1, 2019 by Paris Leave a Comment

Thanos Reality Stone Power of Bullshit

I have been doing a bit of self reflection over the last few month’s and I came to the stunning realization of the Power of Bullshit.

The bigger realization is that I have been using the Power of Bullshit without fully realizing it.

Allow me to explain what the Power of Bullshit means to me.

“What dreams mean?” is a common search term. I interpret my dreams to provide clarity for me and you. Our dreams are different but our thoughts are common. We are humans after all. In the following pages, I document a recent dream as best I can recall and deconstruct it.

The Dream – Carlton’s

So I had a dream last night that I ran a place called Carlton’s. This is a thread story of course for Thursday Thoughts and if you know me, my dreams are always ridiculous but tells of my subconscious mind.

A yellow, softly lit Carlton’s sign rests over the door….
