If life were like a brand, spanking new video tape...

 
 
 ...in what way do you think you'd make time work in your favour? (Simply choose ONE of the following video modes.  Include your reason(s) why you think this would be the best way to live your life.)   
 
 
A) PLAY: Who said taking the plunge wasn't easy?  Thinking outside the box and working that spontaneity factor is what you're all about my friend.  With an open mind and extroverted self, you waste no time in achieving exactly what you want and how you want the whole process to play itself out (whether it be establishing a new friendship with someone you just met or climbing your way to the Hall of Fame). Celebrating and embracing each moment without ever looking back is how you'd prefer to live your life. To you, analyzing your deepest regrets and perhaps your deepest, darkest secrets is just a HUGGGGE waste of time and therefore you NEVER bother.  You'd rather put yourself out there while the challenge is still hottttt.  In most circumstances, you let your actions speak louder than words.  Even as a risktaker, letting good opportunities pass you by is one risk you're NOT willing to take.  Instead, relying on your intuition in combination with tackling whatever situation comes your way proves more meaningful and rewarding to you in the end.  Unfortunately this can have you not weighing the consequences of your actions as you're always on the GO, GO, GO!
 
B) FFWD: Patience just ain't your thing. Anxiousness is. What excites you is looking forward to what the future has to offer. Skipping to the good parts (moments of passion, laughter, smiles, celebration, play, etc.)  or major stumbling blocks (moments of stress, deception, depression, tragedy, danger, etc.) puts your curiosity level in full throttle. In other words, you feel better knowing you have all the facts in front of you in order to be prepared for just about any future scenario you encounter.  If you think you see a good thing coming, you dart for it, without really giving yourself the chance to look at the other factors involved.  All you know about what little you did catch a glimpse of is that it looks promising.  If a confrontation should arouse some uncalled for excitement, your first reaction will not result in you running away from it but facing it head-on now that you have the confidence in knowing what you're up against. You think that if you can somehow tap into your hidden, psychic intuition by foreseeing the future you will undoubtebly be able to work your life out to perfection or that nothing on this earth could possibly phase you.  But realistically speaking, you can never predict what your decisions or certain circumstances will entail (especially when you ignore all the lil' details that count along the way).  All you can be is HOPEFUL in that catching a glimpse of the future will enable you to choose the right path for a brighter tomorrow.
 
C) REWIND:  A person who has an urge to rewind can only be one of two things: a dweller who finds it hard to distinguish between what was and what is, and a softee who remembers certain moments of the past with fond memories. As past experiences have taught us dwellers, obsessing over where we went wrong prevents us from moving forward. All we can do if we rewind is learn from the mistakes we've made to improve on who we will eventually become.  As for us softees, we tend to look at those who have enriched our lives and the lives of people we've enriched. Beyond that, we also see how much we've expanded ourselves as individuals, what we have contributed to the world in which we live and how many of our small victories made many successes happen. 
 
D) STOP:  "Whoa...slow down," you say. "I need time to process what's really going on here!!!!  My brain can only handle so much at once!!  Before I do something stupid and that I'll probably regret, let me rationalize this through first.  Let me come back to this later."  What does this all translate to?  You have killer instincts of course!!  You have a natural gift to proceed with caution in order to make the right decision, even though temptations are running high.  Relying on your powerful inner voice is your main strength.  Your incredible focus and determination to listen to your intuition allows you to make many wise decisions. 
 
E) PAUSE: Similiar to STOP mode, a person has the capability to use their killer instincts to prevent something devastating from occuring.  The only difference is, instead of coming back to reevaluate the situation at hand, the person can freeze the action to see what's really right in front of them.  In doing so, they are exposed to the much broader picture rather than blinded towards the underlying truths.
 
F) EJECT:  If you want to put an end to someone mistreating you or drop a bad habit cold turkey, what better way to eliminate this negative aspect from your life than to eject it?  Not only does it have you stand up for what you truly believe in, but in turn it has you gain more self-respect.  Remember, addiction=weakness.  A disgustttttting combo.
 
G) ERASE:  Lastly, if you can't help but hate the turnout of the video (AKA as your life) and can't find any way to resolve your hurt, anger, frustration, etc., then just start with a clean slate.  Try to leave the past in the past, and shift your attention to pressing forward with what's to be dealt with in the present and the future.  It'll do you good to trade that negative frame of mind with an open heart and mind, in addition to a fresh perspective on life.
 
As for what I think??  Personally, although right now I'm probably living a cautionary tale (or choice D), I'd rather live for choice A because I think outgoing, carefree and risktaking is the person I see myself proud of.  Living a little bit on the edge, as I have recently come to realize, is not the most healthy route.  What is healthy is appreciating the moments that do count, acknowledging those that mean so much to us, living our ups to the fullest and accepting our downfalls without any complaints.  That's how I'd like to be remembered in the eyes of those who know me.

Now it's your turn to tell me what legacy you'd like to leave behind by selecting one of the above choices. To recap on what these choices are, here they are in brief style: A) Serious risktaker  B) Ahead of my game but too anxious to sit still  C) Dweller or Softee who likes a blast from the past  D) Winner of killer instincts and amazing ability to proceed with caution  E) Someone who is not usually blinded and can see bigger picture  F) Someone who is true to self and has the ability to stand up to what they believe in  G) A clean slate and starting life from a fresh perspective is what this persons thrives on. 
 
I'm looking forward to hearing your interesting responses! 
 
Ahhh...if only life were like a brand, spanking new video tape, there's no doubt we'd choose all of the above to have time work in our favours.

To Zorro (the one that puts all other fencers to shame),
 
You're absolutely right about the part about mistakes. I'm so glad you picked up on the fact that mistakes are life's indicators of what we should change and do differently (I can now see how erase mode in this case may not work best as it implies we try to forget about the past).  It's one thing to understand that we must learn from our mistakes to do better for ourselves, but another if we choose to follow it. Ignoring our past probably means we're not giving our present and future as much consideration as we should.  For it is our past that helps shape what is to happen to us furthur down the road. Nonetheless, even if we were to place ourselves in "erase", there's no harm in allowing ourselves to start off with a clean slate and look at life with a more open mind. To me it doesn't necessarily mean we forget the past (even though it may imply it), but that we try to come to terms with it by taking the cool, calm and collective approach instead. What I was trying to say, but maybe it didn't come across as clearly as I thought, is that instead of dwelling on the past, look forward to what the present and the future has to offer. Perhaps if we were to use this in combination with what we've learned from our mistakes, we can somehow strike that balance we're seeking. It may not work for some people, but for others it works like a charm.

 Hey Morgan!
 
Thanks for the inspirational blog.  Not only is it a great read, but it was also interesting to see what I would classify myself as.  I would probably have to say that I am a combination of options D & F. Looking at the other options though, I would not be tempted to choose any of the others for a permanent change (only temporarily).  They all sound scary, implying that life is some uncontrolable sea fo tides that can drown us if we are not careful (I probably would resort to the eject button if my life ever came to the other scenarios).  I like the way my life currently is, and would not want to erase anything!  If I did erase it what would be the point?  What is wrong with a few mistakes here and there? (Not that you should be making them all the time if they could be avoided).  I find mistakes are great pointers in that they teach you life's most valuable lessons.  I know that may sound cliche, but it is true.  Without mistakes we learn no lessons, without lessons there is no purpose, and without purpose you have no life (in general).  So I would have to say overall that life is in itself a very long journey that should maybe have all of the flashy buttons that a remote would have.  Just as long as they were given with deep consideration and thought.  A little bit of wildness is not so bad. Afterall, like I said before, life is lived through our experiences not through the click of some button.
     Anyways, I would like to say as a good friend that you should consider going through all the buttons presented (except the erase button and maybe a little less of option A yah? You wild thing you!).  I love that you are posting all these new blogs.  Keep up the great work!

Interesting response Erica. And without a doubt am I very glad that you decided to pose a couple questions in regards to this blog entry as well (what an excellent way for me to post my feedback on this blog  in order to answer this complex question for not just you, but for many, many others who have probably asked themselves the same thing).  Now getting back to how does someone go about attaining these states of mind. Well it really depends which states of mind you're talking about. If it's in regards to setting ourselves in "play mode", than I think pushing ourselves, I mean REALLLLLLY pushing ourselves to participate in activities we usually wouldn't take the time to do is the best solution. Whether this be signing up to become a new club member, approaching a new person and striking a conversation with them, or going way out of your way to do special things for the ones that count the most, disciplining ourselves this way will have us more appreciative and understanding of the world in which we live. Not to mention how proud we'll be in seeing how our sincerity to open our hearts to others and live life to the fullest has enriched everyone connected to us. More importantly, how it has enriched our lives more by finally being in touch with our true selves (I say more importantly to ourselves because in order to shed our genuine love for others, we must have a genuine love for ourselves). "Erase mode" on the other hand, would probably require you to go on the Dr. Phil show (kidding, kidding). This is probably the hardest state of mind to snap out of so a person would have to be willing to work on transferring their negative energy to something positive quite a bit (uh oh, that means for us dwellers especially)! So I'd say the best way to probably achieve this would be to immerse yourself in something you most enjoy to initially eliminate such ruthless thoughts (even if you have to force yourself to). After you've had enough pampering to "eat your feelings" sorta speak, ensure you devote your attention to something productive to keep your mind from obsessing on what cannot be redone.   I'm not saying doing this overnight cause realistically speaking that is NEVER going to happen. Just give yourself a time frame to resolve your emotions like I've mentioned before. And remember, spoiling yourself for obsessive/compulsive behaviour (not to imply you have a disorder or anything :P) cannot last FOREVER. Unfortunately, it's only a temporary solution to deal with these emotions so make sure you get involved in activities/events/other occasions that make you feel more useful and self-fulfilled as a human being. The more you practice and embrace the steps that’ll get you there, the easier, the more empowering and more beneficial it becomes. Help somewhat??  I hope so.

 

P.S. You'll oggle that sexy aussie boy for the both of us??  Ooh.…I'm so excited now. You better not be saying that just to get my hopes up caussssse...I'll definitely be holding you to it :P

Well I'm definitely a dweller, but I'd rather live my life in "erase." That way I could stop dwelling on my mistakes and look at the bigger picture. The "play" option also sounds good...I'd love to be more motivated and to have the drive to totally tackle my life so that I could get as much as possible out of it...so I'll have to say both "play" and "erase." But how does someone go about attaining these states of mind? Any ideas?
 
P.S. Thanks for the comment on my blog...hehe yeah that aussie is pretty damn fine...I'll oggle him enough for the both of us.
