Question of the Day 10/22/09:
“It’s been said “You are what you think.” What “are” you?”
“A man is what he thinks all day long.” – Emerson
What are you?
My answer is a combination of my things I have a passion for: beach, music, books, film, technology (specifically mobile and web), and food.
What about you?
What “are” you?
~ Happy Aloha Friday Weekend ~
I think about dreaming, sharing, serving, connecting, family, friends, music, passion, food, singing, dancing.
I would like to add to the quote by saying that a person is what they DO all day long. Thinking is one thing but action is very powerful! I need to work on the action part.
Niiice!
Yes, however realistically, we know we can’t think of the same things all day long (because we’re “doing”), so what do we think a lot, I believe suffices.
I need to see your dance skills, and hear more of your singing repertoire beyond Madonna’s Like a Virgin, heh!
‘Ummm seems to be a pattern here, eat by day, beach by afternoon, twitter by twilight. Well I being I, am still hungry with those food topics, yum. Oh yea, big Aloha thanks for going back to the Beach, Traci. I was wondering how in the world you could stay away? I get the reach the beach fix from your camera’s eye especially if it’s cold, windy and raining on this side of my internet high wire. Clearly, Spanky and the General welcome your footprints in the sand when you can settle your mind by the surf and (here it comes, wait for it…) feel the breeze
“A man is what he thinks all day long.” – Emerson
That Emerson fellow was such a deep thinker, yea. You know one big problem’O in our fast moving world if you don’t work for a think tank, aha, many don’t get enough time to swim in our own proper thoughts. We got far too many things to do that get in the way of our mental health.
I sometimes need time to sort things out when issues pile up. And life’s big wave kicks me to the swirling bottom in the falling soggy sand. It makes a difference to do some mental accounting and take a fresh breath of clean air to stay on track and retain life’s focus.
I think it is a very good idea to think each day and reflect on and dream what is good and keep a positive spirit, reduce negative thoughts and be thankful for what you are and what you have achieved. What you will achieve in this thing called life. Sounds simple until you face another day in a future chocked full of uncertainty and conflicting schedules in time with all those other zoologists out there competing in the what’s it called? Oh, rat-race… lol.
It would be funny to realize when one is born, if we all had a time limit. Doctor says to woman. You got 15 minutes to deliver your little package, as the baby cries … Waz your hurry Doc? Hang-loose I’ll be out once I catch this tasty barrel… hahaha!
Hopefully, we can retain some certainty to rest assured. It is what it is when it is, so take those moments to realize your happiness…
Queensryche – I Am I
Beating with life you promised life,
Security, happiness.
Unfortunate son cornered,
Cowering in the pit of
Circling panes of glass that
Surround and reveal the ever present it.
It is my move, my every look,
Interpreting gestures,
Informing other
Whats undercover and
Lurking beneath my mask
Of this years featured model.
Is this too much?
Close your eyes.
Care to look inside? I am I!
What may appear
Might easily be explained,
But given the situation
Of info saturation,
What you feel can never go away.
Steering perception? I am I!
Inviting contradiction? I am I!
Its my insistence
You keep your distance
From the glare behind my stare.
So this is the way
The game is played.
You can leave now…
But I think youll stay. I am I!
