🌈 1256 –Tuesday, 27 August 2024

London

Just when I felt that familiar wave of aww, that heavy weight of not wanting to do anything, a quote flashed through my mind: “No matter how you feel, get up, get ready, show up, and do the work.” It struck me deeply, reminding me that I couldn’t give in to the inertia. I felt a new wave of reluctance, knowing I had no choice but to rise and face the day.

How many times has this battle played out already? The monkey mind, the inner critic, whispered doubts and fears: “If you don’t do this, you won’t achieve that.” And yet, each time, I found the strength to get up and do what needed to be done, almost without fail. But what is the outcome of this relentless cycle? A lingering feeling of weariness, a sense of being perpetually overwhelmed, and perhaps an undercurrent of constant unease.

Have things changed? Yes, in some ways. A new place, new friends, and new people have come into my life. Yet, despite these changes, the contentment they promised has eluded me. The external shifts haven’t touched the deeper restlessness that remains. The struggle continues, and the search for true peace and fulfillment goes on.

This song is playing in radio,

“Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day, yeah I wanna tell you I love your way, every day, yeah I wanna be with you night and day

The moon appears to shine and light the sky With the help of some fireflies I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine Well, I can see them under the pine..”

and I wonder that too.. how they have power to shine.. what would it take?

I want to break free song by Queen lyrics –

“I want to break free, I want to break free I want to break free from your lies You’re so self-satisfied I don’t need you I’ve got to break free God knows, God knows I want to break free

I’ve fallen in love I’ve fallen in love for the first time This time I know it’s for real I’ve fallen in love, yeah God knows, God knows I’ve fallen in love

It’s strange but it’s true, hey I can’t get over the way you love me like you do

But I have to be sure when I walk out that door Oh, I want to be free, baby Oh, how I want to be free Oh, I want to break free

But life still goes on I can’t get used to living without, living without Living without you by my side I don’t want to live alone, hey God knows, got to make it on my own So, baby, can’t you see I’ve got to break free?

I’ve got to break free I want to break free, yeah

I want, I want, I want I want to break free”

Around the world today what other humans are dealing with –

• Ukraine-Russia War | Ukraine successfully tests it’s frist domestic-made ballistic missile.

• Israel-Hamas War | Hostage rescued from tunnin in southern Gaza.

• A Chinese military aircraft breacing Japanese airspace for the first time on record yesterday underscored rising tensions with America’s regional allies, after recent clashes over disputed waters with the Philippines.

Perhaps it’s the endless reading and writing about the terrible wars raging across the world that has me so disheartened. This is the depth to which humanity has fallen—where nations answer each other with violence, and where one person can turn against another for a mere piece of land they wish to claim as their own. They draw shameless lines in the sand and declare, “This is mine… my country, my city, my people.” Shame on you, humans! We came into this world with nothing, and perhaps that’s exactly how we’ll leave—naked and alone, with nothing to your names.

Goodnight, good luck!
