Everything Exists

ByMatthew

You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn’t correct. We all start with all there is, it’s how we use it that makes things possible. – Henry Ford

I love the reminder this quote offers.

In considering this idea, remember that energy – which is what everything is – cannot be created or destroyed, only changed into different forms.

So everything we need exists, possibly in a form we wouldn’t prefer.

We must work to create what we want by transforming that which is into that which we desire.

Just as there is no desire you can authentically hold that you can’t actually create, everything you need exists (in some form or another).

Today’s post is a “bonus” post to get us up to 405 (there was no post due to a holiday and I wanted to resume the order of each week’s total ending with a “0” or a “5”).

    When you’re going somewhere you’ve never been to, what do you do? Do you just wing it? Do you just start driving and figure it’ll all work out? Of course not, but that’s what so many people do with their lives. Sure, they might have a vague plan, likely a mash-up of family and social…

  • Why We Get Side-Tracked

    ByMatthew

    This Friday’s external resource is not a TED Talk, but instead from Harvard Business School’s Working Knowledge blog. In a very interesting post Francesca Gino talks about how and why we get side-tracked. Why, despite out best efforts, we don’t follow though as we plan, or sometimes, not at all.
