I get irritable sometimes, so it’s a work of grace to drag me out of that when I get there and need to consider those things. Even the mechanics of things can make me appreciate the admirable. Take blogging, for example. It’s something that I’ve been doing for nearly two decades. I appreciate that in […]
Read More JJ 24 #27: When I Get IrritableYeah, it’s all well and good getting it in hindsight. Sure it might be fun to get some foresight. Those views, however, aren’t as much fun as getting an insight. It’s such a privilege to engage with people in life and gain an insight on matters that improve your outlook. Thank God for the vision, […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: When You Get To SeeYou have a choice about what you think and how you think about it. Your perspective can be in terms of how bad things are, how bad things have been and how much worse it can get. That option is open to you. You can also think about what good is available, what positives you […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: Think About ItThe idea is to start with the understanding that you have immense ability. For that understanding to be embedded you have to appreciate the power of your thoughts. If you concentrate enough on a thought, what you can do with it can be instructive. It’s not to say that the power of thought achieves anything […]
Read More Who Rules? What To Do With Thought?They say it’s harmless. They say there’s nothing to it. It’s just a bit of fun they say. That works for them. Apparently ignorance is bliss, so what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Meanwhile that which they entertain makes subtle incisions into the mindset. Perhaps some things that were clearly unacceptable appear to be […]
Read More What You’re EntertainingI don’t think there’s much wrong in being honest about motivation. Why do you stay married? Why do you go to that church? Why are working in that job? Why do you support that football team? Not much wrong in being honest and saying you don’t know why you’re still married, you think it’s love […]
Read More Not Much Wrong In Being Honest About MotivationsSome people believe it’s down to them acting on impulse. They hear someone say something and they immediate react. Sometimes that reaction has negative consequences and those people say they acted without thinking. When delivering sessions, I’ll often ask a question and see how quickly respond to the question. It tends to be those who […]
Read More Think Then ActSome things are not helping at all. When I am in a tough spot many thoughts swirl in my head. Some swirl down the plughole, some swirl round the sink of the mind leaving the impression it’s here for the long haul. One that often makes itself known in my cranium is that quandary – […]
Read More Solid September Sale: Sacking The “Why Me, Lord” SyndromeNothing much for this time of evening. It’s another blessed Sabbath evening. Most of the family are asleep and I’ll be heading that way in the not too distant future. I was considering thought what it is about the Sabbath as a communal celebration that should make it something to eagerly await and embrace. I’m […]
Read More Just Some Sabbath ReflectionsI was having a laugh at my sister’s text message today. She was saying how proud we Drydens are of being so humble! My sister is funny and that humour has been a source of much comfort and humour in our time growing up and when things aren’t always working out, it’s brilliant to have […]
