Slay
A buddy of mine recently made me a copy of a cd of this guy named Eckhart Tolle. He's German, but he resides in the States at the moment. Essentially he's nothing different from the rest of them. Focus on the here and now, not the future or past. Do what you want to do, not what people tell you to do. Love thy neighbour. It's all there pretty much.
Anyway, I had nothing to do yesterday. I slept in until about 12 o'clock. But by the time it was 1 o'clock I had about 16 things to do. I discovered I needed to repaint some walls in my apartment, I needed really needed some decorations to liven things up. So I went to Ikea got what I needed, and drove back home. Just as I was about to start painting, I decided to put on the Eckhart Tolle cd, because my friend told me 'it was some good shit' (his way of telling me that Tolle has a point). So I put it in my cd-player and listened. More and more I began to realise that what I was doing was ridiculous. I had planned to just have a mellow Saturday, but instead I winded up in a blue overall covered in paint. Why was painting my walls so important to me. I immediately decided to stop with what I was doing. I called this Libanese restaurant which I walk past when I go to work. I always thought of eating there, I just never did. Something had always stopped me, as if I was afraid of doing something new. Anyway, I made a reservation for one, something else I'd normally never do. Going out to eat alone, I somehow always thought that was something 'friendless people do', but Eckhart had inspired me. This whole ordeal led to me making an important decision in my life, which I'll probably tell you about in the near future.
Anyway, I was kinda wondering if anybody has ever had a similar experience in their lives, or, if I'm just an idiot who's filling someone else his pockets.
