September 25th, 2007: Thoughts for the day (2)

Chillen's free thoughts:



We have to master our own thoughts; the brain can sometimes be like a court room: with a defense attorney, prosecution attorney, Jury, and Judge, all presiding in session.

What is at stake: Death by lethal injection, Life sentence, a prison term with a fine, or being set free.

This is interesting when one looks at this hypothetical brain set up analytically


Here is the hypothetical setup:

Issues on trial: All inner thoughts and emotions and outside stimulus brought to the court room (the brain).

The defense is the the one defending the action and/or inaction

The proscecutor is the one wanting to prosecute you for the action or inaction

The judge (like a counscious) is the one that determines if the defense or prosecution are full of Sh@t, and passes some decisions to keep the integrity flowing.

If a deal cannot be made between the defense and prosecutor it goes to the Jury for the decision, and this can lead to: guilty or not guilty, and then the judge decides the sentence if guilty, which can lead to: Death by lethal injection, Life sentence, a prison term.


If a deal is reached between the prosecutor and defense attorney, the disposition depends on the issue that was dealt which can lead to: Life sentence, a prison term, or being set free.


Without going further, how does this hypothetical set up apply to our lives within diet and training: when we dont want to train, thinking we dont have time to train, but not really making the time, and so on and so forth, cheat on our diets, have low self esteem, or self worth, or other types of issues?

When working this out.....all pieces of the court room have to be in play.

A joke for the day:

The Pepsi Theory

Heres the setup: a divorced couple is fighting for the rights to their kids. The dad presents his own unique theory.
A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court.

But the custody of their children posed a problem.

The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.

The man also wanted custody of his children.

The judge asked for his side of the story too. After a long moment of silence, the man rose from the chair and replied:

"Judge, when I put a dollar into a vending machine, and a Pepsi comes out, does the Pepsi belong to me or to the machine?"
 
Good Afternoon Forum Brotha and Sista's

I have an announcement.

I have asked another forum member to post in the ChillOut Log September 27th, 2007.

His undying enthusiasm, bright attitude, and postive outlook on life for a young man his age, is to be admired. In short, I respect this young man.

Im not gonna tell you who it is.......... :)
 
I would like one or two of you to tackle my court room hypothetical......

Okay?!


ROCK ON!...........Each and everyone one of you.

I care about all of you and whether you progress or regress in the personal goals you seek..........

Regular bulk

I have been thinking on doing a "regular bulk", and bulk up to about 175 (5"7"), and then reverting back to the point my abs are as defined as they are now, for about a net of 10 lbs. Winter is coming and this would be a good time. 10lbs would make nearly a monster (and defined to boot) on my small height.

any thoughts? PB, FF, CCR, Phil, Der, AMP, Karky, Dave, Will, and others?
 
27th September

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I was delighted to have been asked if I could post something on Chillen's famous log today, and naturally I accepted, so here I am...

When thinking about what to write today, I realised that I didn't have one set idea, or at least one which Chillen hadn't already written about, so I've decided to go with the flow. Who knows? I may even decide to include this in my post :)

Something I think everybody has a problem with in their lives at some point is... believing in themselves. When you walk along a road, sit on a train, or are in a school/working environment you can sometimes start to look at other peoples definitive qualities and wish that you had them. You could stand there for 10 minutes, watching and deep down thinking 'How could I be like them'. I used to get this sometimes when I was younger. It wasn't really jealousy, no... It was something else. Envy? Maybe.. But one things for sure, 99% of the time it doesn't get you anywhere, except maybe, a shallow, twisted view of how you wish to be.

So looking further into detail, why is this bad? Why shouldn't you do this?
Well, firstly I would like to make this very clear - There is a huge difference between admiring a person, and being jealous of a person.

Lets start by looking at the definition of each word according to thefreedictionary(dot)com:

To admire is to: have a high opinion of; esteem or respect.
To be jealous is to: Having to do with or arising from feelings of envy, apprehension, or bitterness

The reasons for low self esteem can be quite simple, it could just be some comments some people have made to you, or just comments they haven't. It could also be something bigger, such as deep depression for whatever reason, or just general lack of self belief in anything you do.

Now, when you stop, and look at a person, say some tall, dark haired, handsome fella, with great teeth and a trophy girlfriend, and think to yourself 'why can't I be like that', you have to remember something very big... You have NO idea of how he feels inside, heck quite often you don't even know anything about the guy or girl. For all you know that girl with him could be his sister, he could have no toes, or worse ;) and could generally be on the borderline of depression. The person could also have an IQ of a dead fly, the personality of a door frame and a pile of debts to go with it. Basically you have no idea about anything but their LOOKS. Time and time again girls at school get upset about how they look, or how other people have better lives than them. If you look behind the scenes you can see the bigger picture.

Some people are generally happy, but some people have taught themselves through past lessons and experiences to accept who they are, and work on their own qualities, gaining confidence and inspiration from other people. Not looking at Miss USA and thinking 'OMG she is so hot', because quite frankly everybody is different, and everybody has their own qualities, we are unique. And anybody of any age, size or race should know this. You can't get anything out of looking at a person, don't think about it, be about it. Good qualities are established by people who have grown them from tiny seeds in the ground, not from picking off another persons tree. If somebody wants to say you have a fault, let them. Because so do they, and if you try to become them, then you'll just create more faults in your own person.


And on that note I would like to say again, thank you to Chillen for giving me the honour of writing this, and also thank you all for reading it. Some quotes are written below...


To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. ~Raymond Hull

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland

Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. ~Homer


If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise. ~Johann von Goethe


Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. ~Benjamin Disraeli

There is just one life for each of us: our own. ~Euripides


Thank you all.

heyyyy woodt..nice post my friend. i enjoyed it greatly.
very sweet and packed with insight.
nice bro! +rep for the wise post

heyyy chillen! today was great! i feel good today because i think i did good on my math test(i need to bring my grade up at all costs) and i have tomorrow off school.
everything is flowing very smoothly and leisurely.

except my mom is really mad at me for my progress report.
it says F for pre calc, D for gym(teacher is screwing me over...i have no idea why its so low), and she is mad for me getting a C in APUSH(college class)

i havent been slacking off at all...i am being unfairly misgraded in gym, and i am proud of my C in APUSH.
math...i just am doing terrible in because of several "unlucky" occurances, plus the fact that i am terrible at math.

but i assured her that i am doing my best to improve my grades. the thing is, she doesnt believe me and she has grounded me for the week.
i have gotten excellent grades every past year so i dont know why she distrusts me when i said im going to bring up grades.
grounding me for the week wont make my grades go up, so i dont understand her punishment.
i dont have any homework...i did it
i am already doing my best to bring my grades up despite her punishment(she told me today)
so i couldnt go to homecoming football game or my friends house tomorrow...
she is just being...i will conceal my anger.

i am thinking of getting ajob so i can work a couple hours a week and earn some money and use time wisely.

when can we get on yahoo?
