Be What You Are As I Will Be What I Am

In life, the real losers genuinely want to be someone else that seems to be winning. Recently, I was taking a good look at those places in my life that I need and want to practice what I preach about winning, and found many things in my life that want and need improvement. Although this is going to be a soul bearer, here is this article: Today, I was thinking and feeling envious thoughts about my position in life compared to other people my age and somewhat younger and somewhat older, and realized that "many have it better than I do", yet I realized that "many have it worse than I do", then I realized that both viewpoints are definitely not real, that we are what we genuinely understand we are.

The real mess here is that all points of view outside of myself are wrong, and that the human mind is capable of curing the problems of the human mind through genuine honesty with itself, logic and realistic thinking. Indeed, Dr. Nathaniel Branden, Ph.D. (Birth name: Nathan Blumenthal) had one thing right, objective based self-esteem is the nervous system protection of the mind and mental structure. Here is where I am coming from with all of this I am writing: When you want to be "someone else that is a winner" even for one second or one minute, that is a disease, that is a sickness germ, call it envy, call it jealousy, whatever, it all has the same poison core of unnatural, unrealistic diseased thought.

I had to get rid of that disease within myself fully and realistically once in for all, like an alcoholic (I was an alcoholic too, for a while, by the way, until I realized my Uncle, William Eugene Porter, who I was very close to for better or worse until the time he died in 1995 was an alcoholic, and I had to face facts in life. I do not drink at all anymore by the way.) has a final drink and never touches it again for a second. I started by going over and over in my mind what was good about my reality and focusing on what was worthwhile about my life at a very deep, personal level discarding the unreal and the bad until I got back to an even keel in my soul.

A week ago, I had a debilitating cold virus that felt almost the same as this "envious disease of the mind" only it was physical. It lasted exactly four days and ended just as quick as it came. After this happened, the searching of my soul and spirit started with that feeling of envy, jealousy, and unrealistic thoughts momentarily ending today with the decision to be as happy as I make up my mind to be, whatever the circumstance. So with both my spiritual and physical nervous systems strong, ready to fight, and eager to live, I go forward with existence, life and all of the rest of it in a strong way.

My name is Joshua Clayton, I am a freelance writer based in Inglewood, California. I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
