A Sense of Illness

I intend to dispel the sense of illness that has become a part of my identity. I am well. I will not be defined by my depression or anxiety. I am at peace with myself. 

I do not need to live in fear of life’s natural progression. The future does not yet exist.

I will decide deliberately what action should be taken in order to accomplish my daily objectives, and each day I will be closer to accomplishing my super-objective of promoting progress on a social and individual level.

My life is something to share with those I meet, as my experience is valuable and transferrable. All experience in life is valuable. Individual interpretation is art.

I dispel the dismissive approach I have taken with others and myself. My opinions and experiences are unique, but I cannot allow that knowledge to discredit the validity of the opinions and experiences of those around me.

I welcome the opportunity to listen, as the subject of conversation may be informative, enlightening, and subsequently serve as the subject of meditation. I welcome open discussion. Passion and honesty do not excuse disrespectful or impolite conversation.

I accept and intend to exude love, respect, passion, honesty, and competence in all communication. I take it upon myself to learn from the people I meet. I intend to constantly and earnestly question myself and others in order to better understand consciousness, society, and the beauty of temporary, secular, existence.
