I design and build websites, I write things in English and computer-speak and I'm an all-round good egg.
James Burns's insight:
"The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you’re detracting from them because all your efforts are focussed on making them look attractive to other people. Your experience of something, even if similar to the experience of many others, is unique and cannot be reproduced within the constraints of social media. So internalise that experience instead. Think about it. Go home and think about it some more. Write about it in more than 140 characters; on paper even. Paint a picture of it. Talk about it face to face with your friends. Talk about how it made you feel." Delete the scoop?

We all have complex personal narratives about why we are the way that we are, why we do the things that we do, why other people are the way that they are, and so forth. It is natural to create an internal narrative about our lives. When our stories are coherent, integrated, and based upon a core belief in our own self-worth, our life narratives allow for greater flexibility, optimism, and motivation for growth. It is when our stories become rigid, self-defeating, lack cohesion, and are filled with negative beliefs about our self-worth and self-efficacy that they can become disabling.

Concentration, meditation, and learning to direct the mind according to your own will, prove that you are not your mind. Can the mind control itself, or does it need some higher power to control it? This leads you to realize that you are separate from the mind, otherwise how can you master it? It is you, the real you that is directing the mind. The ability to focus the mind or stop its activities in accordance with your willpower awakens the understanding that you are not your mind, and this is a great step toward self-realization.
