It is always a pleasure reading your posts Bud. You are young, but incredibly wise. I especially love this line, “Realize that when you throw yourself a pity party you’re blocking abundance.”

Ouch! As of now I’m in the middle of my pity party where I’m despondently mired in negativity. Good thing I’ve read this post, I guess I have to leave this party immediately, it has been a poison to my soul.

Hi Bud, super post. Self-Doubt has many friends that always come with him, namely, Fear and Insecurity. They seem to travel in threesome, really, and ALWAYS spoil the party. I agree that crashing that party or breaking it up takes work (it would be nice if it were easier!) but it’s always worth it.

Cheers,
Miche

Encouraging post Bud. I read “hugggeee” and at first I pronounced it “huggies” (like the diaper). Then I realized you meant “huge” as in big. So this post gave me a laugh too as I realized my mistake. Good way to start 2010.

I agree about keeping bad and negative emotions out of the door, a party should always be fun, not a constriction.

Yeah, you definitely shouldn’t be going to that kind of party.

I find that if I approach bad situations Stoically – embrace them, in fact, as learning experiences! – the pity parties are a lot less likely to materialize.

It’s kind of strange..when something really bad happens these days, I find myself laughing immediately and reflexively. It’s almost like I’ve responded positively to enough badness that my physical response is one that acknowledges a very important fact: today’s dramas are tomorrow’s comedies.

What is so vital and sad now will just be another story tomorrow. This too shall pass, as the kids say (I don’t actually know any kids who say that..I just like to say ‘as the kids say’).

Here’s to more parties of the fun/dancy/naked Twister variety in 2010, and fewer that involve music by Bright Eyes and dark eye makeup!

I can resonate with everything you’ve written. We all go through the same phases, but it feels like we’re the only ones going through them. Nicely paradoxical.

I think you’re right on that emotions have the power you give them. A lot of people don’t know that allowing the fear and bad emotions into your body is what makes them go away. The resistance is what keeps them there. Allow yourself to feel sorry for yourself fully and be completely present.

Bud,

For a young man, you are a very old soul. I’m very impressed by what you have done here. Looking forward to following you. I wonder where you’ll be in 10 years. I have written your name down in my book of reminders to looking up later in life.
