Freewrite creative writing : Reflections
There’s a moment in life when you feel have I made the right decision? Am I on the right path? Sometimes you doubt your decisions, was it right to decide that? What if I was wrong? Then the inner voice of me reminds me that, your journey on earth isn't about winning and being right all the time. That would be so boring if so. The sole purpose of coming back to earth is to learn. Learning means you get to make mistakes along the way and learn from it. Or you can be smart by learning from others' mistakes and see how you can put that into your own life path version. The sole purpose to life is to learn, to experience and make mistakes along the way and grow from them and be a better version of yourself from the person you are yesterday. If you have made some mistake, be aware of it, analyse the failure and strategize so you don’t fall into the same mistake and failure and also trap over and over again. Be aware and mindful always. Trust your feelings as it is your life compass. Your rational brain only to make you survive, your feelings will guide you to your intended specific life purpose. Whenever you feel this way again in future, please come back and reflect like this again so you are aware and get back up, move on and learn and experience what life has to give you. Keep it on, bring it on!
Most important of all you have got all the skills that you have now under your sleeves and you may trade those skills for other things or knowledge that you don’t have once you are on the other side that don't have currency as on earth to exchange what you want and what the others need from you.
First of all, thank you for this beautiful post. The picture itself was worth the price of admission -- or it would've been, had there been a price. Those are the kinds of photos I try to capture too.
This line:
I like this a lot. I think about feelings in a very similar way. I usually use the word "index" or "indicator" - to describe how feelings operate to suggest if things are going 'right' or 'wrong' according to shall-we-say "standards" that are outside of your or my rational description of reality. That all gets a little thick, and I think for you to say "compass" is a very accessible metaphor. And I like it. Maybe we are saying the same thing in two different ways?
Then you go a little farther:
Now, I'm not trying to be disagreeable or disrespectful to you, but I do actually believe you got it flipped.
In my opinion, our rational minds are here to navigate and negotiate things like "meaning in life" and to help us find and stick to "our life's purpose." Things like "meaning" and "purpose", while ephemeral and evanescent, are still constructs of rationality.
Death, and life, on the other hand are far more mysterious.
I think it is our feelings that steer us away from death as we walk this world that is simultaneously a mundane world and a world of spirits.
And I will finish by suggesting that perchance the line between "meaningful purposeful living" and "basic survival" is not so clear-cut as we may-or-may-not like to think, perchance just a line in the sand....
Waiting for the tides to rise......
I hope you enjoy and are not bothered by my long-winded engagement with your text.
Thanks again for sharing.
Hi, thank you for your long comment I appreciate it especially with all those beautiful and rare words that you were using. I still stand on my statement about the brain objective mind that only serves as my survival compass and my heart/feeling/intuition serves as my guide and other things that I should be doing in this lifetime.
Maybe we have it flipped in our own version, but I believe in this and I have seen it happen over and over again that I aware that it should be that way in my own life version. Thanks again for passing by hope you have great day ahead and keep growing!
Hi, and thank you for your many kind words. I am very pleased that you have stood your ground on your beliefs. I believe strongly in differences, including in the spheres of things like writing and ideas. I believe strongly in treating other thoughtful folk like yourself with respect. I wasn't trying to throw shade on your ideas. I was just trying to elucidate my perspectives more clearly, and I found that the difference between how I look at that 'formula' and you do was the perfect lens for that.
I hope that we can both agree that there is value in greater longerform discourse like this. Which is another way of saying, I hope I am not being rude by replying to your reply.
Thank you for your blessing.

There's an awful lot of good stuff in this little post.
Feelings first! We think too much, I really believe this. When we question our gut feelings, we make bad choices. Don't think, act. My newest motto. I'm getting much more done, and, so far, have not made any terrible mistakes. Unlike back when I belabored "should I do this or should I do that?" Hindsight always showed that I should have followed my gut.
My superpower is that I am not afraid to make an ass of myself. That's how to learn the most. Totally fail! Look ridiculous! There's no better way to avoid making those mistakes again. Of course, there's also no guarantee you won't make an ass of yourself again.
Nice musings.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for sharing your own version and experience on these 🤗
Maybe this has become your thing, I didn't realize it. It feels refreshed to read this kind of idea that come from you.
I sometimes make a post to remind myself what I believe now as to not let me too distracted with what around. My feelings and thoughts.
Sometimes they made me feel more vulnerable though. 😅
I'm actually trying to digest and comprehend what's going inside me 😄
I thought as much. 🤣🤣 Please take care of yourself and your little munchkins. ❤️
When i've read the first phrases, i've thought that you'll express your thoughts on your decision regarding the choice of remaining within this platform :)
Good post @cryptokannon about reflecting on some of your past decisions, and, we know that no matter if you, as human, are active or not, especially now, through these times we are passing, your life must be a creation of you, the genuine artist within the Matrix of you Life ...
In rest, maybe sometimes, we think too much and we try to slice the hair like it would be a pizza ...
Let's enjoy this Life, if we can call it this way anymore :)
Wish you all the best @cryptokannon
Regards
How could I leave steem community? 🥺I'll always be here just not that active as before as I have other things that occupy my time and energy more. Thank you for sharing your insights on life too! 😊
I can relate to this post. All our mistakes in the past should be a lesson to learn. As they say “ Our experiences in life is our best teacher”Let not those wrong decisions stop us from being a good person at present. 😊
I absolutely agree with this mam. Sometimes we feel no way to go and no one to cry on...
Thank you @cryptokannon for this wonderful realizations of yours. It made me think, reflect and assess my lifes decisions. Hope to read more from you.. Thank you..

Thank you so much for this beautiful reflection @cryptokannon 🧡🧡🧡 It is a beautiful reminder that indeed, in this lifetime we make many mistakes, experience many failures. And amazingly, all of these will give us valuable lessons that we should carry with us everyday to guide us from making the same mistakes. Our hearts make us feel and our heads help us know what to do to truly fulfill our life's purpose.
