Getting Things Right

The steamer which crossed the Pacific from Yokohama to San Francisco made a direct connection with that from Hong Kong, and it could not sail until the latter reached Yokohama; and if Mr. Fogg was twenty-four hours late on reaching Yokohama, this time would no doubt be easily regained in the voyage of twenty-two days across the Pacific. He found himself, then, about twenty-four hours behind-hand, thirty-five days after leaving London.

The Carnatic was announced to leave Hong Kong at five the next morning. Mr. Fogg had sixteen hours in which to attend to his business there, which was to deposit Aouda safely with her wealthy relative.

On landing, he conducted her to a palanquin, in which they repaired to the Club Hotel. A room was engaged for the young woman, and Mr. Fogg, after seeing that she wanted for nothing, set out in search of her cousin Jeejeeh. He instructed Passepartout to remain at the hotel until his return, that Aouda might not be left entirely alone.

Mr. Fogg repaired to the Exchange, where, he did not doubt, every one would know so wealthy and considerable a personage as the Parsee merchant. Meeting a broker, he made the inquiry, to learn that Jeejeeh had left China two years before, and, retiring from business with an immense fortune, had taken up his residence in Europe—in Holland the broker thought, with the merchants of which country he had principally traded. Phileas Fogg returned to the hotel, begged a moment’s conversation with Aouda, and without more ado, apprised her that Jeejeeh was no longer at Hong Kong, but probably in Holland.

Stay close with the ones you love. Be trustworthy too and feel the magic.

No actual cookies were harmed in the making of this theoretical example. Obviously, in reality, you would gather up every crumb of that cookie and eat it (while contacting the closeness of death and the wonders of life in that moment).

Closure smosure. We have experiences that are pain Closure smosure. We have experiences that are painful. We can touch that pain, be honest about it. It can be painful and we can do things in the present that matter to us. It can be painful and we can make choices in the present that align with what we value, that create and build the things we want to see in the world.

You don't wait to feel strong before lifting weigh You don't wait to feel strong before lifting weights. The strength comes after, and even then, you'll just keep on pursuing more exercises that make you feel weak, that make you sweat and gasp for breath. You go towards the difficult experience. You fuel that and support that. So why would you take the opposite approach with emotions?

If I’m trying to be optimistic that good things If I’m trying to be optimistic that good things will happen, I’ve actually thrown away any power I have. I’ll need things I don’t control to magically turn out in my favor. It’s a lottery mentality.

So I bring power back to me. I’m optimistic that I will learn and build skills to handle the dumpster fire in a shit storm that is this world. I will practice skills and nourish my needs so I’m prepared for whatever happens. I want challenging situations that don’t go “right” so I can learn to handle them. I’m optimistic about my capacity to try new things, to discover limits, to enforce boundaries, and make difficult changes that help me thrive in any situation.

It is so useful to recognize how seemingly "normal It is so useful to recognize how seemingly "normal" checking and controlling fuels the symptoms we hate. If you're struggling with things like derealization / depersonalization, or fears around sexuality, losing your mind, developing psychosis, and anything else that involves losing control of you and your identity, look broadly at how you interact with uncertainty in your life. The brain is simply being logical. If I react to uncertainty about a door lock, or an email, how can I not react to an uncertainty about my existence?! The time we spend on uncertainties that don't trouble us much is what causes the uncertainties that do trouble us.
