How To Locate Missing Things

This is the procedure I go through when I can't find something:

1. Pinpoint the time you are 100% sure you last had it.

2. Recall the flow of events & your state of mind from that point onwards.

3. Locate the places where they occurred.

4. Mentally reconstruct your conscious from that point onwards, using the above information.

5. Take note of any probable weak spots.

6. Investigate those weak spots, either logically or by asking around, or by going there bodily and searching the floors:D

It may seem quite daunting but I assure you it isn't because all of that is already in your head, you just have to summon it forth. I resort to the method quite frequently because I'm such a scatterbrain! X(

Dummies Guide To A Fulfilling Life

(a.k.a. my personal Principles of Being)

To lead a fulfilling life, you simply have to understand that

  • 1. YOU ARE UNIQUE
  • 2. YOU ARE UNIQUE FOR A PURPOSE
  • 3. YOU ARE ABLE TO FULFIL THAT PURPOSE
  • 4. YOU WILL FULFIL THAT PURPOSE

(Please note that you may not necessarily know what that purpose is - I often use the analogy of "a candle in the dark" - your path will be revealed to you as you follow it.)

Contemplate those words until every single atom in your body nods in belief. You will then begin to see the world in a new light, go on to accomplish the unthinkable and live a life bursting with richness. (But not necessarily "riches"!)

I have lived by them and proven it to be true.

(The above is just my tuppence worth - feel free to take it if you're out of change:])
