IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (Meaning: My Warped, Personal Opinions and Musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
Something To Ponder - Your Time is "Now"
The ability to think about the past, present, and future is a marvelous capability of the human mind.
But it is largely ignored by the majority of the world's population.
Why?
Because they would rather acquiesce to the surrounding group mindset than to "think about their thinking".
I don't blame them.
Thinking about your own thoughts is not easy and takes quite a bit of introspection. Besides, staring at your reflection in the inner mirror of the mind can be scary.
And I'm pretty sure that most will avoid the task because they fear what they may or may not discover about themselves.
But it's my sincere hope that you fully utilize this profoundly powerful capability of your mind.
It's a wonderful gift from the universe and shouldn't be squandered.
Just like muscles, if you don't exercise this ability, it atrophies and dies.
Then you are doomed to "thought by default" and consequently find yourself falling in line with the rest of the "sheeple" - almost a zombie-like existence.
Be mindful.
Take a little time to think about your thinking. Examine how your thoughts serve (or enslave) you. If they don't serve you, then simply replace them with better thoughts.
At first it won't be easy.
Self-torturing thoughts stubbornly resurface throughout our lives.
Why?
Because "familiar misery" is a seductive haven for more people than "the frightful unknown".
Try it out. Be brave enough to change, to think differently, to think better.
What have you got to lose except for those gnawing thoughts from your periphery?
When practiced for as little as 3-5 minutes daily, consciously checking the quality of your thinking; that is, thinking positive, constructive thoughts, works wonders on your psyche and slowly becomes a habit.
Again, I urge you to invest some time everyday in some form of mindfulness.
I suspect that you will be pleasantly surprised...
Namaste (I recognize the divine in you, my friend).

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
