This blog, Probaway – Life Hacks ~ Many helpful hints on living your life more successfully, now has 4,123 posts and 1,970,621 views. The intent has been to achieve the living of a complete life. There has been a multitude of different trails pursued but always there has been the attempt to open the doors of perception, to pull aside the obscuring veils hiding facts, to reach deep into the fogs obscuring knowledge, to probe the chaos-riddled depths of wisdom, and to fall acceptingly into the vacuum of the universal void. It has been like breathing fog onto a mirror where I have only succeeded in obscuring my own reflected image of myself.

Earlier I was thinking on those brief moments when we feel like we have a choice of what we are to become, to become in the middle future. Not now, not tomorrow, and not eternity either, but a year from now or five years. That’s long enough to make some real changes in one’s behavior. What should I choose to change?

In a conversation earlier tonight I consciously succeeded, three separate times, at choosing to restate my companion’s statements into what I hoped was a clarified presentation of the essence of their idea. I did that before I made my personal contribution. This attempt at controlling myself derived from my blog post “Do it right!!!” Coping with poor rhetoric skills. In that post, I realized my style of personal presentation was injuring the communication I was intending to promote. This, for me, was a turning point in my life that I should have made as a child, but didn’t.

At my current rate of progress I should become a reasonably well-behaved seven-year-old in a couple of years.
