Energy Fields
I'm watching a Show on Apple TV (Streaming) called "Shrinking" and have found it to be heart felt, full of substance that feeds the mind and heart and is just thought provoking and contemplative regarding the meaning of love, forgiveness, support, being a flawed human in an imperfect world surrounded by flawed and imperfect humans...making more flawed and imperfect humans.
That was a lot...
I won't give any spoilers away, and I WILL urge you to spend 15 bucks and get it for a month because I think you would enjoy it. We need more shows like this and fewer transformers and batman movies. Like how many of those can they make and remake?
OK Here we go ...
"At some point you have to restart your life"
I love this for what it is, if you have had trauma, or been hiding, or afraid to do something... or survived something, this is the softer version of my other favorite quote "Life is Risk". Both speak to living, to experiencing life, to stop hiding, take risks, and just live you life fully with the time that you have. It is Beautiful.
Next is a quote about something called "The Field"
"The Field is an energy force that keeps reminding you of what you need to become or what you need to do, until you do it"
This for me is so true. I had to transition, the field was there my entire life, wrecking me, reminding me, banging on the doors of my cell "Let me out" until I did it. Until I transitioned and transformed. I think the universe definitely has a "Field" It is the closest thing I think I can get to religion. Rush (the band) has a song called "Mystic Rhythms" I think they were singing about the field.

Next up.
"All we can do is believe that things are going to work out the way they're supposed to. That's it"
This one resonates because it reminds me I cannot control what I cannot control and that everything will work out in some way. Don't give up, but don't push so hard you break.
And.
The shows Theme Song is "Frightening Fishes" and one of the lines of the song is "I want to hear myself think again.. I want to hear myself think again..."
Isn't that so true. With so much noise in our world, social media, AI, politics, families, job, kids, friends, neighbors...war.....it goes on and on. we all want this. For me I found the best way to "hear myself think" is to turn it all off. spend time with myself. literally "Let the muddy water clear itself by leaving it alone".
What else.....
"Nothing is scarier than having someone you care about yank you out of your comfort zone."
I love that. Sometimes to grow you have to face what you are uncomfortable with. To challenge or have challenged your ideas and be able to listen and contemplate what someone you care about is saying to you even if YOU or THEY don't want to hear it. I have ran into this a few times in my life. That difficult conversation. That moment of truth or saying or being told something. ... It is what you do with it that matters. Is that hill worth dying on? or is that person or the person telling you something more important than thier or your conviction?
Finally
"Needing something bad to happen s you can do what you should've done all along" and in response "I'm not sure it matters how you get there."
I love this so much. "I'm not sure it matters how you get there" is so true.
