Take Control

Updated: Aug 24




Today we will put your feelings into context, and hopefully this will be your "AH HA" moment. A lot of the time we believe things because they feel right but we cannot find the words or context to express those feelings. So I will do the hard part for you below!


There are only 3 main components that lead to happiness, everything within these 3 are just hyper focused details of the big picture. To simplify life and to be able to wrap our arms around the elephant in the room we must simplify the beast (or beasts) we are trying to tame. Time, Forgiveness, and the lack of any expectations are the 3 Kings we will try to make bow at our knees and beg for mercy lol.


Time... the only thing that actually matters in this world. Most if not all pressures of life come from time restrictions. Health condition effect and limit time if found to be fatal. Trading time for money will pull apart the sought after work life balance. Missed deadlines increase anxiety, and the list goes on. This is why people without money think money brings happiness and people with money believe it does not. We are thinking and using money in the wrong way. Currency is meant to be traded for time. That is how you achieve happiness, instead of playing catch up with your bills, try and stay ahead of the game and use money to buy your time back from society. I will explain in detail how you can achieve this.

When you wake up and have a slow morning, meaning time is on your side and there is no where to rush to be, your emotions and mind are at ease. Money can create this reality. Everyone must work, so there is no cheat code or unattainable code to crack in order to make this your reality. All you need is a plan. Start that plan with how you make an income (preferably cash flow), do not choose a job based on how much money you can make, choose it based only on what you like to do. There are rich people in every industry so you can make a living doing what you want, just find your lane and stay in it no matter how enticing it is to jump the line to get success.


Forgiveness. There is no other way to describe a situation of tension, then maximize the emotions, then you release it all as if it never happened. What a hard concept to accept and practice. We believe, here at Chicane Media, that this distribution of power is not for the benefit of ourselves, but for the better of the person that inflicted pain upon us. You may tell yourself the person does not deserve grace when they intentionally hurt you, but something else happens that you cannot see or feel. Anyone who hurts you, even if they do not admit it, if you forgive them they self reflect and that is where the magic happens. They will not tell you or may not tell anyone but they think about the fact that someone understood the mistake they made and did not chose to make them feel worse about it and you'll notice they will talk to you more, or spend more time around you because you created a safe space for them to have comfort while dealing with the demons that contribute to their unjust actions. Isn't that beautiful?


HEY LISTEN UP! DO NOT LOWER EXPECTATIONS! LOSE THEM ALL TOGETHER! This is something we cannot bend on! In todays world things move very fast, especially post technology boom. When speed increases in decision making most of the time what goes out the window is composure. Lack of composure leads to irrational decision making and the snowball effect continues. So, here is how we fix this. Have no expectations of anything or anyone. EVER. You do not have to try to do this, just do. Ignore the results of any decision before you see the results in real life. What happens is, you have input (decision) that produces and output (result). Once the input happens you can not longer control the output so do not worry about time or results because you cannot do anything to change or control the result. This is not as scary as you think. Make all decisions with the best interest for yourself, the people around you and the world, and last but not least give your best effort. You will see that you win more times than you lose. You will also see when you lose, you will then learn what to correct for the next input and that is called.......... GROWTH.


In conclusion, read this blog as many times as you need, reflect with family and friends because we all only live one life. So do not let superficial things separate you from what matters most, which you will find not in another article on this website but deep down in your heart. Never lose track of your inner voice.
