Endless possibilities
I was watching the movie Jack Reacher and quite from the start I was amazed that it is still possible to write new plots, new scripts for movies. As the story started like no other movie I ever saw before. And when adding the Wikipidia link I saw that the story was based on a book, so it was probably not the idea of a script writer or of someone wanting to create a new kind of movie. But still. And yes, it seems there are endless possibilities to write stories, to create lives, to create anything you want. And the story was interesting all the movie long and again, I was impressed, as also this movie had a message, a message to get to the truth, no matter what, similar to the movie Law Abiding Citizen, one of the best movies, best stories, best messages I ever saw on the law, on lawyers, on our justice system.
Intermezzo: persistence
And I guess I should have called this post something like persistence as I kind of wanted to write this post from the terrace near our bedroom on the laptop. However, that laptop is broken and one of the issues is that somehow the internal keyboard or the touch pad is interfering with the things I was typing making typing virtually impossible. And my own computer also has a problem which I don’t want to check right now as that computer is more related to work. So finally I decided to bring up another computer, but only after doing that I realized that that computer has no wireless internet and there is no network connection nearby. So then I needed to find a way to get a wire up here, which meant I got a long wire and moved one of my switches a bit so I could connect that computer to the network. And then I found out it was not running at all, meaning I either had to fix it, like take the additional video card out or get another computer, which is what I finally did, get another computer. And then I found out it wasn’t connected to the internet due to my/our problems with our Internet Service Providers. So then I decided to use that computer as a remote desktop for the laptop, which probably would work when using remote desktop, which it did and does, although the music I was playing from the laptop stopped.
More on persistence
So I’m not sure how to continue this post, writing about the movie and what I admired or on me getting this post written today, right now. And I think with the last, as when thinking about the whole thing what I did to be able to writes this here right now I did a lot of things to make it work. But when reading the above you may also note, or at least I noted, that I was putting quite some restrictions on what I wanted and not wanted. E.g. I could have just gone down to the office and use one of the computers there as there are three there and as far as I know they are all working. So I wouldn’t have needed to put this wire and use remote desktop as they are all connected to the internet or at least can be connected to the internet much easier. And I could have checked my own computer and probably make it work as I need that computer anyhow tomorrow for work. But somehow I didn’t.
So looking back my desire was to sit here and write my post or posts or whatever I want to do further today with a computer. So yes, desire seems to be the most important thing still, the most important driver of everything, the most important thing to make things happen and to continue until you got what you want.
But I’m still a bit amazed with myself as I didn’t consider the whole thing important. And logically the whole thing doesn’t make sense, although while writing maybe it does, as the last few days I was not really able to or at least didn’t manage to write my daily posts, here as well as in my personal site, my personal blog. And yes, somehow not mixing private, this site, and work seems to be very important to me as I went quite far to be able to sit here and not in the office.
Abundance
One more thing I forgot and that is abundance. As I still feel quite poor at the moment with my office in ruins and old equipment and stuff that is breaking down. But looking at today and some other days, events, I still have an awful lot of ‘stuff’ that when something doesn’t work I can still put to use to make things work and e.g. write this post.
Going back to normal
And while writing now, while wanting to finish this post I don’t even remember why I started this post about the movie. But maybe this post is indeed to talk a bit more about desire and persistence. And that if you just push through there is always a way to get there, as there were many ways to write this post and also many ways to get a working computer in this location, at the location I’m working, writing right now.
And the amazing thing still about all this that there is indeed something like Infinite Intelligence. And that to my amazement somehow part of my desire document, about the intentions and plans I made around one and a half year ago are coming true. And that indeed, somehow life is getting back to normal, something I really have been longing for for a long time now.
And no, not the normal from before, but an intentional normal, a normal by choice, not by accident.
