For many, the most distressing times are those we are enduring now, but realistically speaking, the entire CMKX experience has been an ordeal of sorts that will make some and break others.
This most recent “dark” period is no exception. While many are confused about how things may go, as evidenced by the diverse postings which clearly indicate an elevated sense of uncertainty, the issue remains the same as to what decisions or choices should be made by CMKX and on a personal level.
I would still caution my fellow shareholders to be patient where CMKX activities are concerned and let the scenario play itself out.
Why? Because we basically have the same scenario now, that we have experienced on many previous occasions and that is confusion and uncertainty.
Many are seeking “guidance” from the board’s “reliable sources,” which is not a bad thing in such times of doubt and confusion. But, in all honesty, as far as I’m concerned, DD is still the best source of guidance you can have.
Facts, are for the most part unbiased and they tend to provide, not always but usually, clarity of vision in a given situation.
While I would be remiss if I didn’t sanction some form of guidance from an obvious better informed source on various levels, I still believe that your own DD and intuition is always a very good place to start and work forward regarding your own decisions and life choices.
Right now we are required to attempt some type of valid DD during this “dark” period, but we should do so with one thought in mind, clarity of vision!
When you have clarity of vision, your mind does not resemble a battlefield strewn with wasted and unproductive thoughts, or fears of the unknown.
Instead focus and clarity of vision can help you actually feel more relaxed and at ease with decisions as to where you are headed in your personal activities and how to get there.
From experience on many levels, I can truly state that life and the way we choose to live it can be easy, difficult and or chaotic and more so, if you are not in touch with your intuition as to where you’re headed.
Guys, the phrase "crap happens" only applies if you lose sight of your focus.
Call it by any name you choose, but your intuition and facts are still your best guide when it comes to making those difficult decisions.
As a means to an end, the boards provide a viable function, especially since as adults, we may not always get the opportunity to physically sit down with some one, a sage for example, to ask for their help.
But as with all things in life, if you seek and do not take the guidance of a wiser person, or simply rely solely on their advice then you are not “growing.” I found that when seeking advice from a “better informed source,” I used their guidance in an ancillary role for the path I had decided on. In that way, I was not forced to spend the majority of my time second guessing my actions.
This is one quality of leadership and decision making. A very good quote come to mind to illustrate that philosophy and that is “lead follow or get the hell out of the way.”
Now I’m not indicating one way or the other on how people should live their lives, but I have found that if you seek and apply a little “outside” guidance with a whole bunch of information, you stand a better chance of making the right decisions, which is much more preferable when you need to take actions in a given situation in the here and now, the present moment, than simply relying on someone guidance and or your own possibly “flawed” past experience.
Why even go this route? Simply because your life is already defined by your past actions, as such, those actions have ultimately brought you to this place and time.
To repeat past decisions that are only similar to your current situation will not expedite either your current thoughts / decisions making process, or move you toward the future you are seeking.
Granted every now and then, we're all blessed with a touch of luck, when it seems that no matter what we do or how we do it, everything just turns out right.
Most times, we can feel it coming -- and we sure as heck know when we're right smack dab in the middle of it.
But guys, that isn’t luck per se, it’s actually serious or at least so,me attention to detail regarding prior planning on your part, in which you did everything you could, to place yourself in a favorable position to “realize” a specific goal.
This luck is what I call the “zone.”
If you don't know what I’m talking about, or understand what it feels like in the zone, when it’s happening, you're just not paying attention!
The “zone” I’m referring to is the feeling / ability we all get, the condition that athletes refer to when they are operating at the top of their game and everything is clicking.
Michael Jordon was a good example of understanding, recognizing and allowing himself to free flow without
“thinking” into the “zone.” We all have to some degree, the same ability.
That my friend is the intuition I spoke about in the opening remarks of this post. It is simply the ability to allow yourself the luxury of just doing your best in a situation and let it go, without a lot of “over thinking” as to what can, should or would happen.
So, I would suggest for those wondering where I’m headed with this post, take look at this post as an invitation to take this time while we are in a “dark” period relevant to CMKX, to understand, recognize and allow yourself the opportunity for some simple every day “free flowing movement into your own zone.”
Let the rumors lay and understand one simple fact.
You’ve already ready done everything you could relevant to CMKX, so any additional worry now about what may or may not happen, will not change, or affect the outcome of whatever or wherever CMKX is headed.
Take care and be safe this holiday.
