What do you do #2

O.k so the sun's shining, that helps. But I was getting highly agitated with one of the servers that I'm currently trying to restore a database on for someone's website, aarrrgghhh. You know, one of those days that you start out with a fairly simple job that should take an hour max and then turns out to be this nightmare that you're still working on 6 hours later!? One of those...

Time to change my perspective, let's see what inspirational sources I can find: ah, YouTube, perfect! I'll give myself 15 minutes... looking up videos on the science of consciousness... Let's see: David Lynch (yes, the movie director), talking about consciousness and ways to expand it, bettering your experience of life through transcendental meditation. I'm getting happier already! And then I came across a gem of a quote:

"There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force, which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."

- Max Plack (1858 - 1947)

Call me crazy but that just puts me in a state of wonder at who we are, and this amazing universe we live in! And there's so much information available in the area of quantum physics in relation to consciousness, I'm loving it. Oh, and did I just forget that I was frustrated a minute ago?

#2 - WATCH INSPIRING VIDEOS (ONLINE)

And do check out TED - Ideas worth spreading!
