Having a rough day? Watch a few hours of a cat doing a slow and goofy hand dance.

When #zen guys say that one must "live in the present moment," all I hear is how nice it must be to be a zen guy who never files tax declarations.

However, being *lucid* in the present moment says something to me. I notice that if I take up the habit to ask myself, "Why am I doing this?" I often surprise myself with the response. Often I am just following some mental rut.

My life deserves my consent.

People who achieve the most control over their lives become prisoners of what ever gave them that control. Elon Musk is a prisoner of Tesla and of his every tweet.
