Balancing Out The Ups and Downs of Life

Perfection Versus Excellence

Time will do wonders in our lives.
An example of life’s ups and downs from my own experience is as follows. On several occasions, someone would annoy me where I wasn’t able to get satisfaction from them. I would dwell on the event and look for ways to get pleasure at first, I would feel frustration then suddenly I would feel in harmony with the event, yet I don’t know why. On these occasions, I’ve asked myself why I felt better able to think of a person in a more favorable way when the situation hardly changed. The answer given to me is I began to value my actions on the problem better, remembering that time heals all things, which is why age can bring wisdom to those who seek it.
When I figured out my mid-range, and daily cycle, each poker player dealt once around the table. I don’t know how a dealer would affect a poker cycle with an extra period in the game; I don’t know. When there is more than one dealer at a table, it may get a little complicated. Thinking about it, some more the dealer would affect the hot and cold of the hands played, but the players’ cycles would remain the same, it seems to me.
In this paragraph, we are talking about our mid-range cycle.
During the negative phase of our cycle, going towards the bottom, our trough, our ideas were likely to be negatively twisted. When in the negative phase approaching our positive stage, things probably would look more promising for some of our thoughts. We then have the positive phase of our cycle going towards our peak where things look the most profitable; after this point, our winning ideas will start to decline while still looking festive now we have completed a full circle as we begin anew.
Memories of my Father and Mother.
The ingredients that made up my mother and father are still in this universe will probably be for all time. Even my father’s enemies will be in this universe for all time. Yet they will antagonize each other no more, for they are at peace with each other.
The word chronobiology came about in 1952 at the University of Minnesota. There are over 100 different internal cycles of the human body whose timing may be related to our daily, mid-range, and long-term periods someway. These internal cycles have a name called circadian rhythms; they are the mental and physical changes in the human body in 24 hours.
When I compete against others, I notice my ups and downs more than when competing against myself. Of course, there are times in my everyday life that I notice my daily ups and downs but always more so when I compete against others.
Excellence versus perfection.
I know we would all prefer just the positives in life, but that’s not possible; striving for excellence is much more preferred than seeking perfection. When we seek perfection, we can realize our goals so infrequently that we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment. When seeking excellence, our failed attempts at perfection are more comfortable to grasp, as merely a part of life’s ups and downs.
Let’s talk about Death.
As I know it, death, I believe, manifests itself with a powerful gut reaction known as intuition that can’t be overlooked or denied for long; I also think that the final moments maybe even our last seconds are painless. Accidental deaths are similar to this in that the final moments are pain-free.
Everyone leads at one time or another in their lives.
Everyone leads when their cycles are right, either verbally or with their body language. Educated or not we all play a leadership role.
Timing is everything.
Individuals and even team efforts can only do as much as their cycles allow at that moment in time.
How successful people become that way.
Successful people set goals better; their timing cycle wise is better, they educate themselves when they make a mistake, and they have perseverance.
When the cards cause you to mourn, it is time to change direction in what you are doing.
You have heard the expression you’re only as good as the cards that you get. Well, that holds even if you’re the best player on earth. When the cards go against you, the only thing you can do is quit to cut down on your losses. In other words, look for something better to pass your time away with that goal in mind.

Did you ever wonder why actors and actresses in TV and in Movies Only Stay on top for a few years?

When couples fall in love, they do a love dance together.

For a guy and a gal to fall in love with each other, they must have opposite 24- year cycles. This opposite love cycle of theirs moves around in circles where one is it a positive phase of this cycle, and one is in the negatives phase of this cycle. In this cycle, one is in the positive phase for 12 years, and one is in a negative phase for 12 years, then does a flip flop where one is in the negative phase for 12 years; the other is in the positive phase of this cycle for 12-year intervals. This would give this couple a perfect balance in nature. As their love cycle moves around in a circle, they will break out even twice where this is the perfect time for partners who reflect on the past 12 years or so and to plan for the next 12 years or so of their time together. By breaking out even, I mean neither partner is any more positive or negative than the other.

In poker, the best hand going into the last card usually wins.

In poker, you don’t want to be chasing someone with the best hand going into the last few cards, especially the last card. You want to have the best hand going into the last few cards while others chase you.

The love bug got me one year in the spring and fall.

I’m curious if that has happened with others.

Love mate.

If you have your love mate on the 1st try and things go well, chances are love will not knock on your door again. If you don’t find your love mate, then you will fall in love again and again till you do. If you find your love mate and life separates you, your love cycle may very well pick up where you left off if you’re looking for a new relationship.

Love cycles our great equalizer.

The love cycle is the greatest equalizer; it is even more important than looks when it comes to finding the right person in your life.

I give thanks to the girls in my life.

I really must thank all the girls who I shared some love time with; it was great while it lasted.

Did you ever wonder why most actors and actresses on TV and in movies only stay on top for a few years it all has to do with our ups and downs in our lives?

Happiness versus sadness.

If you had all the money you wanted and spent it all on all the things you wanted every hour of your waking moments for the length of your midrange cycle of 92 days, you will be happy only half the time. IT will go for all the good things that you repeat over and over again. Remember, the mid-range cycle is half positives and half negatives; that’s why I said you would only be happy half the time when doing something you enjoy for long periods. Let’s look at events we would consider to be bad like pain, hunger, or prison life; to mention a few, these are all bearable because half the time will be in a positive phase of our cycle. If this weren’t the case, we wouldn’t survive as we do. As proof of these findings, I remember how playing poker became like a job because I played so much of it rather than for a form of recreation. Anything done to access becomes a job than a fun thing.

Holding on to grudges is no good for you.

Thinking of bad happenings when in the positive phases of our cycle can turn the potential for good sour. If we are learning from bad experience, it makes sense to continue this endeavor, but if where dwelling on a bad experience that is making us angry, then it’s time to let it go and enjoy the positive in your lifetime.

That perfect day.

Planning for that perfect day like a wedding when it comes to luck requires a lot more planning the most of us are willing to do. A contingency plan in case luck goes against your plans is necessary. Without contingency plans, we’re at the mercy of our cycles. The more important an event is to you, the more it takes to plan for that event. If luck goes against your plan, don’t blame it on superstition but rather on your biological clocks. Remember, bad luck will pass, and good luck always returns.

Sex and Freedom doesn’t go together

Wisdom , I learned the hard way.

Be careful what you wish for when things are going your way. Once in my early teens, I wished for something to come true, and you know what happened it came true, and boy was I sorry. When in the negative phase of your cycle, be careful not to become paralyzed when your fears become a reality like what happened to me on more than one occasion. You see, the wish became a learning experience, and my fears also became a learning experience. All in all, not as good or as bad as they seemed.

Combat.

In combat, the life and death of the combatants depend a great deal on their cycles. Take, for instance, a combat patrol. A rifleman in this patrol who is nearing the peak of their mid-range cycle when sighting an enemy or the same rifleman at the trough of this same mid-range cycle, and you can imagine the results. The individual members of this patrol have their cycles, and then there is a group cycle coming into play here too. Since war is a big part of the human race history, I thought I’d talk about it, but violence does turn me off when it be nation against nation or neighbor against neighbor.

Windows of opportunity.

As we move towards the peak of our cycles, the window of opportunity is there for us once we pass this peak, the window of opportunity becomes less each day.

Men and women have the same love cycle.

If you say, women have a different love cycle then men, what would that to the equality of the sexes. No, I doubt that it could work this way where all equal is what it comes down too. Having the same love sex cycle is magical, where opposites attract, which creates a balance for the couples time together. If there weren’t a balance between the sexes, there would be no love.

Let us talk about our children and their cycles.

Having one’s cycle helps explain how you can do only so much for your children. They sure will go through their own sets of positives and negatives with its learning curve and mistakes. We can’t protect them all the time is the theme here. Hopefully, they will have common sense or learn it from someone there close to like a Godfather or Godmother.

Sex and freedom don’t go together; what it takes is an obligation between the parties.

There is a price for sex, which is a responsibility to your partner and the newborn. Nothing in life is free; there is a price for everything you do in life. Being in rhythm with life, which means don’t try to beat the system.

We all eventually die and decompose into atoms and then recombine again into groups of atoms called molecules.

In the five kingdoms of biological life, the plant and animal kingdom rely on one another this way. The plants supply oxygen, which we animals breathe and in return, we supply carbon dioxide, which we exhale that plants need for photosynthesis. The other three kingdoms decompose the dead plants and animals. In time these three decomposing kingdoms die and are broken down into simpler forms. We all rely on each other in the dance of life and death. Not only that, we feed off each other, but we are all associated with one another by the laws of the ups and downs.

Some thoughts on marriage.

Some couples, when they get married, think that their ups and downs in life are going to stop, and their stars are going to continue to shine without difficulty, but a good marriage takes a lot of work, and to be successful takes compassion for one another.

A tailor-made fit in your life when you least expect it can make you happy.

Did you ever notice that when you wanted to meet a special person for your life, it rarely happened, but when you least expect to meet that special person, it happened? I’ve talked to a lot of guys and girls about this, and they all agree with my experience. Here is why the universal intelligence reads you well. When in the negative phase of your cycle, your wants aren’t going to be rewarded, which includes meeting someone special. In the positive phases of your cycles, the universal intelligence will also read you well and will try to make you happy. I understand it took time to come true, but your wishes had to rebound from the negative phase to the positive phase of your cycle.

Taking Life in Stride

© 2020 Sterling James

Some of us are blaming others for our negatives in life.
We got to understand life’s high points and low points better instead of always blaming others for our hard-luck predicaments. Life isn’t fair, so it seems at times. Where not being treated fairly. They’re not playing by the rules. These thoughts happen to everybody sometime in their lives. It is where equality comes into play, we’re all treated the same for sure. It is just that life is difficult at times to understand. Have faith that the good times will balance out with the not so good times. Then you’ll be able to take life in stride. Roll with the punches life throws at you. Let bygones be bygones. Put your best foot forward during difficult times, and your rewards will be many times over. You should say always put your best foot forward and honor thy mother and father never let them look bad by your actions; you’re better than that.
We are only learning half the time.
If you don’t learn when something goes wrong, like when luck goes against you, when are you going to learn? In other words, you’re only going to learn when things go right for you, but that is only half of your life; why not learn your whole life through. How sad when you’re not learning from your mistakes, which is the best time to learn since it hurts, and you usually don’t want to get hurt that way again.
Everything in the universe moves like a circle.
Since the universe is expanding, all matter and everything else in the universe must be in motion ,however slight. Does this motion happen as a wave, or is it random? The only way I can answer this is to say since the expansion of the universe is rhythmic without sudden jerky motions, it seems to indicate a pattern to it, which would indicate a wave movement. Since it has a wave movement, it indicates that it must be moving in the circle like everything else in it does.
Letting go of the negatives in life.
Is it worth holding on to them? What do you think you’re getting out of it? You can’t change what happens to you in your lifetime. All your doing is eating yourself up inside. I can see gaining wisdom from this experience than letting it go. Negatives you see are a big waste of time. Think of it this way you very well could be taking up some of your positives in life while holding on to these negatives of yours. Does that get your attention it should?
Beginner’s luck.
Beginners’ luck happens when a person gambles for the first time and wins. It just so happened that they were in the positives of their cycle with their first experience. They say to themselves what was all the fuss about this game is easy. That is how they get hooked. Even the best poker players or best racetrack handicappers can lose when their cycles go against them. But those with beginners luck find this hard to understand. When they play consistently, then they do an about- face. That is when it starts costing them hard-earned money.

Spirit of God

Future boxers.
I can see boxing promoters of thousand or so years from now advertising for the next prizefighter. The advertisement will go like this: The weight and age we are looking for are so and so with a mid- range cycle that matches a peak around June 22nd If, you got the desire and heart to be a great boxer, we can help. May the best fighter win. The winners we will work with further.
Universal intelligence.
There is no doubt in my mind that the spirit of God is in our universe.
Our cyclic events rebound indeed they do. I do believe that what happens in the positive phases of our cycles does affect the happenings in the negative phases of our cycles. What happens in the negative phases of our cycles does affect what happens in the positive phases of our cycles. It is a rebounding effect. The more emotional a happening is the, more rebounding takes place where it goes back and forth between negative and positive phases.
You cannot avoid the hard times that are aimed at you in life because they are part of your callings in life.
Some people who avoid others who are having a hard time think they’re avoiding their eventual hard times but, their not.
Why getting older is a beautiful sight
A subject dear to my heart is showing respect for your elders. I’ll tell you why is because those more elderly then ourselves have gone through more cycles in life then you have. They could quite possibly have picked up some useful knowledge that they can impart to the world given the right situation. Not only can do you have more knowledge than younger folks, but they paid their dues by living so long.
Furthermore, they may have kids of their own who are as old or older then you are. So they had a lot to do who is the present and future generations of society. A sad part of getting older is that there there’s fewer elderly than yourself to look up too. When you’re younger, older adults are more abundant. Another thing is by being nice to the elderly: you show respect for them for being survivors of so many cycles. It is truly a great accomplishment for who those who do it because it is not always easy living a long life with all the disappointments that life can throw at you. Remember, the more ups and downs you live, the more opportunities for wisdom can take hold.
Is everything alright?
Of course, when things are darkest, there is still some light rays shiny through meaning some luck. When things are going our way, we still suffer a setback here in there. If I didn’t have my occasional setback, my mind would think there is something wrong with me. Things don’t seem normal unless we have some negatives with positives depending on where we are in the individual cycles. I guess I like to experience a positive without these accompanying negatives to see if I would like it I think it would get boring after a while is my take on it.

Wealth has its limits too.

Some people might say that the rich have more luck which, would mean they have longer positive phases in their cycle. But to compensate for longer positive phases longer, negative phases would have to come into play to keep the two in balance. There must always be a balance for everyone between the positives and negatives in our cycles. Except that a balance exists in this universe of ours and, you will be a much happier person
Money doesn’t do away with our low points in life.
People are hoping that money will best the low points in their lives for many a time it is people’s money that suffers during these times. If it is not money that is affected by these low points in life, it could be something even more precious than money to us.
Comforting thought.
A comforting thought is that our deceased loved ones will always be a part of our universe. Since nothing can escape this universe, not even light. Matter the stuff we’re all made out which scientifically speaking can’t be created or destroyed in our universe, so our loved ones will thrive in this universe of ours and, we never have to worry that they will be safe. Meaning all their thoughts and actions can never be destroyed; it is all saved for eternity.
Same old same old.
Many people, when you ask them how they feel, say the same as the day before which, is like saying the same old same old yet each sunrise in our lives is different Yet, in my study about cycles each moment in life is changing. There are not any two moments that are alike much less days that are alike. So a day’s difference in our lives can be significant. Very rarely are our days the same old same old.
I was in love with Roseanne; here is what happened.
With Roseann’s attention going to her boyfriend instead of to me, the one she fell in love with, I went through a process of not dating anyone I could get series about. It lasted quite some time until I understood what was missing in my life. I still miss Roseanne and all the other girls I’ve had the privilege of loving.
I am talking about our high and low points in our lives.
Why aren’t our highs and lows overwhelming? Is it because our moods always change and, time heals all wounds no matter how low you are? You do return to ground zero. The same goes for your highs here too for, you always return to ground zero no matter how high you are.
Role connected with nature.
When three people get sick or die, you wonder if they are in some way similar, the only thing I can add to this thought is that somehow when three similar incidents happen to three different people, they are connected. I mean we’re, all connected cycle wise with nature.

The Ups and Downs of Life
© 2020 By Sterling James
Everything in our lives is important.
Just think that you need every human being on earth, including our enemies like it or not. People you wouldn’t bother saying hello to in the morning you are associated with more than you know. This connection goes to the root of our existence for, without each other, we wouldn’t survive. We need our enemies as much as we need the people we get along with in life.
Can you Forgive the hurt done to you by others?
Learn to forgive the people who are hurting you and, you will make friends and influence people. It is hard to do, but the rewards will be great.
Revenge.
Revenge takes time and, hate often, poisons your mind. You will eat yourself up and gain nothing in return. Another tragedy about revenge is that you could be using up some of your good times in your life to pull it off. Then during your low points in life, you may face a backlash for your actions. It all has to do with cause and effect. Life has a way of righting wrongs without revenge; it is called the laws of the ups and downs which, balance all things out. Have No Fear all things that hurt you will balance out somehow. All hurt that you do to others will balance out as well. Hurt has healing powers which, if left to do its job, will be done.
There is no reason for everything.
When you feel wronged on many of those occasions, it is for a reason. It could be payback for a mistake that you made, or course you have taken in life has to be corrected. As the old saying goes, there is a reason for everything.
Hot and cold decks of cards in poker tell a lot about a game.
In a poker game, each player has their cycles, and their combined cycles will spell out the games cycle. The game cycle would have ups and downs too. A hot deck of cards would show itself with good hands. It is where the game cycle is it is in its positive phase. A cold deck of cards would show itself with lousy playing hands. It is where the game cycle is in its negative phases.

In Machiavelli’s The Prince, a political science paper it, is assumed that everything will go your way when needed which, is not all that possible at least not all the time. It is not taking into account the action and reaction of life.

A 24 -year cycle in America’s history goes like this.
American citizens pulling together during World War 2 in the 1940s then pulling apart during the communist scare of the 1950s was more than likely the positives N negatives of a 24- year cycle.
Here is a look at my love cycle.
In May of 1957, I fell in love for the first time. April 2017, I fell in love for the last time so far that is There are 59 years and 11 months between these dates. Five of those years, I fell in love. The total number Months in 59 years is 708 plus the 11 months previously talked about makes a total 719 months divide it by five years I fell in love makes 11.98 years rounding off this number is twelve so every 12 years I fall in love.

Life is Amazing!

This is what I mean!

Understanding Wars’ Balance.

Can you believe that you move around in circles as you live life? One complete circle is also called a cycle. Did you ever have the experience of feeling that you have lived the present moment before? Of course, you have. It happens because you travel in circles. I’ll explain it. You’re at the same place in a circle or cycle as before as you go through life only at a later time. That is why you feel you have been there before. I can point out that you move in circles clockwise. When we draw a line across the middle of a circle, you get two halves. One half is for the good times in life and, the other half is for the not so good times in life. In other words, the exact opposite of the good times.

You spend an equal amount of time traveling both halves of this circle. That is why you breakout even in life. To be sure you understand, you spend as much time in the negative parts of your cycles as you do the positive elements of your periods and vice versa. No one segment or part of a circle is any more important than another. It is all- important’s for us to understand the big picture of our life, you can’t dismiss any one part as being less than equal to another. When you look at a circle, you understand this equality. Beautiful isn’t, it?

An old saying is that it is one thing after another; this usually happens. After some small successes, like not getting into a car accident on a given day, like your health holds up for another day. Your mind is alert. You have food on the table, you have clean drinking water, and on and on it can go. Like, I appreciate the pen and paper I’m writing this on. How about understanding the technology you have at your beck and call? Then, there is a welcoming life itself or appreciating your kids. These are positives that just came to mind without much effort on my part. So with all the setbacks in life, there are a lot of positives.

Now, you can better understand that in life, there is no winning or losing. You only break out even. The great physicist, Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion, goes like this: I’ll explain what I’m getting at in a moment. The law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law can be applied to my work here. For this law to be possible, there is a balance in nature. Where our negatives and positives do balance out “What comes around, goes around” sense Yes when something happens in our negative part of a cycle, an equal reaction takes place in our positive parts of our period.

A happening can be any one of the following: Where an emotion can trigger a rebound or your self-talk can. Like when something happens in a positive part of a cycle, it rebounds itself into a negative part of your period, and you’ll have to deal with it again with a different look. This rebounding effect will diminish in time, if you let it, especially if you learn from it. I’m sure you have noticed in life that you can’t seem to get away with things because they come back to haunt you.

Going back to the saying, “What comes around,” this statement is telling you in no uncertain terms that you move around in circles and that you balance out. To get an idea of what a cycle looks like, let’s take a look at America’s long-range war cycle that lasted approximately 24 years. In 1917, the United States entered World War I. Twenty-four years later in, 1941, we entered World War II. Then, US combat troops were sent to Vietnam in 1965, twenty-four years after World War II started. For some reason, we don’t go to war again until 1991 with Desert Storm, which is twenty-six years after we entered Vietnam.

But the beat goes on twenty-four years after Desert Storm. The US was in combat against ISIS and Afghanistan, which we were trying to get closure on. Of course, as individuals, we have a long-range cycle that lasts 24 years according to my calculations which, I’ll get to in a moment. So a nation’s period is the same as our cycles which, makes complete sense since individuals make a nation. I do have proof of my long-range love cycle that lasts 24 years. I fall in love every 12 years, approximately once in the positive sector of this long-distance cycle and once in the negative area roughly, 12 years later, completing the 24-years when falling in love.

So, now that I’ve established that you move in circles and you always break out even, that an individual’s cycle or ring and a nations’ cycle or circle are similar, let’s take a look at America’s war cycle or anybody’s war cycle for that matter. The first thing that stands out is that you’re going to break out even which goes for violent individuals or a nations’ war cycle. What do you mean by this? Well, the US has been warlike with over 1.5 million of its death from war causes. These deaths are not what I call winning. Let’s also look at the unborn of these men and women would have made an impact on our society one way or another.

What about the children who have to live life without their dad or mom forever? It makes a difference. How about the impact of men and women who are no longer a part of society? What avoid. What about the men and women in a war, whose lives are severely different for all time. Right now, the universe, which was a part of is over 13 thousand million years old (13 billion years). I say this for a reason. Remember in, all universal history, each individual is unique and can’t be replaced ever, no matter how long the universe lasts. Losing any one of them is too much to bear.
