Something has been changing within me in the last couple weeks. A better way to say it is I have been consciously changing that something myself.

I am more determined than ever to do the following two things:

1. Become the best Human Being and Captain that I can be.
2. Get my first ship.

There’s a lot that goes into making both of those happen. One of the big parts of the first one is that I have consciously been putting in the effort to not let anything bring me down emotionally. I have taken and am taking more and more control over my mind and its thoughts. Each time a thought that is negative or especially one that involves worry pops into my head, I consciously ignore it and instead choose to be joyful, at the very least peaceful and unbothered, worry-free.

This really takes a lot of effort, but it gets easier as you continue to do it. I simply decided that I’m not going to worry about ANYTHING anymore. Does that mean I’m going to ignore my problems? No. It means that I’ve realized worrying about absolutely anything has never made a situation improve for me. And think about how often worry-some thoughts about things that haven’t happened or already happened long ago come into our minds? It’s been incredible as I’ve stuck with this. My mind is becoming organized and presents me less and less negative thoughts as I’ve done my best to consciously ignored ALL of them the last two weeks. I cannot turn back from this “experiment” anymore. It is simply becoming too wonderful.

I’ve been thinking about a list of qualities that I want to embrace more to become a better Human and Captain. Some of the ones so far include:

• Love
• Joy
• Involved
• Intense
• Funny
• Disciplined
• Unwavering
• Adventurous
• Fun
• Conscious
• Free

I think it’s a pretty great start. The interesting thing is that as I go down this path of becoming more of who I want to be, I find that there’s always more, always someplace deeper within myself to reach and break past limitations. It’s not something you can do one day and not the next. Whatever it is you want to call what I’m doing now (chasing my dreams, adventure, passions, life), it’s something you have to consciously choose to do every moment. Because that’s really all there is anyway, this moment, that goes on and on. Don’t be intimidated by it, look at this moment in wonderment, this life in awe, for it is truly the greatest thing that exists- this existence.

Alright on a less philosophical side of things, plain and simple, I’m doing every damn thing I can to get my first ship. It’s going to primarily require saving up money and continuing to learn everything I can about sailing and life on the ocean. I have a basic plan worked out in my mind. I’m going to make it happen. I just know it, because I know that part of myself.

I’m going to start diving back into creative endeavors like content creation of various kinds again. I need to write another book, it’s been too long and I miss it. I’m also going to start back up with making videos, ones that are about my journey and things/moments I want to share along the way.

Ahh, it feels good to write this Captain’s Log. The very first one in my adventure as The Pirate Yogi, Captain Mayso. I want my Captain’s Log to be public, I want to build a community of adventurers of land, air, and sea. A community that inspires and helps one another to live the best life possible. Because that’s going to be a huge part of my journey: making people as happy and free as possible.

See ya soon, mateys. Yohoho!
