Dudeism Blog 75. How Easily the Greedhead Mentality Slips into Our Thinking

...fueled by subtle anxieties that can easily go unnoticed.

You see, these days, with the internet and all that, it's easy to get carried away with giving yourself stacks of shit to do because of an overactive imagination that has its eyes on some form of success.

I've written a couple of books. They're not Dudeist ones and not in my name. I don't want to be associated with them. What I wrote flowed through me and wanted to be written. It never felt like mine - I'm getting to a point - and I know there are two more books coming. And I just want them done so then it's over.

But previously I got into a whirl because of them.

I created a website for them and posted something every day to drive organic traffic. I also ran Amazon ads for them.

What a pile of shit!

It's easy to take my eyes off the slackness target.

A subtle head full of achieving.

Not a gold-brick, golden goose, millionaire dream shit - just, this will sell more books, help the old organic keyword rank, and get them in front of a few more faces.

Little goals need a danger sign attached to them. They slip through the trawler net but still have an effect.

Fucking hell.

This is not what it's about, dude.

What am I pushing? Sell a few more books? I was making, like $30 a month and acting like a dope trying to improve their rank.

If something flowed through me as a couple of books, it can also flow itself into the eyes of any reader wanting to find them. I'm not needed. And I've never been bothered whether they sold or not. So, what the fuck is this shit I found myself doing? A fuck-off bullshit website, and advertising. I knew it didn't feel right. How can I vibe in Dude slackness while living through the tension of trying to achieve something? Fuck it. How can I focus on the art of reclining if my arse is constantly on the go because of a dinged-up mind not listening to mellowness?

So, I ditched the website. Ditched the advertising. Ditched Quora answers. Ditched the lot.

And now, I'm ditching this post.

I'm going to stare out of the window for a bit and watch some clouds flow by.

Keep drifting, dudes.

Rev. Thomo
