Create A Rewarding Life. FAITH KNOWS!
So, It's been awhile, and I have been busy doing...whatever it is that I do.
Going through the motions, trying to be a better person, I think I am making some progress. At least, that is what I hope.
Trying not to be so trapped by my thoughts, dealing with the obstacles and challenges as they arise, as opposed to planning how to deal with these things if and when they arise. Just doing my best at being the best that I can be, and getting on.
The mood swings, the roller coaster, not gone, just choosing a new method of dealing, and I think in this life, if you can find alternative methods for dealing, creating as much ease in any given situation that you can muster, that, is a positive step in the right direction.
We all have our ups and downs, you have to remind yourself that these things come with the territory that is this life, that it is all wired into the human condition, that we are all here to make the best of whatever hand we have been dealt, and we have to ride the waves as they come, and not sweat it all so much.
That seems to be the biggest lesson. Things will come up that challenge you, the thing is you have the option of deciding how you will react to these things when they arise. I am starting to see that there are so few things that really warrant getting all bent out of shape about.
We don't have to shift into crisis mode when something happens that seems to strike out of the blue. When you start operating in that vein, it almost feels as if you have forgotten something. Then you realize that you have forgotten to get all worked up over something that maybe once, would have really rattled your cage. There are so many things that really are not necessary to think about all the time, we just THINK, that we have to figure all these things out.
We have to remember that we can tap into that place of harmony, and when we do, we find things that once would have challenged us, or been daunting, no longer effect us in the same way.
I stopped awhile back, to think about all the time that we waste in this life...Overthinking is a big part of it, working ourselves into a frenzy over all the what ifs that cha cha cha through our heads. Think about all the time you spend waiting in lines...the supermarket,the bank, dmv...waiting on red lights, waiting for the program you want to watch, waiting through the commercials, waiting for the coffee to brew/ Waiting, letting our minds run us, while westand about waiting. It's all just a waste. We can't get around the time we spend waiting on things, it's just a part of life. We can however, choose our thoughts, while we are waiting on all the things that we need to do. We have to remember while we stand around, or sit, or whatever, that we manufacture these ideas.
I have lost countless hours, days, weeks of my life, flipping the buttons on my tv remote, looking for some show that will grab my attention, as opposed to shutting it off, and using my time more productively, in a manner that may inevitably benefit me.
Go figure, that I can somehow reconcile this wasted time, because I'm feeling lazy/ unmotivated at that moment, and then I can hate on myself for god knows how long, because I am mad at myself for not doing something better, something else, something that may change my life for the better.
Great little conundrum isn't it???
It's about time to flip the script, embrace the present moment, and if it is not life and death, it's not really worth sweating over. Like, I would really like to type faster, I type quickly now, I just want to be super swift on the keyboard, and I have to practice, and I know where all the keys are...so why don't I close my eyes and just do it? The answer is that as of yet I don't trust myself, and I realize that the key to any great change in this life, or any change for that matter big, or small, you have to trust yourself. Makes you think, doesn't it?
f you want to change anything, you can think about it, and talk about it, and meditate on it, and all that, until you actually do it, it's all just an idea. Like one day, I will sit down and write some great book.
Yes, however, I have not yet done so, and I am still unclear as t0 what this great book is going to be about...so, is it any wonder that this book has not been written yet?
The answer is that I need to find my passion for this. I have to decide that I cannot put it off any longer. So, what am I waiting for???
I'm sure hoping that the answer to this question will finally be answered. I could really ise that resolution so that I can get it all going already.
A great thought to close this entry with it...
Good night, God Bless, Amen and as always NAMASTE!
