Sharing the experience of my journey today!
It is important for me to remind myself that everyday is full of choices. I’ve learned that it is better to start off quiet. To consult my “map” be still, breathe and then listen. After my mind has cleared or is quiet and I am peaceful, I can write down a few tasks that I want to accomplish for the day. (Try it for ten minutes at first or longer if you choose.) When I stay focused I can accomplish what I’ve planned. Many successful people have shared this process of daily meditation. It works. Many more people experience the deeper more enriching aspects of this practice and implement it at night as well.
It is important for each of us to remain happy -for that is our natural state- and to remember that others are journeying with us throughout our day. This is critical because we can become distracted by watching or engaging with them. Sometimes we stop our planned activities because of these distractions which may be enjoyable (someone we care about) or require our patience (someone we feel sympathy for). Although we had pre-determined what we were going to do for the day, we find ourselves engaged in some other activities because we have become engaged in the journey of another! Our feelings of balance and contentment may change because we are not where we intended to be.
We don’t want to stay off course because when that continues we become un-happy. This unhappiness is usually not part of our planned course, but because we are trying to be helpful to others and may be forgetting to consult our guidance system we find we are far from our intended destination. What is worse is that we find that we are living the experience that someone else chose for themselves and there we are right along with them!
While it is okay to stay on their journey, if you choose to keep them company, its better (for you) to get back to your own journey because each person has their own unique purpose and that purpose makes our world a better place.
When this happens, mentally consent your inner map for guidance. When you do this, you will be able to cut through the chase. You will remember they are the same as you! Others have the same freedoms and guidance system that you do. Remember the theme park analogy! You are here in Earth World! Don’t become unhappy, go back to the ride you wanted or choose another one!
Where are you going and what do you want to do today?
Be well, be happy!
