Dont count your chickens before they hatch.
"I don't count any chickens yet," Auntie Em told Dorothy, "but the eggs look good, and that mother hen has been tending to these chicks-" "When will they hatch though Aunti Em!?" Dorothy eagerly interjected. Her mother's sister only smiled down at her anxious orphaned neice. "Soon dear," she replied, "soon dear, spring is just around the corner."
I had the second interview today and Kristen, the Ops Manager, told me that she wants to give me the job; I have to interview with the District Ops Manager at some point before that though, and my background check has to go through. So yeah, no counting chickens prematurely for fear of jinxing myself... and along those same lines, I've been praying. I try to do it daily, and my intention is set on cultivating daily practice, and I'm getting there.
The other night I had an epiphany about the last couple of years, and what it was that I needed to learn, and why and so on. I think the fact that I'm beginning to see definite forms in the answers is a sign that I'm clear into the next 'couple of years'.
I've been thinking a lot: that what we leave up to fate, fate will decide for us. And that what we truly intend and wish will manifest (although not in the way that we thought intially neccesarily)... So if we truly desire something, and intend it deeply, and work toward it earnestly and honestly, and leave the outcome to fate that we'll actually end up getting we want. The trick of that is that we can't leave the path to the destination up to fate...
Or to be a little more clear, that we can set out on a path, toward a mountain, but we may or may not make it. And we can't control that, the weather, or whether something eats us, stops us, the train dead ends... whatever.
And that if we accept that we can't control that, and leave it to nature, then we will ultimately get something that we truly want out of every situation. ...that we can't control the causal relationship of our actions and outcomes, but that by that the quality (positive, loving, bad, whathaveyou) of our actions will determine the quality of our outcomes.
But if we think about the fact that we were say trying to get away from a bad village... but a lion gets us, we still got away from the village. Or if we were trying to find a new place to live, and we wanted to live on top of the mountain, but the trail led to a river that we couldn't cross. Well... we still found a place to live, and one that has water too!
I don't know... Marisa said to me the other day that "everything you need to know can be seen in nature" so I've been thinking about that a lot to.
I've been listening to Noah lately, and really trying to cultivate mindfulness often through the day. People keep asking me about my tattoos and each time I talk about the Buddha I remember a little bit more that I forgot, and it gets a little bit easier to forgive myself for straying away from the path.
I'm really excited about what's coming up. Different then the last time I had this feeling, but... intuition.
"i feel great, even though we got mad things to deal with happiness is all in the mind"
"i got my body and my mind on the same page, and honey now happiness is all the rage"
