An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea. - Buddha
Okay so my attempts at last week's affirmations have for the most part been successful, aside from intoxication. Now I've determined that I'm not entirely going to refrain from all forms of intoxication. I will continue to stray away from the illegal forms as I have for many years now, but legality has allowed me to have a drink here and there. No big deal. I jewed my way, damnit.
Okay so this week's affirmations are as follows:
Right Livelihood: Abstain from all evil living and all manner of ill-gotten gain or means of livelihood.
Right Effort: Abstain from all evil states of mind; worry, doubt, hate, revenge, distrust, etc.; foster and maintain virtuous states of mind; compassion, pity, sympathy, calmness and tranquility
This weeks will be a turning point in my studies, I have achieved a new sense of tranquility as so far. Meditation and prayer have brought me a bountiful excess of joy and togetherness, especially at home with Caitlyn and Dale. I enjoy being there and that's a great change. I do enjoy Dale's company but I have to admit it is mostly because of Caitlyn's presense that this joy has been achieved. Thanks be to her.
So that's all I an think of right now.
Ciao.
