The maps out this way start getting scarce ^^
I was IMing with a friend this afternoon and he was asking me some questions he was looking for answers to. In the course of my response, I relayed a thought that I spent a bit more time on this evening at work. The wording basically works out to, “No matter where you go, you will make anew that which resides in you.”
That got me to thinking about just what exactly I allow to reside in me - the thoughts and habit that make up how I act and what I do. For me personally, it’s one thing if what I do has negative effects on my - it’s something else if it reaches out and touches the lives of others. Yes, I realize that that is the way things work - period - but the active thought concerning it is not something that I think is always present. It makes me want to continue to be better, to excel and exceed more, not simply because I will feel better and be better in the process, but because - as I know I read somewhere - being yourself, living, being free: these things allow the same to happen in the lives of those around you. And *that* is something I am willing to strive toward.
Of course, saying and doing are always different things, but that’s why find what you can do and take steps to bring things about. Make big dreams - it’s good to have them - but find little steps that will let you move toward them daily. I’ve started writing daily - this makes Day 14 actually - and I plan to keep write .. on going ;D
It’s good to do something you care about, something that makes you feel more alive. I’m trying to learn to take the time to find those things. And then, work through the fear that arises and go for it. Day by day, moment by moment, breath by breath - forward ho! ^_^!
