thinking
i was just thinking this morning as i was walking to work from the motorcycle parking area, walking through my nice little forest to work -- i love that forest! and i love that UBC has kept those little areas forest-like, hidden just beyond the roads that cut through campus. anyhow, i was thinking about courage (because of an UTNE article i was reading), and that i think what i really would like to work on is to cultivate courage.
courage and clear-sightedness.
i think meditation would help with the clear-sightedness, but i also think maybe working on the courage would help the clear-sightedness too.
i remember when i was a teen and in my early 20s i always knew very clearly and very quickly what i wanted. maybe i can get that back, that would be helpful. but not just what i want, but also be able to make clear assessments of situations that involve value judgments.
hmm.
but courage, when i'm not sure what to do, or if i'm afraid of what other people think or how they'll react or something, just need to think about having courage. i think if i remember to think about it, i'll be able to act on it.
