RANDOM THOUGHTS

 There are many who seem to want to master their EXTERNAL world through more education, more competition, more training, more reading,  more,more,more. I notice that my work is to understand and master my INNER world through observation, connection with others and reading what life has to offer me through work, family, friends and being alone on a run, bike, hike or simply watching the sun set from my back deck. There are different ways to "fill up our tanks". I prefer the latter approach. This is contrary to the way I was raised as a child yet it is the way I raise my children. What is most important is to be in nature, embrace its lessons, follow your heart ( what your inner voice says), and do what you love. Choose places to live... truly live... that fit skin tight over your spirit... if at all possible. Your external environment will nurture and aid your spirit. It directly impacts your daily mood and outlook on life, on other people, your work, your creativity, your energy ( physical and spiritual and mental) and your relationship with yourself. Choose friends who function on this level as well and avoid at all coast, the emotional vampires who simply such your spirit dry. These are thoughts that I play with daily. I have learned these concepts from many, many mistakes and years of struggle. We all have choice and with that, have the freedom to create a life worth living. DO & BE what is NATURAL even if it is not natural for you right now. What I believe is natural is: health and well being, abundance, joy, happiness, struggle, pain and bliss ( what we experience on the Hero's journey... up and down is natural). More later!
