I love the attentio...Super sweet awarenesses here.<br /> I love the attention to how we can choose to shape our lives or how we can choose to engage by default with what we only blandly know.<br /> How astute of your friend to boil someone's orientation in life down to their dreams. <br /> I was recently asked by a mentor to define my goals again and while this is something that I think about and work toward regularly, it was surprisingly fresh and created more clarity than I had expected. Who knew that to just write down what I"m wanting would bring so much more clarity of focus. <br /> In doing so I realized how big my vision is and that I need to make some adjustments right about now in order to swing it into the weave of my life.<br /><br /> Here's something that caught my attention in this blog. <br />"It would make sense that how we use that time and whether we choose to hunger after self-improvement and be driven to obtain our wants... would be an excellent way to determine the character of a person."<br /> I was conversing with someone the other day and it came up how it seems that sometimes we're just surviving our lives rather than living them enthusiastically. In looking at that I came to a place of wondering what it is in me that gets me back in the saddle when I've been bucked by a hurricane of circumstance. <br /> What I told her was that I often sense myself as being unusual and the best I could figure is that I make it a point to be a better person each day and that I review what I could have done differently or when I "totally knew" to do this and I went and did that cause everyone else said so or because it was the "right" thing to do.<br /> It's like I'm getting that by choosing to follow my knowing in the moment (when I've clearly defined my dreams) that following will always lead me there with more ease than if I don't.<br /> I look at it as if it's a little something extra I was given to see what I could do to make the best of it. For me, when I include others in my dreams, while I want them for myself and what I know is possible, when I also extend the benefits out to others, the dream becomes so much more powerful for me. It becomes something that's larger than I am.<br /> <br /> From what I know, as a balance to what this blog brings, I would bring in a seeking of inner Joy in the moment as something to orient toward, like a compass when my dreams have been defined.<br /> For me this takes it out of the external and brings it back home where I get that I'm the one choosing to follow and how amazingly delicious that feels when I'm aligned and in that flow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899054793441947832noreply@blogger.com
