A Change in my Life

So it has come at a time in my life where I can decide which direction to go in and perhaps reimagine myself. Live a life that matters to me and that I can make the most of, not only for myself but for those around me.
 
As I sit in a Starbucks this afternoon and write this post after I dropped my daughter off to play hockey I am struck with this is a point in my life where perhaps I need to really take stock and not rush into anything so quickly. Why? Is it really necessary? No, not really. I am certainly capable of handling some time off without pay. I have been diligent enough to set myself up to sustain this type of situation.
 
After doing Ruhi Book 1 this morning, there really is so much more to life than just working for someone else everyday and trying to obtain possessions. There is so much more to serve in the world than this.
 
So with that I am reflecting and looking forward, taking account of different options available to me. Milk it out and savor life as it is. Ground myself, and do that literally as well. How much better it makes you feel and how much better I am looking to make myself feel. Dropping that stress from my life.

Note: I actually had not posted this until now, it was from August 15th, 2021.

What does it mean to have a great day? I think it means to feed your core desired feelings and really get a chance to feel those feelings to the point where they generate those good feelings right inside of you.
 
For me it can be simple things, and I think it is important to include simple things where it is not taking a lot of effort and it can be achieved very easily. It does not have to be elaborate or expensive or risk taking. The simple act of just sitting outside on my deck on a nice sunny day and enjoying the weather and the relaxation is enough to bring that feeling of joy. Lay in the hammock for awhile with the dog. Relaxation to the maximum and again a core desired feeling of joy. This is not a difficult thing to do, quite easy actually and very cost efficient but it will give me that feeling that I am looking for and helps to sooth my soul.
 
Another activity I did the other day was took my motorcycle out for a ride. It was early morning and not many people were out on the road. Nice and quiet, not much traffic but a great chance to just enjoy that freedom of being on the road and riding. See the core desired connection? Yes, it was freedom. A great feeling indeed and it invokes many positive vibes within your soul when you see the beautiful countryside slipping by and the sound of the engine purring as you cruise along.
 
What core desired feelings do you like to feel? Drop me a line and let me know.

January 20th 2017, Inauguration

So it has been a long time since I have posted, but today I rekindled a habit that I have not done for a long time. I took the day off, took Nicole to school and headed off to Starbucks with my laptop and notebook in tow. Had some breakfast and a coffee and have preceded to sit down and enjoy the start to my morning. I use to do this on a weekly basis but when my job changed I could not do it any longer. So it was very nice today to be able to have this opportunity to do it again. To boot the weather was sunny and slightly warm! Bonus! I think the start to a nice day.
 
An interesting day nevertheless. Today is the inauguration of a new President in the United States and I would think a monumental shift in policies and thinking in Washington. Time of course will tell what will happen, but against many peoples wishes it has happened and better or for worse we will now have to live with it.
 
Which, brings my thinking into where are we are going. Where are we as a collective human society heading? The human world today still has much turmoil and unstainable situations. It is a test of large proportions and one that we still have a quite a ways to go. I am reminded of Bahaullah's promise of the
Most Great Peace. Humankind must recognize the Oneness of Humanity and that we are all the same. Until this can be done, it makes many things difficult. The promising thing is that we see that in so many places today. Yes, it is not world wide, bigotry and racism is still out there but we have come a long way in a short time and this gives promise. Promise in that we can make it to the Most Great Peace. People need to look towards the Creator, whoever or however you choose that to be, but there is and must be a higher purpose than our basic existence as it is. If we choose to explore what that is, maybe, just maybe we will discover something that we did not know, something that will bring us together and bring us to realize that humankind has a great purpose and reason to be here.
 
In Abdul-Baha's words:
He said that man must recognize the oneness of humanity, for all in origin belong to the same household and all are servants of the same God.

Huffington Post about A Bahai Vision for World Peace.
