Accept and respect each person as an individual. Each has a message for me, from each, expected or more so unexpected.
Money is usually the core issue behind my preceived problems. In my life money will alway come to follow that which I let go of.
We are all the same – require food water air, have the same, a body, a mind, desires. Seek to communicate, to do our best.
Everything is good! If I aurgue with my kids – I am grateful to have kids – to be able to argue with or to choose not to. I left the one job only to find another with a different experience – no more no less then the previous. There is always something to eat, if I take the time to look – and cook, or to ask. I ate at the gurudwara realizing that at anytime I could have something to eat if I was in real need – and to give thanks for that.
Eat before I am hungry, drink before thirsty, sleep before I am tired – to value and respect the needs of my physical self.
There is nothing to fear – only if I allow my mind to create it. People will come and go – with differing opinion, knowledge, experience, perspective, attitudes and values – appreciate them for what they are. Physical appearance does not represent the spirit. Extending my hand first seets the tone for intimacy and closeness. Hesitating does the opposite.
Open stance, mind, soul. Live life rather then watch or read about others.
My mind creates differences, barriers, boundries, hesitations, if if I let it. Be open and receptive to the moment by moment experiences that engages me directly in life.
This is why radio, television play a minor role in my life.
Work hard, with my hands everyday, share what I have with others, be grateful for what I have.
Finally, in order to be free of my mind`s influence I seek novelty. I seek the new, it can only be experienced. My past knowledge and experiences are at play to keep me wanting to repeat a past moment of pleasure or enjoyment – one that can never be fully re-experienced. It also keeps me from moving forward in that an imagined fear extrapolated from an incident in the past is projected to the future creating a barrier and hesitation. A lost chance to shape my own true experience.
What I imagine is better then the real thing. Getting what I imagine also has limiting qualities that deminishes its worth. True opened-minded, in the moment, lifing reveals the real joy and pleasurable experience.
My path will be as I view it. I can choose to see the obsticles and for sure will encounter them all as I watch them come, Or watch for the clear path and sure have a smooth journey.
