2012 goals

Posted: December 29, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: daily musings | Tags: , , , | Leave a comment

since 2007, i have written yearly goals for myself. they have helped me focus on what is truly important, and each year has been better than the last. now as i head into 2012 with an uncertain working future, i am in need of priorities more than ever. but i’ve been reading more and more of those who in the past set goals and have since moved on from it. they say it is like a burden gone from them, it allows what they truly want to do to flow from them and they put themselves into what they love without the pressure of achieving. i have considered a priorities list vs actual goals, to remind myself what is really important to me without a specific destination set in writing. my goals have been evolving this way anyway, but it is still a scary step. any thoughts on this? i feel like at least giving it a try; i can always set down goals. that is probably what i will do, but the lack of a clear end result triggers my ‘trip anxiety’. i want to live in this moment. now this one, now this one…

i am pushing and pulling to get some momentum. one step, one accomplishment. whatever it is, it feels good. follow that, chase it.

the holiday’s have come and gone. i am proud that i did well to focus on my time with family and friends, and not worry excessively about my career and financial future. today i am back to reality. but i can’t rush anything; consistent effort, one step at a time. can i stay focused and clear? that is my challenge. peeling away layers and living simple. you can have your fun when you earn it.

work, plus a project a week. the rest is icing on the cake. don’t let your mind try to rush your life. if you don’t enjoy the journey, you’ll never reach the peak; you’ll give up well before you even see the summit. music and art are a lifelong pursuit. here is now.

focus on as little as possible. i want to accomplish things, but i’m done stressing myself to death because i didn’t do something that should be fun and should pour out of me. as long as i am present, what can i complain about? the first step in effortless mastery is to enter your ‘space’. doing that in life is what i am working on. no more goals hanging over my head. love everyday, work everyday. be here and think what am i doing to make the next moment even better?

time is irrelevant.

right here, right now. i am typing this, feeling each key press down. centering myself in the moment. there is no past, there is no future, there is only now. it’s a beautiful feeling. no mind or ego can hold me back from happiness, or from love. happiness is purity. it’s not objects or praise. i fall victim often to a self-loathing that makes me crave compliments or outside encouragement. while that is natural, it is not real. peeling back layers of yourself get’s you closer to God, the One, whatever that is to you. in the end you dissolve into this oneness, might as well get used to it now. the kingdom of heaven is within. wrap yourself in the present moment and feel the divine in everything you do.
