what you do is easy

i met with a friend the other day. he basically tried to tell me what i do anyone can. i don’t disagree. but the fact is i am doing it, everyday. getting out there and making things happen, making and believing that i can and will be happy. it partially motivated me and it partially frustrated me, but really, it should not matter. what i do is my business. i only have to answer to the god in myself. if i seek happiness, i shall find it. it may not look like what i think it does, but without expectations we can see the beauty in everything. truth is light. be true to yourself and the rest will fall into place. you may struggle, but everyone does. don’t give up.

1 down, 51 to go.

a week has gone by and i have been totally involved the whole time. it is a liberating feeling. i need to focus on being present, but i can’t let my guard down. change is life. the mistake i’ve always made in the past is the assumption that i’ve ‘turned a corner’ and can coast through with success. success is made by being right here, right now, and doing the right thing. yoga has helped with my meditation, but at the end of the day it is on me to calm down, breath and do one more positive thing before i break. there is a lot to do this year if i want to support my family and be happy and free to do it on my terms. that is the american dream. and the only way for that dream to come true is consistent, small steps; hard work. when i am centered, i am flowing with the universe and it is flowing out of me. no work, no mind. being.

2012 goals

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…

myself to the universe
my worries dissolve.

create

creation is an outward expression of an inward journey. don’t pressure yourself to create, and DO NOT look to others for validation of your art. art is truth. if you’re silly, be silly, if you’re serious be serious. express you. the world needs that.

nothing to hide
