what you do is easy
Posted: January 12, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: complete honesty, no expectations, perseverance Leave a commenti 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.

bliss list
Posted: January 3, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: goals vs priorities, perseverance, the way 2 Commentsi’ve made my 2012 bliss list – priorities for the year, and not just goals. they include: my wife, my family & friends, happiness, health, no debt, success at work, music, writing. so far i feel very relieved to not be staring down a to-do list, but instead can remind myself what truly makes me happy. of course i’ll keep goals in my back pocket in case this doesn’t work out, but i’m really hoping it will. goals are amazing to get started, but after a few years, things change and you need to let things take their natural course. hard work and perseverance are extremely important, but it’s time for me to let the universe lead me, and not attempting it the other way around. truth at all costs, and reap the rewards of a life truly lived. today is just that.

put your money where your mouth is
Posted: December 23, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: curiosity, motivation, perseverance Leave a commentwell it looks like i need to look for another job. i had a great situation but it is not working to support me fully. i spend a lot of my good times thinking of how great things are and how if you want something you go get it. so easy when you have no challenges to face. now i am facing a tough decision and an even tougher road. do i get back into the corporate world i despised? i have a growing family i need to consider. do i pursue a dream that may never materialize? struggle is a part of life. but how long must i struggle? how can i follow happiness and also make a reasonable living? i do not expect mansions, yachts and private jets. but i don’t want to have to live paycheck to paycheck, and i don’t want to be stuck on someone else’s dime. love isn’t coming as easy today.

Posted: December 12, 2011 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: no expectations, no-mind, perseverance, the way Leave a commentliving in this moment. feeling each key as i type. no matter what, all that exists in now. find it and you will be forever open to your life.
it’s easy to get overwhelmed. more more more. when we take things away, we see the real beauty of our lives and of our world. going against the natural flow of things is the hardest thing for people to overcome. but once you let go you see the divine in yourself, in everything.
