Float on Floateez!
I think we have the ability to do things we've never even imagined, we just need to concentrate on the vision. Try to focus our energies on where the universe is pulling us without making excuses or being afraid and reminding ourselves to remain positive. Through it all, remain positive. It's so easy to get carried away on the current of discontent. But how blissful it is to float along on the cloud of worry free living.
Excerpt from a letter to a Lover...
My goal in life is to love. Without condition, myself and all of those around me. I have started on this mission by becoming a vegetarian again, quitting smoking, becoming more active, and reading books of the spiritual/religious/philosophical nature so I can expand my mind and open my heart to something greater.
Obviously this will be a continual work in progress as we have been programmed over the years to be motivated by fear instead of love. As I continue on my journey, I'll undoubtedly discover even more ways that will help me accomplish my goal. I do not ever wish to remain static, satisfied with what "just is". I have lived that life before and it can hardly be called living. I made a promise to myself that I would do my best to not let fear be a motivator of my actions. This is easier said than done, but like most things, practice makes you all the better (just as churning makes you all the butter). It's my understanding that loving without condition involves an overwhelming sense of gratitude, a never ending supply of compassion, being free of judgment and a desire to understand and appreciate those around you no matter who they are. It is also my desire to surround myself with people who feel the same way. How beautiful it would be to have a family that joins you in singing the chorus of gratitude...
As I type this, I am overcome with a sense of gratitude for all of those who have helped me find my way down this path. Thank you all very much. I've come a long way and who knows how much farther I have to go, but I am happy.
