What I want
What’s true for me is that everything I do has to do with spiritual growth; all the other categories, but when talking about this stuff, it was easier to create it’s own category anyway.
Balance; balance of friends, family, work, health; that is my goal in life. I know folks who are really good at one or two of these things, but I want to be great at all of them. Asking too much? Maybe, but it doesn’t change that’s what I want. I’d be lying to myself to say otherwise.
How am I doing so far? Well, my health is better, but not great; my music is very good, but not great; my family relationships are very good, almost great; my friend relationships are good, not great; I feel pretty good about myself a good part of the time; I’m relaxed over 50% of the time; I feel loving towards myself and others over 60% of the time; I’m bringing in a fair amount of money, almost good (playing music); I’m living my dream about 75% of the time.
I’ve clearly got a ways to go, which, again, is irreleveant to this is what I want. I believe that being loving is the key. The more loving I can be to myself and others, and keep practicing at those skills I want to be great at, which is part of being loving to myself, I can get there.
Anyone out there want to discuss how they’re doing? What’s important to you and how’s your progress going. Let’s support each other in having what we want.
