I know I was writing about 7 steps to get what you "order"...but a funny thing happened on the way to that writing...this :)
The last few days I have had all these thoughts and you know me...I gotta share them. Blame it on the vacuuming!
I am working seven days a week right now. I end my night at the bar/restaurant vacuuming. Kind of zen in a way. It's a time where I get quiet and then my little mind just goes where it needs to. Lucky I don't have you on speed dial or I would be sharing my vacuuming insights at midnight! :)
Last night...all the sudden I thought...what if this is it? Not where I expected to be at this point in my life. Not where I expected to be six months ago. Not where I expected to be a year ago. But here I am.
And you know what I remembered yet again....this IS it. This is all we have. Right now in this moment. We can plan...we can dream...we can plot. All good activities...unless the plotting is about taking over another country :) but truly all we have is this moment.
Everyone has the same reality. This is it. So how are you using your "moment"? Are you pining for what is ahead so much that you are not making the most of now? Just asking...
Are you continuing to rehash what was or what wasn't? Just asking...
Are you waiting "to get there" before you do your best work? Or are you showing your best "stuff" every day no matter where or what you are doing? Just asking...
Or do you use this instant to the up-most? Just asking...
I wake up every morning and ask that my heart be filled with joy. In this moment that's what I want to experience most of all...whether I am vacuuming, writing or whatever. I want my heart filled with joy. Anything else that happens in this moment is just frosting on that cake.
Do I achieve that every day...in every moment? Well no 'cause I am not a robot silly...but it's the target that I am setting. And like that old saying goes.."shoot for the moon because if you miss you will still end up among the stars." And I can live with that in any moment.
