First 6-days of the year already gone. Day 7 on the way. Today the ocean is as calmed as if nothing could disturb it. It’s amazing how a storm can disrupt the waves and, as quickly as it came, is gone and the calm has been restored.
We spend the days not noticing what nature does around us. When we do, we are in awe, because it is powerful. Yesterday, the ocean could drown even the bravest of swimmers. Today the biggest threat is to walk out there without sunscreen.
I just realized that life is going to be about what I make of it. My annual frustration is because, I’m still sitting on my ass not doing anything to change my life. Even though my running is improving, the spiritual journey, feels as if it was on hold. The financial aspects are still on murky waters, and my personal achievements have stopped since I returned to school in 2008. Even though I’m grateful for what I’ve done so far, it seems I’ve taken a sabbatical that has no foreseeable end. I feel frustrated because I’m not growing spiritually, and my personal accomplishments have been placed on hold indefinitely.
So, what am I supposed to do? Is this the year I get moving, get off my butt, do something more than letting time pass me by unnoticed, and without touching my heart and soul and moving me in a direction of self discovery?
Change happens one day at a time. Habits are created one day at a time. One step, then another.
Remember, just for today, do something to promote change. Then repeat again, and again, until a habit is formed.
Go get’em girl! The world is your playground… it’s all fun and games!
