Meditate

You really got to go with the flow people & chill out! Let people be different. Let them want different. What works for you may not work for others. My life mantra isn't the same as yours and I'm cool with that. my life is a diamond & golden for me. Try embracing each other for being different & relishing in each other's achievements! 

Life is about catching the groove of the wave and enjoying it! Your life can feel full or empty and you'll find it to be unsatisfying. My life is never so full or empty that I do not enjoy it. I do over commit on occasion & stay busy but I rarely rush about because it leads to inconsistency.  In fact, most days I actually have enough time to spend at minimum an hour to 1&1/2 hours meditating with a full schedule. Walking & sitting meditation. This probably amazes people who don't know me well. I've shared this with one of my favorite Kens and a few close Dolls before. 

Yes, there are days when I have to rush due to circumstances. I don't like to. There's a difference between having a full busy day & rushing through your day. Cancellations, delays & lack of proper scheduling create this unneeded rush and it has a domino effect on others. I do my best not to pass this energy on when I can. But it happens & I forgive others when they cause it to me. I hope you forgive me. :( 

Anyone who has been on a Kamikaze mission with me knows that I only truly plan for one thing on those days... And clear the schedule all day. Everything else is a surprise to enjoy on those adventures! 

In buddhism the place you find peace is called the inbetween. So... Between rushing & laziness there is middle ground. That is where you find your peace. Make peace with yourself & others will too!

Here's a story about enjoying life!

Do you enjoy a full life? Or rush about frantically to fit it all in?

Enjoy!

Ride The Wave

“Ride The Wave?”

“Something like that... I don't get out here too often nowadays. The daily grind with work and wife, the kids, keeps me from enjoying the surf like I used to.”

“Life'll do that to you. The things you work towards, start to work a little against you. But you wouldn't trade it would you?”

“Not at all. As a matter of fact, the golden goddess on the wave out there is my wife and the kids are making sand castles for me in the surf. You know we don't get to do it much often. The waves & sun. But it's so amazing to take it in. The wonder of living seems so overwhelming until you stop and realize your life is just full.”

“Full? I've not heard it phrased that way before. Tell me more. I'm not ready to hit the water just yet...”

“Imagine life is a glass of water. When you are single it's filled with water & ice. You can remove ice if it's too full. When you're married or just a parent there's no ice. You have a full glass. No where to empty out until you complete things.”

“I see. So my being a single gal makes my life...”

“Before you finish. No, your life is so full & amazing as it is. Never doubt where you are. Just be ready for when the ice melts.”

“Is it hard when it melts?”

“A little, but it's worth it. You adjust when you realize what you have and appreciate everything life offers. Sometimes the things it doesn't.”

“The things it doesn't? The things you lose, right?”

“Yes, but you won't miss them...”

“I imagine not.”

“Well here comes my better half and something I'm not missing... a chance to ride those waves!”
