persistence

Do you have a thought or train of thought that seems to be per­sis­tent in your mind — con­stantly pop­ping up and caus­ing your pre­vi­ous thoughts to come to a grind­ing halt?  Per­haps it is because of your cir­cum­stances.  Maybe the cir­cum­stances of your friends.  Don’t dis­miss these things, they’re clues given to make inten­tions actionable.

Don’t sweat the small stuff, but don’t dis­re­gard it alto­gether, either.  There’s a fine bal­ance for these two oppos­ing sides, a bal­ance that is dif­fer­ent for dif­fer­ent peo­ple.  Find yours, hold to it.

I’m begin­ning to write my thoughts on pas­sion­ate daily life.  My prob­lem right now is, I’m not liv­ing each day fully pas­sion­ate about my dreams.  Some, but not all, days are fully lived and reflect my dream for a great life.  Some days fall by the way­side.  The trick here is to cre­ate your pas­sion, not fol­low it or dis­cover it.  Cre­ate your dream and turn it into some­thing that can be done.  Start small, because each day starts fresh with choices to make and your reac­tions to daily events will deter­mine how close you come to real­iz­ing your dreams.  I’ll tell you what — you work on yours, I’ll work on mine, and we’ll talk about them later — deal?

If I told any more now, I’d be ruin­ing the sur­prise.  Stay warm and don’t run with scis­sors. G’night!
