I have to say the on again off again lifestyle if I was financially safe and secure wouldn’t be so bad and I would think nothing of being out of work. Being creative about making even a small bit of cash is at best “interesting.” I have lived in various wealth categories: poor, homeless, taking care of business, saving and spending, and “at least I have my health!”
Now I like to think every experience either breathing or going through a great or not so great time deserves to be viewed by a Spiritual spot light.
- Can I be more humble?
- Can I be more grateful?
- What can I learn?
- How did I get here?
- What thoughts, conditioning, self issues are at play here?
- How can I change my thoughts, actions and feelings to improve the situation?
- Is my personal discipline a factor?
- Am I taking stock of where my purpose lies?
You would also think with a lot of time freedom my physical form would be at the very least tighter. I don’t have the excuse I don’t have time for exercise. Alas not so much. A schedule would work I suppose, a least a rhythm of life going so I am not surfing the net, wallowing in self pity or watching TV for hours and hours.
It’s funny until the release of the fear that the universe will take care of you things can be blocked. Maybe its for humbling purposes, maybe it supposed to channel me to another path, maybe I am learning about faith.
Job, the famous biblical figure, had to go through a whole heck of a lot more than I (I hope!) to have faith that no matter what God/Life threw at him he would survive. We all can do more than survive with a healthy positive attitude. Maybe we have to think about how someone like Immaculee Ilibagiza, and the reality of losing my car or having to pay bills much later than desired isn’t so bad. The knack to surviving your own economic downturn maybe is putting on a inner smile when the clouds are overhead. No one can take away your smile, and it doesn’t cost a thing!
Love and Hugs,
