Spiritual Moments Page O' Day Calendar Thought for the Day:
People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning; Then there will be no failure.
-Lao tzu
I was thinking about this on my drive to work this morning, and now, here the message comes again to greet me at work. I struggle with this one, change makes it so, thinking differently, circumstances, all kinds of things to get in the way of seeing and imaging the end, obtaining a success. What I need, what I want, what I AM. Not what the energy around me wants or needs or believes to be a good, solid plan, but My Success. Who I AM.
It occured to me, my end or success has a theme, a basic structure or feeling....things or feelings that I have wanted in my life and for all of life, not goals or posessions so much as feelings.....my goal for now is just to get through the list of chores I made for myself today. My want for life, my success for my person, my vision of the end is more a list of Love:
People
Love
Animals
Sun
Gardens
Wisdom
Trees
Love
Fresh Fruit
Water
Laughter
Security
Fresh Flowers
Freedom
Love
I let myself get lost in the process I guess, or forget to trust. What if I said that everything that I want and need in life is every thing I Have and everything I Am? Then I would be stating a Truth.
I AM
P.S. It is a quiet day at work and BBBB is a real delight to be around these days....Jason and I have noticed the difference. I told BBBB whatever he is doing in his life to bring about this positive change....KEEP DOING IT! He smiled!

*sigh* I have no clue what I am doing with my lie, or what I want...at least you have some vision of the way things should be. Good for you!
The Tao is wonderful. I have a book with it and black and white photography that I like to gaze at.
I was going to tell Etart about this....ha ha, and she beat me to it.
The only thing you will ever need is yourself.
The only thing you should ever give is yourself.
It is better to be a mute moving forward then a rumor-monger gawking at the side of the road.
With such a wonderful list and attitude, how can anything but blossom and grow in your world? Wonderful..
That is a great quote. I need to keep that in mind.
