Well this is a perfect opportunity to show you how time consuming life can be! Lately i have been spending a lot of my time on a conscious face book forum and creating various social media connections to help build the website!
We live in a world of countless options! These days you have millions of choices awaiting you every second and how you choose to use the present moment determines your future. So how do i pin point what i would like my future to look like? and how do i make this dream a reality!
It all comes down to priorities!
Make a priority list... what is the most valuable experience you wish to have more of?
1. My daughter ( because i know she will soon be grown and this time i have with her is precious.)
2. My Spiritual Path ( because i would like to invest in my future after this life :)
3. Career ( becoming a spiritual teacher/ Guide)
4. Uplifting the world around me :) ( Staying in the present moment)
I generally sleep for 8 hours a day... which means i am awake for 16 hours a day... So where does all this time go?
Well to have a priority list is wonderful and all... but what you actually choose to do with your time determines where your priorities really are! If i factor in prepping and eating three meals a day plus shower, bathroom etc.. i could take off 4 hours... so i'm still left with 12 hours... yet i never feel like i have 12 hours to my day!
Of course than you have work days which takes 8-10 hours away 5 days a week! so then your left with 2 hours a day of free time... plus your two days off with 12 hours...
I love my life and the key to Enlightenment is to realize that every single second is precious and valuable!
So instead of investing my happiness in the feeling of "when i get my to do list done" , i Focus on being happy regardless of what i am doing! Everything we do is part of the wonder of life!
Have you ever heard " its not about the destination its about the journey"? This is the truth of Life! Most of our lives are filled with all these mundane and repetitive tasks that must be done ... " chop wood carry water" .... yet if we can find the joy of doing even the most repetitive and " boring" or "stressful" tasks with a peaceful state of mind then we have mastered life!
Once you see every task in the present moment with purpose and acceptance than not only will you enjoy the task , but you will also complete it with
much more ease and accuracy :)
Keep doing your best and when a sign from the Universe appears in front of you asking you to slow down, and reevaluate the path that you are currently on... Be Grateful!
