Joy is an understanding we all long for and warrant in our lives.
We may wish for the happiness that comes with a much-needed vacation or an exciting newlove or friendship.
Yet when the actual experience of happiness emerges, we may be too overcome with other things to enjoy it. Or at the same time we may be working out of something. I know what that is about as I have taken on a change of what I am. I feel that it’s a mind shift in the manner that we do desire to do something within our lives. I for one am emerging out of an area. Does that come as fast as I thought it would. No. There are times in which I will question some of the things that I am doing and that all comes with re embarking within the elements of life. I don’t feel guilty in saying that as I have resilience that I will manage my life and obtain the things in a new order. Deep down I know that there will be some tremendous things that come along. Slowly and surely but I am adamant that I will not be the person that I was but I am an immerging person or being if that makes any sense.
When ever I see someone writing that has something authentic there is a fast desire to say some words of comfort. That is definitely the way I am. I think that is why over the years many people in my life at earlier stages often came to me with questions pertaining to life. I get up each morning and sometimes I can be my worst enemy in thinking that I have to complete so many things at the same time however I know that in 20 years from now – I wish to look back at my life and if there are two things I desire is life of abundance. And that I achieved as well as found several things that were worthy in what I desire. I recall my father saying that I was the most diverse person in the way that I interact and can render many things at the same time.
I understand that what I wish is rebuilding a foundation (or I am in the midst of it and have been over that last six months) on my own and gradually taking it from there. I am not feeling down, I actually find this writing to be one that is special as I am slowly but surly finding who I am. It is what it is, and for where my compass takes me is one that I know will have failures and successes. I count on how much I have done over the last six months. And yet there are those times in which you go back in time and how it was just a while ago.
Slowly I move forward. I know that some of my friends have had a life that has not taken a large side step and then went forward. But I feel that at this stage of my life I am becoming happier within my own skin. Where that comes from is an inner thing that I cannot describe to you. It’s a faith of being of sorts. Mind shifts do work. But never have another tell you what you should do, do what you can do as we all have our own lens of life. To amend it for the sake of just nurturing others is something that will never allow you to reach the gains. Keep the people you love close, and have respect for your common person.
Most of all never waiver. That is my own philosophy...Yet be flexible as you deem to be right.
Powerful post!
ReplyDeleteJust an honest write.
ReplyDeleteWell said Jack. As you write, never waiver my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou do what you do do well Jack.
ReplyDeleteThe ability to tread ones own path & to know it is leading to something that brings about a satisfaction that is self enriching is born by an insight that not all have discovered within themselves. This is the basis of your foundation, and it is a solid one, you are on your way, continue with our best wishes.
Jack, your uprooting from where you were and starting all over again with nobody but yourself to attend to is helping your transformation and your discovery of who you are. I wish I had the opportunity to do the same, we all needed it at some point or another. I'm glad for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI believe so today I had a busy day and I can't tell you the places that I have been. But within all that I do, I truly am setting a foundation down. Or maybe it's just the changes in life.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of in that manner. I truly never looked at it in that way. I would suppose that in some manner I am emerging from the past and bringing about a new corner in my life. That is a thought that is something that I never had considered. You do learn from this in some manners with the ideals and thoughts from good people. Yeah...
