Season 4: Day 58

The weekend is wrapping up and I am focusing on the new week at hand. I would like to achieve so much, yet I also want to spend quality time with friends, family, and those that I care most about. The world has a tendency to demand success, the accumulation of wealth and material possessions, etc....

In the end what do these things really do? Clothes, cares, houses, vacations, and other tangible things are great; however I know there is more to life than meets the eye. Much has been written and expressed on the subject, and still it seems to be the object of so much desire and attention. Yes it is nice to own material things, and yes they can make your life better. But one must consider that everything has its place within the Universe.

As the sacred scripture and song say, to everything there is a time and place under heaven. A time to live, a time to die, a time to heal, a time to love. There is nothing more important than friends and family. In the end they are the only people who will truly care about you and love you when the rest of the world wants nothing more than to suck you in and spit you out. Such harsh words and merely the facts upon which the modern world is constructed upon.

Therefore the object would be to circumvent the labels and limitations which are instilled in so many people. It takes courage, fortitude, determination, diligence, and virtue to "cut the mustard." As stated before, the Secret to life is really no secret at all. In order to live big, one must think big. There are so many business ventures, political causes, and humanitarian opportunities that are larger than life.

If an extraordinary life is desired, then extraordinary measures and actions will be required. There is nothing wrong with thinking big; the real issue comes in manifesting that which moves, touches, and inspires with motivation and passion.

My goal is to acquire more patience and a calmer demeanor, because I want to live a more peaceful life. I am committed to this and will do what is necessary to fulfill this goal. I can and will achieve a calm and productive life.
