Clarity is everything.
Keeping track brings clarity.
What a great day! The day is beautiful! I hopped out of bed, drank 20 oz of clean spring water and went for a walk around the lake with Gary and the dog. It was a beautiful, sunny 63 degrees.
My mom needs a doctor. I need a doctor, It’s a sad story that I’ll share here when my mom gives me permission. I’m looking for a good doctor in our area and it’s not easy. In the meantime, I found someone to clean. It’s my lucky day.
Here’s what I need to work on – not taking on someone else’s problems when they complain about having too much to do. Do you know what that’s like? We already have too much ourselves, to the point where we’re looking at the things we do everyday saying what gives us value and what contributes and then – without thinking, we pickup something for someone else. Why? I don’t know, the only thing I can think is ego. Like we’re the only ones who can do it. So tonight, I’m sitting in the clubhouse in my neighborhood, with thousands of books after running an ad, waiting for people to come and pick up free books. Wasn’t that how I broke my arm in 2020? Yes. I t was.
What did I do right today. I may have found a doctor. I found someone to clean and I like her a lot. I got outside and walked. I’ve been drinking all day and will continue. I’ll get some friends together for cards tonight while I give out books.
Tomorrow, I won’t volunteer to do anything that someone else can do.
The birds get big to intimidate the dog. The dog thinks they’re trying to make friends. If only we all reacted like the dog. (As long as we had me to stop us from getting pecked.)
I had a lot of social interaction. It was the board of directors meeting for the Home Owners Association here. Everyone’s afraid because of raises in the quarterly fees. What used to be friendly interactions are now a little confrontational. The emotional intelligence modules are going to come in handy for me! And, just in the nick of time.
Examining the conflict between your values and morality can bring clarity and help you to live with the rules impressed by others, or it can free you to live by your own desires. Whether the outcome is acceptance or change, you’ll lose the resentment and feel better about your choices and yourself.
This is a quote from the module in Live Your Best Life in Module One, where we’re looking at our values and our goals to bring them into alignment.
This week, part of what we’re doing is looking at whether we’re living by our own values or by someone else’s. Some of us left behind what was important to us to follow societal expectations or parental back in our youth. Now that we’ve put in our time and made our parents proud, it may be time to make ourselves happy.
I don’t have that problem. I did everything the hard way and then came back and did everything right. I believe that I live in alignment with my values. Every once in a while, like with the books, I’ll catch myself, do my time, and learn my lesson.
What is important to me is God and my family. I have always been able to give it all up to God. That is my secret to stress. When you can rely on something bigger than you, you have little to worry about. I’ve always been able to fall back on God. My family has always been able to fall back on me. I know I am not God. I hope they know they have God too.
I want to be healthy. I have everything that I want. My life is beyond what one can possibly dream of. It hasn’t always been that way. My secret is; I just keep going. I work hard and things happen. That is what I have to share, more good ideas than bad ideas and hard work. My goals are achievable. My opportunities are endless. I can go anyplace for help. People love to share their gifts and if we look for someone who’s done it well, that is who we go to. I hope I never neglect anyone. I hope if I do, they will ask me for help. For me to achieve my goals, it will take me getting up every day and taking one more step forward.
