“Constant dripping hollows out a stone. “
– Lucretius
Time flies when you take a stand on what your heartfelt desires are, and you just put yourself on the path and move forward on what you love, step by step. Funny how time seems to disappear when you are living what you love and loving what you live. The ANSWER is finding something you are passionate about, and going for it like there is no tomorrow, and like there is nothing else you are doing it for except the passionate thing itself! Time collapses and you get lots of results.
But as soon as you do something for the sake of some other result, then you lose the passion for the thing itself and it is then inauthentic and hard. You get less results and start assessing what is wrong. Life goes away and the light of excitement is dimmed. Friends and supporters go away, and your purpose is an empty song with no music. So, remember to find your passion or reason for being and doing something. Look at “what wants to happen”, and you love it anyway; and align your participation with the flow of the natural movement. Have fun and live in joy; you will find that your accomplishments, in terms of results, will be more than you could have planned. The result is a by-product of the fun and joy of participating in what you love!
What do you think of this? Have you had an experience lately that fit these sugestions about living your passion? Have you had any experiences lately that dim the light by looking at what is wrong? What is an example you have lived that can exemplify either of these ideas?
I am reminded of a way to act on something you value, and how to accomplish your dreams and goals, whatever they may be. One teacher said to take five whacks a day with the axe in order to fall the biggest tree. Another, says to climb a mountain a step at a time, and you will surely make it to the top. And there are numerous examples that say, your dreams can be achieved by you if you just start and keep the practice of making a significant contribution towards it every day.
”...Think about how quickly this past year has gone. When we look at a monumental task and think about what it will take to accomplish that task, we often feel overwhelmed. But what if, like the dripping water on the stone, you took a small bite out of that task everyday? Not everyday one week and twice the next week, then take a couple weeks off before putting three more days together again. What if you actually took that bite out of the task EVERY – SINGLE – DAY?
We’ve seen how quickly a year goes by. Try to imagine how much progress can be made on an endeavor taking 365 bites! If you lost just one pound per week, at this time next year you would be 52 pounds lighter. If you wrote just one page per day on that novel you have wanted to write for years, you would have a 365-page tome at this time next year. It is the constant dripping of small actions that hollow out the stone.”—Jeff Young
Postyour examples and comments on how this fits for you now, and share your reality so others may benefit from you. The season of making new plans is upon a lot of people, and what you have to say could accelerate the process of acheiving dreams and what others want to support. You make a difference, now. Looking forward to hearing from you…
