Affirmation for September 16, 2011: Working with What Life Throws at Us
Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with. - Robert Frost
Thought of the Day:
Sometimes it feels like the world is asking so much of us. We feel forced to conform completely ourselves, our lives, our hobbies, and in some cases, our personality to the pressures that the real world puts on us. When was the last time you picked up that book you were reading? strummed that dusty guitar? had a chance to breathe? These are feelings and questions we ask ourselves and realize that we've lost who we are in the business of our work, school, and the like. We feel like we just want to burst out of this cycle of our daily routines, grab our guitars, and strum as loudly as possible!Stepping back and looking at our situation and our urges, we have to consider how this would effect those around us. Not to say we should conform completely to the confines that society puts on us, but to find a compromise. Satisfy yourself while satisfying society. Schedule and hour or so of "you" time. Whether it be sketching in your journal, meditating, or playing on that old po-go stick you bought from a garage sale just for old time's sake, you can do anything in your day if you just make time for it. You, yourself, are just as important as that 8 a.m. meeting you rush to every week - maybe more.
Enjoy Today!
