At a meeting this morning, a person that I have a lot of time for mentioned that recently I have seemed down.
I certainly have been feeling at best contemplative, and I know giving up smoking has had a role in this. It’s a BI**H of an addiction with its rituals!
That being said, it also struck me that some of my close relationships have been a little off the mark this past week or so, not bad, but not as positive as I like. The learning and reminder, you can’t give away what you don’t have. And the last couple of weeks, while remaining hopeful and serene, I have not felt passion and zest.
I believe in the power of attraction as the main means to connecting with others. I am generally perceptive about the vibes others give off when I meet them or see them enter a room. With some, there is just a natural attraction. The positives in them just shine through.
If I want to be this type of person who attracts others, I’ve got to keep the stuff going on inside of me positive. I can’t give to others what I don’t have myself!
In talking with my friend this morning and talking about where he’s at in his journey, there was a great reminder of where I was at before the journey, triggered by an awakening, started.
Safe to say my ego, and by that I mean false pride, was big. My self-esteem was very low and I was spiritually empty. I had little to give anyone.
Over the journey, I have learned to appreciate the good in me, and love myself for who I am. I have a powerful relationship for a god of my understanding, and live in constant gratitude for the positives that have happened. The gap between ego and self-esteem has narrowed dramatically.
Today I have hope and serenity in abundance that I can give away.
It has been difficult to give away passion and zest, because that is not what I’ve been feeling lately.
I can give away only what I have got, and I am thankful that my lows are never very low! I will ask to have passion rekindled inside, and it will add to the attraction on the outside!
The word and sin sloth have been on my mind.
I’m going to research a bit today, and see where “sloth†is on the radar screen tomorrow. In the mean time, I hope Tiger gets into contention in the Masters today!
