Back To Basic

It’s been a couple of weeks since you last read something from me. I can come up with many reasons why :  I am busy with a writing course. I have a lot of work to do in and around my house. I work 5 nights a week. If  I think a couple more minutes I might be able to come up with more reasons, or should I say excuses….

You know that with every post I write lately I have the feeling that I am doing the same thing over and over again. Even though the posts have different topics I strongly feel like I am repeating myself.  In short that’s my problem and why I feel stuck. My intention with this blog was to write about how to simplify life, keep things light and entertain readers with stories that would either be motivating or just nice to read.

In the last few weeks I have been starting with new posts, but never finished them because I felt it wasn’t what I really wanted to post. So I am thinking and thinking about how to find my way out of what seems to be a one way alley.

I am thinking about some changes and how to sort of reinvent myself. It will happen, I am sure of that. I don’t have a clue how long it may take, but I promise it won’t be too long :-)

It feels good to write this down, I see it as a start of more interesting writings to come. I like to write posts like ‘A life like yours’  ‘Here comes the Sun’  to name just 2 of the ones I like.

I am looking forward to talk to you real soon again, and if you have tips that can help me in the process of getting back on track I am looking forward to hear from you.

State Of Flux

by Raymond on February 3, 2010

smile

Everything is subject to change, it always has and always will be. As a matter of fact, that also  includes  you and me…  Previously I would’ve  put a quote right here. But guess what… I won’t … :-) because I want to improve and become a better writer, YES … I am part of the flux!

Once we realize that we are all a form of energy that is continuously changing, it will open up opportunities. For all of us, because we are unique human beings with unique qualities that we can use to improve our lives. If we use our qualities in the right way, over time it will develop and become more valuable.

For me my search for what would be my so called ‘unique quality’ would prove to be the most exhaustive and toughest part of my process of change. I have been trying many different things in my life, and when I look back I did all those jobs with a reason of it’s own. My latest ‘try’ was internet marketing, and even though I wanted it to succeed, mainly because of the possible ‘financial’ gain it wasn’t the right  thing for me.

All that searching… while the solution was actually right in front of me. I like to write, and always have liked to do so. At some point a couple of years ago I decided to listen to my intuition. Beside writing this weblog, I take writing courses in order to improve my writing skills. Because I am already on my way for awhile now, I start to see that I do make progress. Of course I still have to learn, but the development is there. The greatest part of it is that while I work on this I almost automatically get insights in which genre I like to write and because of the writing courses I can actively working on my strong and my weak points.

Sometimes I wonder where I could have been right now if I had used more of my energy for writing instead of for those other ‘jobs’. I am also happy with my past job experiences since it also taught me a lot of lessons of life.

Now, knowing what I want and in which direction I have to point my energy I am feeling better everyday. Because I know I am not putting my energy to waste, and things continue to get better.

You can do the same. You can take the time to ‘listen’ to yourself, find out what is or can be the ‘thing’ or passion in  your life. From that moment on you can just give it a try. It will always be a win-win situation, I mean it’s better to try and fail instead of never trying and never knowing if something works out for you or not.  Don’t look at it as if it’s a long and maybe impossible journey.

Once you start even with small steps you will get fulfillment from it, which in turn gives you the energy and power to go on. From then things may go faster and in ways you probably cannot imagine right now. Sometimes it may even give your life a favorable twist you would not have thought to be possible before.  I am looking forward to your comments and talking to you again.

“Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.” ~Swami Sivananda

As I grow older, and hopefully become…. wiser   I believe the most important thing I am gaining now is  ‘Understanding’…  I mean  a greater understanding of this thing called life.

Well… I digress, let’s go back and stick to the story.

Living The Life

On my daily strolls across the digital boulevards I see an increase of people stating they are ’‘Living The Life’‘. First of all that’s great for them, but it’s also interesting. It’s interesting because if everyone would have some sort of a purpose in life, everyone could be living the life!
I say it like this [...]
