My contentment, my well-being, my peace of mind has nothing to do with the choices I make or the outcome of those choices. My contentment must come solely from my connection with the Spirit of Life and Love that moves throughout our world. It is this connection that unites me with all life and all time.
This connection certainly informs my movements, my thoughts, and my actions; but it comes with no guarantees as to its efficacy in fulfilling my desires. When I act out of love, it is the impulse and not the results or reactions that brings peace. Hmmm...
"Brings peace" is not exactly correct, for peace is always present. Perhaps "illuminates peace" would be better? There is always peace, even in the midst of war and chaos--even if it appears non-existent.
Every hurricane has its eye, but it is madness to seek it out, is it not?
This is not who I am now. This is who I wish to be. This is my goal each day. But then, I have to step outside--my mind, my body, my front door, and failure usually occurs at those instances. But failure is always and only a part of non-failure (success), so while I may never get "there", I'm always There.
