Spirit fun

Being at peace with everything is my favorite spiritual fun.

Have always said the spiritual goal is two things:

  1. Be at peace with who you are.
  2. Be content with what you have.

Now, in 2024, in an insatiable desire to simplify, this is the new personal mantra and guide map:

  1. Be at peace with who you are and what you have.

Why the change?

To me, at this stage, peace and contentment are synonymous.

We get to do what Robert is doing in the above photo. Our experience will be controlled since we are amateurs.

Nature isn’t a place to visit. Nature is home.

We come to know the true meaning of Earth Day when we learn to celebrate it every day.

There’s a catch with second chances, they require someone’s permission.

Guess who’s in charge.

How cool is that?

You know the CEO.

Palm trees and sunshine. And Disney World.

America’s Florida is nicknamed the Sunshine State.

Australia’s Queensland, is also nicknamed the Sunshine State.

Growing up living four hours away from the closest beach in New Jersey or Maryland i thought i wanted to live at the beach.

The beach reminds me of an island or a cabin. All come with eventual ’fever’.

Have had beach and island fever often.

Have never had Disney World ‘fever’.

Nor has there ever been ‘palm trees and sunshine fever’.

Enjoying life to the fullest is a nebulous idea.

dad

Nebulous:

  • Unclear
  • Vague
  • Undefined

Still, living life to the fullest is your opportunity to:

  • Clarify
  • Specify
  • Define

So, back to square one…

Live life to the fullest.

Have fun.

.think .differently

Lean into discomfort.
