Blogging’s hidden blessing, spirit

Daily, prolific blogging can eventually feel like a monkey on your back. Hopefully it’s Curious George, or Chapin.

On our honeymoon, bicycling through the Puget Sound before biking across Washington State. Blogging allows me the blessing of sharing what i want, when i want, in the way i want. Blogging allows me to do this prolifically too.

Began Blogging In 2nd Grade. Guess who started him on this path.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

Dear Son, loving yourself first teaches you how to love others.

Dear Son, teaching yourself first teaches you how to teach others.

Dear Son, forgiving yourself first teaches you how to forgive others.

Dear Son, being patient with yourself first teaches you how to be patient with others.

Dear Son, caring for your emotional health first, well, it teaches you how to care for others.

Dear Son, serving yourself first teaches you how to serve others.

Emotional suffering

Soon, these trees will be nothing but pink. Stunningly pink. World-class pink. Why? Habit.

Emotional suffering?

When peace is transactional, everyone suffers.

The key here is to do nice things without expectation of something in return.

When your motives are pure and you are at peace with any outcome, you become the example.

Quite a large space for “nothing but mannequins”.

You get unlimited resources.

Forgiveness.

Gratitude.

Faith.

Love.

Congrats on over-focusing on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

It doesn’t fall from the sky

There’s no sorcery nor magic potions.

Blessings do not far from the sky.

You want a growth mindset, you must intentionally focus on it.

You want vibrant health, you must intentionally focus on it.

You must invest in things that yield blessings.

Same with spirit – peace and contentment.

You must invest in patience, gratitude, forgiveness, compassion, service, humility, and so on.

Small, daily deposits.

The magic of compound interest.

In the 19th century the problem was that God is dead. In the 20th century the problem is that man is dead.

Erich Fromm

What if the only blessings you get today are the blessings you were grateful for yesterday?
