You Are Doing Just Fine

I am taking time from my playlist listening.. new playlist, listen here.. to do a post.  I won't have time to do more blog format work till Sunday.  I'm in a work cycle connected to a surgery coming that is sucking up all my time in work to cover expenses.  But, I wanted to take a moment to do this post.... short one, but I think needed.  Most of my posts are philosophical, but here's a practical one.

I know you are feeling overwhelmed at times.  It is only magnified in the holidays.  But... Here's to us, as Halestorm sings.  You are doing a great job and are to be celebrated just for taking a step forward and believing in hope.  I know it seems dark, and I know you feel tired.  Don't judge your days based on whether you can escape that.  Struggle against darkness and striving for success is the same steps, only with a different perspective.

Just keep going.  Breathe.  Look for happy moments or make them.  Expect your life to change.  Make effort in that direction.  You can make it through, and you are not alone.  People don't talk about it, but every generation has been where you are, right now.  One day, you'll be an "elder" to advise others on how to make it through.  But, I'm just here to say.. it's ok.  You're doing just fine.  Tomorrow will be better.  Forward to happiness.

Follow Your Bliss

I think it was a couple years ago that I first discovered Joseph Campbell.  I had heard the phrase "follow your bliss" but hadn't given it much thought til that moment.  It just sounded like a holiday card that seemed too impractical.  But, upon digging into it and applying it to my life, it became one log in the fire upon which my self esteem and direction was formed. " Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else " So many people walk around saying to others and themselves that they do...

Reframe Happiness

When you “reframe” something, it doesn’t always mean to be delusional about it… though some move in that direction.  They don’t accept reality, so they change their perception of reality to fit their circumstances.  Indeed, I got into several past bad social connections with people because I reframed their lack of effort, empathy, or romantic actions to be just that it was underneath but just not seen.  But.. to quote the Bible (not as a holy source but collection of passed down maxims on life), faith without works is dead.  What it means is if you can’t see its effects in some way, it’s not there.  That’s not just true of faith but is a life application principle for judging what is or is not, as well.  Even Jesus said to judge a plant by its presence of fruit… love, joy, peace, patience, etc.. or not.   But, what if the FRUIT and TRUTH suggests a path is not functioning to bring you happiness?  Then, you might want to reframe what you NEED to be...
