Spending too much time on reflection is not good.
The global economy was hit very hard this year and some would say the kind of heights that greed and growth reached we so imbalanced to the natural order that is was inevitable.
The worse for me is that I am not convinced that the global financial and banking industry have learned much from the pain and devastation we as individuals have had to endure from the fallout. Men and women losing jobs, life savings...anxiety, fear, the pain in general has been terrible.
On an individual basis...we can do so much for ourselves. We can live more wholesome lives, spending money on unecessaries is not ever going to satisfy the soul. Grow some of your own vegetables, herbs...encourage your children to take responsibility for their choices. Go walking, camping take inexpensive options. Eat at home, your children learn from our example. Eat healthy food...everything small thing we do can and does make a difference.
Take a little time to smell the grass, not that I am suggesting you get on your hands and knees on your front lawn every morning before heading off to work...but you get the message. I hope!
We are individual's, we need to remember this...our lives are guided and journeys walked by our choices. If it is not happening for us ask yourself why...self responsibility in my view is essential. We blame others, make excuses about our own failures...
I have a huge passion for my life...I adore it.
Is it easy, has it been a given? Absolutely not! No, No, No.
But, there is no day that passes by when I don't take 5 mins of each day..and ponder if I could have done things a little better...more compassion, more thought, worked smater.
Self improvement works incessently throughout my daily life...as it does in everything I do. My job, my family and my health. Not always in the same order.
Wow, how fortunate I am...Bless you all this Christmas holiday.
