The words in this week’s post came from Dr. Srikumar Rao, creator of the Creative & Personal Mastery (CPM) course I started this morning.
Here’s what the sky looked like as we began:
It was literally the dawn of a new chapter in my life.
“The only thing you ever do in life is to work on yourself,” Dr. Rao explained.
You might say you are a leader, artist, parent or community activist.
In reality, you are a being who is seeking to “be” in a state of joy, bliss and passion.
This is not how most people, including me, typically think about our lives. We do stuff. We have obligations, commitments, overloaded schedules.
I may have previously mentioned The Surrender Experiment, by Michael Singer. It’s a book that, for me, keeps coming up a lot in recent weeks. The basic idea is that when we surrender to the Universe, the Universe takes care of our needs. Not in a lazy “you just watch TV and I’ll cook dinner” way, but in a way that when you don’t know how to pay for the retreat center you are trying to build, the money will arrive just in time to pay for a month’s worth of lumber.
Work on yourself, and trust the Universe.
Even typing those words, I feel slightly uncomfortable.
I’d love to believe this. But my logical mind still pushes back, “Are you kidding me?”
So let me simply suggest that we all ponder how we might work on ourselves this lifetime.
Maybe by our next issue, my logical mind will learn how to be polite and shut up occasionally.
It’s just saying “Meet yourself “. As you mentioned, we have obligations, commitments & schedule to attend to yet behind this busy activities, we lost oneself. Oneself to look to what we really wanted, to break away from overloaded tasks. As I aged, cut all my workload, finding myself from the lost time of what I wanted. I read, watch news, documentaries & telenovelas.
Meet my neighborhood & shared our experiences. Living is life. Life is living.
We have to treasure each moment that only to keep ourselves in a healthy & peaceful way.
