A purpose driven attitude
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008Hi everyone,
I had a rough day yesterday. I was disappointed in my placing at the USA. The feeling of disappointment is still there, but I don’t feel bad about it anymore. I walked for 45 minutes and did 50 minutes of bicep & back yesterday. Then, I picked up my younguns and went home to enjoy the rest of the day with them. After setting them up with their Reader Rabbit activity exercise, I actually slowed down enough to take a bath. Before going to bed, I meditated and did my yoga and read a chapter of my Wayne Dyer book and that’s when it hit me. The very chapter that I read spoke about what I was going through.
The quote "this too shall pass" caught my eyes because that is what I always say. Dr. Dyer points out that our ego wants to live in a "state of self-importance, but your Holy Spirit knows that the only thing that’s truly important is being in alignment with Spirit" (Dyer, Wayne w., Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling, p36).
That is so true. Yes, it would have been great to have gotten the approval of the judges by placing good, but that is not my purpose for competing. My purpose is to enjoy the journey.
