Perspective. Feeling. Being.

If I really think about my life in a time line and encapsulate it through the gregorian calendar...by years. It might look a bit like this....

30 Years ago. I was born on Nov 7 1978.
20 years ago. I dont remember.
10 years ago. I was working at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore hanging out with a DJ in Silverlake, going to school for photography
5 years ago. I was leading full time life as a yoga practitioner.
3 years ago. I was in newborn bliss with my daughter Leeloo Love

However. It didn't happen that way, because it doesn't feel that way.

This my point, quick and upfront.
Life is often remembered through the feeling of your experiences.
The inner feelings that lay within you is what you create, and what you will remember.
In the past few weeks, there are many ideas about how to accomplish your goals in life for the "new year."
Like...Im going to be a hipster, or Im going to really get on the ball with my career, my body, my dreams etc...
The connection to make my friend, is the FEELING.
The Feeling of Being. The feeling of being, successful, happy, in love, healthy, accomplished or whatever you want comes from your frequency of being.

The Feeling of being successful comes from your focus, hard work, your ability to move through obstacles, and staying true to your path. Or the FEELING of being healthy, again comes through your determination, care for your body, and acknowledgement that you don't want to feel any other way.

For some this might not be new, for some it may.

A friend of mine was telling me about the life he wanted to create on the Full Moon last month. We did it intentionally sharing what was next for us. And as he talked, I felt everything he was saying through my heart.
That's how I take things in and process.
Although this time, it opened my eyes to see that life isn't just an image that we create. Like the perfect body, the perfect wife/husband, house, job, family,garden, etc... And the image of perfect can be totally different for everyone.
I saw my image of "perfect" be shattered this year. It's probably why I can say this now. What we want is usually what we have in front of us, and it's often our concepts that get in the way.

Yet, I see all of what you do want to accomplish will come through embodiment of the feeling ________.


Here's another blog entry along the same lines, by Jack Cheng.

As we work toward our resolutions for the new year, we can draw inspiration from Fuller’s remarkable mindset. Take a look at your list of resolutions. Instead of only asking “what do I need to accomplish?” maybe another question to ask is “what do I need to believe in order to be the kind of person who accomplishes these things?”
