OK, so I didn't complete the blog by this date because I knew you guys weren't both reading it so I decided to not focus my energy on something in vain.
Now that you're back ... I'm back.
I've also decided to ease up on the speed of delivery and post bi-weekly rather than weekly. I already know that this will be fine with you. I'll start a new theme in a couple weeks and will shift my post-dates back to Saturdays .... so the next theme will begin on Saturday March 12.
Now let's wrap up the BS. Literally. First you need to make sure that you've read my previous post from August 24, 2015 ... otherwise this one won't make sense.
OK, read it? Back now? Good .... here's the graphic again. And you'll be pleased (I think) to see that this post is short. And there's a good reason ... because it is an easy point that I need to make.
The spiritual point of life is the focal point ... where "X" marks the spot. This is the force of your life energy. Not the source of it ... but the point to which all of your energy is directed. And here's a fact; when you have a clear focal point in life, it actually feeds more energy into the system (I believe at the emotional level by burning away some of the clouds).
You have probably already figured out what I'm talking about. Purpose!
What is your life purpose? Now this can be the large existential question, "what are you doing with your life?" or it can be the day-to-day, moment-by-moment matter of, "what are you doing right now .... and why?"
When life has been not good for me it is almost always because I have had a blind spot (the first kind of BS) to one truth; I lost my sense of purpose. Boredom comes when we are not clear, in a given moment, about what our purpose is in that moment. It is disorienting. It is debilitating. We are purpose-driven creatures and living any other way is soul-crushing.
Time again for me to tell you that if you are coasting and living without purpose on any given day, week, month or year, you need to cut the crap (the other BS). The graphic above shows that our inner energy system hinges entirely on having an ultimate point (purpose) to which I need to direct my energy .... even if that means sometimes that my focus is to disconnect and recharge. That in itself is also a focal point.
I've asked before and I'll ask it here again to wrap up the BS theme:
"Do you do what you do because you have a reason to, or do you do what you do because you don't see a better reason not to?"
If the former ... excellent.
If the latter ... cut the crap ... that's no way to live. Trust me. I know.
I love you both very much.
See ya March 12 as we launch into the next theme.
Yer Fadder
