Day 3,056

Growth:

It’s okay to create a short & concise blog post. Success isn’t measured in number of words. There is no one to impress. There is only the process, living into purpose. Don’t create something unnecessary due to external expectations you are actually putting onto yourself. Be authentic.

Appreciation:

Today I took action towards closing the gap between who I am and who I am called to be. It felt so wonderfully right! An idea which has been growing like a bamboo seed for quite some time appears to be just about ready to explode from the ground. Is there a better feeling than living into one’s purpose?

Presence:

Wow, the moment of typing up my Growth section tonight! That was not at all where I expected to go. I was aware of my mindset / inner monologue…

“ugh, I want to keep this short because I’m tired, but then I need to write a disclaimer about why this post is going to be short.”

My awareness of my thought process helped me quickly see just how stupid and ego driven I was acting. First off, who am I writing this for – others or myself? Second, who cares how long the post is? Third, why would I care about someone’s opinion of what I type? Last, why am I not focused on the single most important reason I utilize this practice daily – its intent, its purpose?

In that moment my true self started typing, I allowed “me” to come out and be truly present. That might be one of my favorite paragraphs yet!

Thanks!
