  • On the right track

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 3.20 – On the right track

    I feel as though I am on the right track for myself.

    I am fulfilling a childhood dream to follow my own interests.

    I feel so calm, like I am no longer being torn.

    It was always so hard to follow the career which had been chosen for me.

    I worked hard and was successful, but I never felt relaxed about it or thought it was my given direction.

    The peace I am feeling is deep.

    It is so simple.

    I am grateful to have overcome the deep obstacles about being myself.

    It is so much simpler to be doing this.

    I love me.

  • There may be periods of boredom or frustration before new possibilities appear along my life-path.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #8 There may be periods of boredom or frustration before new possibilities appear along my life-path.

    My path requires refinement as I walk along it.

    I do not want to repeat myself at the same skill level every day.

    I want to improve.

    I also do not want to remain at the same mental level day after day.

    I want new insights.

    In order to become fluent in a skill, I know I must practice it.

    Sometimes the practice can feel boring if I just go through the motions.

    I must bring attentiveness to each repetition.

    As I increase my awareness, I overcome frustration and boredom.

    I become willing to practice, to create the repetitions, until I gain strength and fluency.

    As I wrestle with a new idea, it may  seem impervious to me.

    I just cannot get it.

    I know I must look at it a different way.

    I must find a way to stay engaged.

    Little by little, as I continue thinking about it, some new aspect will emerge.

    A tiny entry point will appear, so that I can gain some understanding.

    It is important to me that I feel a sense of progress.

    It may not happen every day, but I know with practice, I will develop my new skills.

    I will be able to explore new possibilities as I gain experience with my new skills.

    I will be faithful so that I do not skip any details.

    I am willing to become excellent.

    I will find new ways to apply myself so that I can improve my life.

    It is important to me to expand the possibilities for myself.

    It is important to me to be able to inspire others.

  • Comfort of not rushing

    Comfort #7 – Comfort of not rushing.

    It has taken me a long time to quit pressuring myself to do things.

    I had acquired every strategy for getting multiple things done in an intense choreography.

    Now, I allow myself to take my time.

    I even consciously walk slowly around my apartment.

    After a lifetime of rushing, it feels like a complete luxury not to do so.

    Taking a deep breath allows me to slow down.

    I can observe what is going on without getting caught up in the rush.

    I can comfort myself with a cup of tea as I watch the sunlight.

    I can pause in my reading to look up from time to time.

    I can listen for the next idea as I sit down to write.

    With my new view, I can see how caught up I was in the atmosphere around me.

    I choose to make my own atmosphere now.

    I choose the elements which comfort me.

    I move at my own pace.

    I choose different ways of doing things which allow me to remain calm.

    I take the time to add happiness into my day.

    Even small moments allow me to become calm.

    I especially include things I love to do.

    I have continuing projects which allow me to move into happiness and calm.

    I love having the opportunity to reflect.

    I have chosen to have enough.

    I am surrounded by enough.

    In my feeling of enough, I do not rush.

    What I love is having control over my time.

    I live in the comfort of not rushing, of doing what I love to do, one breath at a time.
