In determining
what the darkness of suffering represents it takes one to analyze all events,
circumstances and individuals involved in the chaotic experiences that caused
or determined the dreadful outcomes. As a single mother survival is predicated
on sustainable income and the continuity of the ability to maintain certain
basic comforts and necessities of existence. Be they shelter (rent or mortgage), which most
people globally struggle with this especially in today’s economic climate. There is
the maintenance of that shelter internal and external (utilities, repairs etc.)
include the sustenance of all individuals in the home (food and clean drinking
water). Clothing and shoes are a mandatory and regular expense especially for
growing children, satisfactory education is a primary concern as well (The list
goes on).
With all this being said there is the declaration
to pursue personal ambitions and passions including higher education and the
transportation to attain all goals and responsibilities. I could fill the page
with leisure and hobbies or entertainment and amusement but that is another
blog in and of itself. As a human being in modern society we are all aware of
the everyday pitfall and obstacles of survival and the advantages. The problem
lies not only in entertainment desires, time and finance management
(budgeting), and personal pursuance of goals, the problem most heavily lies in
our mindset towards these occurrences. The belief we have in ourselves to
handle, juggle and succeed in these endeavors is paramount. The courage to know
that we can endure catapults us towards next day and further away from the initial
phase of darkness. Those days when we were too immature to understand the
parallels of life’s struggles (thanx for the support mom!). This strength in our vision or our will to achieve marches us towards a more
loftier and nobler cause. At first this may start as a desire for material
possessions, the needs of our family and personal advancement but then it takes
on a life of its own away from selfish needs. The higher cause becomes bigger
than ourselves and our wants, this is the goal humanity strives to reach
fighting for something grander.
So how do we do
this… where are the tools to bring about this radical transformation required? The
first thing is to remember Not to
loose ourselves in our own personal obstacles and responsibilities. Where psychological
over-load sets in and lack in vitality and energy to carry on daily task is
impaired. We know we need a daily planner and reminder system set in place
to act as our administrative assistant. On the issue of regular bills, we know
they will be there accompanying us til our death. This is a fact to be humbly accepted
once this is done life becomes more mentally palatable. At a point in our existence Acceptance is simply the key. My next blog will be a compilation of keys and tools that offer more viable solutions to leaving the darkness behind and entering into a more divine cause....
I bow
to the eternal divine spark within you!

Question: How has a planner changed your habits?

Planners used to keep me focused, but after entering a very dark time in my life, schedules and planners and commitments all make me feel "locked up", so strict and rigid. No room to breathe. No room for movent.
Thanks for the comment Kim, that is understandable in that circumstance yet others who may feel over-whelmed by events may feel that getting their thoughts out of their heads and onto something more tangible is beneficial. I find it very useful to clear my mind and allow the paper to be saturated instead of my mental body...
