The Process: Part III

We interrupt the scheduled blog for news from Earth Day;

Unidentified Flying Objects were reported on the national news.

As we try to be more informed on our Carbon footprint, PLEASE take a look at our junk surrounding the planet from space.

Now once we find your song, this manuscript, these blueprints, we then must find a way to produce it, and develop it into a story. Remember it is your story, your house, your fate, your destiny, or goal. It is doing God’s work; obey the laws of our father, our eternal truth of following the Buddha way. The next step is discipline.

Discipline is getting things in motion. It is the movement behind the dream or idea. Discipline is actually setting the goals, organizing, and then carries them out. It is creating some positive habit that can be done daily without fail. It is doing something every day that gets you moving in some direction. Some people it might be as simple as doing the dishes and taking a shower. Other people might start an exercise program. It might be as complicated as all of these and more. What ever the goal may be it has to be in writing and you must spend time attempting to do it each and every day. Sometimes a regular habit of cleaning your dwelling or your living space can be just as therapeutic as running a mile every morning. The goals can be as simple or as lofty as you believe you can achieve. Much depends on your time, and your environment. What tools, money, or other things that is available for you to use. What are your immediate needs? Not wants but needs. Are they being met? Do you have food, a job, or love? Are you happy? Are you Sad? If your needs are being taken care of, then examine or think about your wants.

When starting out the important thing is to keep your ideas, simple, then start to build in habits in layers. We poured the foundation earlier, and now this is the first set of bricks, and they must be measured and carefully put into place. This is our outline for everything that comes after.

Example:

First positive habit: taking a shower

Next habit: some exercise

Next habit: morning meditation

Next habit: planning for the day

Next Habit: getting the kids breakfast

Next habit: going to work, looking for work, etc…

At some point in each day, time must be set aside for giving Thanks. Giving recognition to your higher power. Some form of exercise. Walking up the stairs instead of the elevator. Something. Then schedule a time for you. All of these must be done each day everyday.

Giving thanks 2-5 minutes. Exercise 15-20 minutes. Time for yourself 20-30 minutes.

These are just examples and can be lengthen to whatever means or goals you set but all must be included into your plan. All of these things must be repeated. His time to yourself can be the time you revisit the goals you have written down. It can be a journal of your experiences and feelings while going through this transformation. This is the process. This is how you get what ever it is you want done. Setting time, documenting, spending time meditating on it, getting to know you. If the goal is getting closer to GOD then it is taking to time to do so. Meditation in whatever form is focusing, or simply time spent thinking about things that are going on. Sometimes it is not thinking about things. Yet this is a significant part of the process, and that 20 minutes time for you is Huge.

Writing things down, and keeping track of your progress is the next step in the Process. It can be to doodled outline, or a journal, or a spreadsheet, put into an electronic device, but it must be something you can look to, or look at, or add to in physical form. You need to revisit your goals until they become unthinkable habits. Like drinking coffee in the morning. It is just something you now do on a regular basis without thinking. Until then, write it down. Each habit or layer is like turning a new page in a book. Each step you take, and repeat is a new course in the song you are trying to compose. As each day passes it takes hold of you and one day you wake up to a beautiful life. How can we not feel joy when all these possibilities are coming your way? Time does heal all wounds. Yet, by processing your time, it can create a new life. Open the life that is hidden inside. It just happens, you wake up and one day you open up the windows in this Process, this self -transformation, and you shine.
