Just did another 100 Roman Chair situps in sets of 25
and another 100 squats in sets of 25
My "assemblage point"
or some other mysterious aspect of myself has shifted
I feel much, much better!
I have these cool little 'stick em' note papers FILLED with small 25, 25, 25, 25
and then a dark bar between the sets of 100. I like looking at those notes as they tell the story of my fierce determination to better myself.
I just tried a new recipe for a
Peach Smoothie
Some organic peach juice, some organic frozen peach slices, 1 egg and a small peach snack cup in cling syrup
AWESOME!!!
I am learning that when dealing the the Universal Creation Force of Intent it is quite common to be periodically 'slapped' down by the circumstances of life. I am learning that this is a common thing and not to be taken as total failure and the end of all progress; although it can often seem that way at the time.
Such disciplinary action from Intent can be considered 'love taps'. It is a time for regrouping and re-clarifying whatever it may be that one is Intending to accomplish.
I choose to believe that being periodically slapped down by Intent is good for me in some mysterious way. Well it keeps me humble, if nothing else. It also forces me to reevaluate EVERYTHING I currently believe in and to become more determined than ever to SIMPLIFY my beliefs and make them easier to manage.
Within the last couple of days I have once again been slapped down by the Creative Force of Intent. This time I am recovering more quickly than ever and realizing that this did not happen by accident. This is all part of the Big Picture plan of my life.
I can clearly see that it takes a lot of strength to not take such a slapping personally and to treat it as a gift rather than a curse
I am reminded of one of my old Martial Arts instructors. He told me that when he was a boy his older brother would often catch him completely off-guard and slam him in the chest, with his forearm, knocking all the wind out of him. He resented this until one day, when he was older, his brother did it again and he was instantly ready. The wind wasn't knocked out of him and his brother smiled and nodded to him with respect. His older brother was training him to be ready for anything at anytime; to never let down his guard. Through the process his older brother toughened him up. The quicker he recovered from his brother's onslaught the tougher he got.
Somehow I now see a parallel with this story and what the Spirit of Intent is doing to me in order to toughen me up. It used to take me a lot longer to pull myself back together after such a slap. This time around I feel I am learning that I waste too much unnecessary energy feeling unfairly treated and defeated. I would imagine that my martial arts instructor felt that way in the beginning of his brother's way of toughening him up. Gradually, as he grew stronger, he was grateful to his brother for the important lesson about always being as ready as possible for anything at anytime.
