Turn On:
For
A
Usual
Circumstance
ENJOY
TRUELY !!!
A faucet, what a crazy way to come up with something positive, isn't it!! Yet it is completely a acceptable or perfect description of USUAL. ( one of many "usual" areas a person could have, in there life.) Also, I probably picked a Faucet, because I got a brand new one, so a faucet, which could be usual, became exciting to me. I clean houses for an income, financially, for the last 30 years. I am at a sink a good amount of the time, while in any particular home. So, when I go home you would think that is the last place I would want to be. Well, within the last 8 years, cooking and gardening have been strong in my personal life. You might be saying how old is this person. If she has had a job for the last 30 years, she is at the least 50. So, why was cooking not as big, for the first part of this persons life. The answer to that is, I was an unexpected mom at the age of 17. I went into it with all desire to do the very best I could with these hard RESPONSIBLE circumstances. I loved children, I was an Aunt at the age of 7???...and I loved the TITLE of Aunt Susie. It was a compliment to me. A title that meant a lot. I had others looking up to me and loving me. Yet, ROUTINE of motherhood did not at that time motivate routine of great cooking.
I kind of took on the responsibility, without a LOT of what could be considered RIGID actions with the responsibility.
So, that is the outlook I am attempting to state with my saying "Turn on the Faucet".
I am going to describe how I looked at life as the young mother, after the honeymoon period. During a time, that maybe fear creeped in, to the responsibility, I started to hate "RIGID", "Responsibility" or what I even labed as the "R " words, that life gives you. So, no more detail is needed there right now, that will be part of future writing or another LONG story, that I will maybe, edit, some day, cause I already wrote it. So, getting by in the kitchen was the choice I made instead of being pretty RIGID. (To respond to the not cooking, much, till 8 years ago.)
We can either go into something with fear and because of that hate the rigidity, of the circumstance or we can go in to it, with .......
Optimism.....
As humans we are not always optimistic. An awareness came one day, When I didn't feel a strong urge of optimism. Even through actively adding that in my life for 30 years. (In fact, I can see how someone with a job of telling jokes, for a living (passing on humor), could even struggle.)
When going through similar to what I had felt other times , which was a loneliness feeling, because of not being around others, ( humans) physically. I then had an empathy with someone that provides humor, when feeling that which they can also, it can cause an empty space or feeling. Emptiness, gives thoughts of a need to fill up that emptiness feeling. So, questions approach your thoughts.
Then, I read a thought on a daily calendar, that I have. That action( of reading positive thoughts) is one of my first BIG adult recalls, of connecting, with the energy, that I really am, as I read positive thoughts that others had written.
That day on Earth or in Human time, after reading the thought of the day, the energy of my true existence, was brought to me or I connected to it!! Also, I received a beautiful sign or feeling that lifted the loneliness, (or I felt myself, on a higher plane), that was something that always gives me a smile, a bird. The bird was outside my window. (I guess you could say a sign to smile or a sign that I am not alone.)
When I am NOT on what I believe as a spiritual level, I do what I figured out recently, as part my purpose here, I Motivate, myself. ( motivating in general, I believe is a purpose I have.)
So, when I said for a usual circumstance ENJOY, truly. Every day actions need to be enjoyed !!!
Listen, be there, appreciate, and see. A few motivating actions!!
After, one time in my life, really strongly feeling non-motivation (for around one year), I do not let myself SIT, in discomfort, for LONG.
Hence, motivation of some kind, occurs.
So, what I also saw through a common motivating action of mine, I was cleaning some dishes and the awareness that became strong, over the last year, was the fact that I, during cleaning, I MEDITATE.
I listen, for the answers, to get results. (In this case, for removing the discomfort that I had.) To add to the listening for positive, occurring, Then, I read that thought, that I read.
So, the knowledge, I have proved or remembered is that not everyone has the same way, of taking action, to get the goal that they want. There has been MANY descriptions, on HOW to meditate. There's no right or wrong, if your goal has been reached. This goes for anything in life, then you have accomplished.
Now, any usual circumstance you are in, BE IN IT !! Be NOW !! Truly ENJOY !!!
