Courage. Passion. And Karma
by dsmouse ~ May 19th, 2008. Filed under: Just.....Me, Just....Focusing.I’ve been thinking a lot about karma….and passion…..and courage. That is two of my three words for 2008….and a third word that has been a focus for me for more years than I can easily count.
Today on my flight into DC, I sat next to a flight attendant…and we talked about work - and he asked me “is it something you are passionate about” and I was able to honestly say “yes”. I am so blessed to be able to say that to someone that asks, but more importantly, that I can say it to myself.
I’ve been dealing with courage in many forms the last few weeks. Sometimes, we make decisions and are unable to recognize our own courage within those decisions. But sometimes, we are. I still have a lot of things that I fear, but it doesn’t make me stop trying.
And Karma. Ah, the ever present what goes around, comes around. It’s why, when I am frustrated or discouraged or just plain angry, I try to dig deeper into myself and find the spark of compassion….compassion that doesn’t come naturally to me, by the way, but is learned.
Pardon the disjointed thoughts. they do tie together - at least where I am….today….May 19th….as I begin my 40th year.
Sleep well, my friends.
