Eliminating desire for all that doesn't really matter.
~M. Zuckerberg
So I've been reflecting on this, or to use RR's metaphor, putting all the puzzle pieces together to make sense of everything.
So for the past few years, I've been struggling to remove people, activities, things, & emotions from my life that kept me stagnant & trying to add more of what was most conducive to a life of service. I've been trying to align my desires with a focused life & I can tell you now that it's going to be a life-long process for me. But through this process of stripping down to just the essentials, I've found some direction & it seems like I've narrowed it down.
I've spent a long time trying to figure out what is most important in my life, what it is that I want & how that all fits into what it is I feel my purpose in this life is.
I want to say that I feel like I've had some sort of breakthrough, but I don't. It's almost as if I've known this all along, but was just never able to articulate it. More importantly, now that I can say it, I feel more apt to doing it.
On another note:
November, how did you get here so quickly?! & I believe my room has an infestation of lady bugs, this is the third one I've seen this week...
& I'm ok with that :)
& if you're curious to know what my answer to the question of, "What is it you're looking for?"
... I answered, "A home."
