I've spent so much of my life immersed in the spiritual, perfecting my meaning and purpose but the world keeps going by. for me, the quest is physical.<br /><br />aligning the material communication of who I am (what I wear, my hair, taking care of myself and not feeling guilty or selfish for doing so)... it's this huge process, unfamiliar to me in this new stage of my life. both elements are so important and not at all in the ways that I thought.<br /><br />you inspire me greatly time and time again in so many ways. it's an honour to know you!!!juliana_babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787116333128811907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-63680985267903493322011-12-11T06:16:51.671-08:002011-12-11T06:16:51.671-08:00Beckie,
Thank you so much! That is truly so sweet...Beckie,<br />Thank you so much! That is truly so sweet. And awesome that you know your purpose here. I will check out that book, love all works by the Dalai Lama! Thanks!<br /><br />Rain,<br />I knew you would love.<br /><br />Toni,<br />Writing these things, and reading them over and over is also my personal reminder. I too can get into petty arguments when Im being selfish, and the worst part is when I know Im doing it. I think we all do at times. And I too am still searching for that deep rooted purpose, and maybe we dont know it b/c its not in our lives just yet. Just stay open to yourself and the world around and to changing yourself as you can, in small doses. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing girls!Roots and Feathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749205578208874880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-88860359030946609052011-12-11T01:11:08.654-08:002011-12-11T01:11:08.654-08:00Wow. Here I am thinking about how crap everything...Wow. Here I am thinking about how crap everything is since I got sick. I go through waves of being positive and pro-active and then fall in a heap again. I was just wallowing around tonight, getting in petty arguments with my husband....I have to stop thinking that I am the only one in all of this. <br /><br />I really admire how you reflect on our need to feel purposeful. I totally understand it, I even feel it myself. I just don't know how to achieve it...I don't even know where to begin. I have been really focusing on this very fact lately as I'm sure it would assist me in getting well again. Maybe I just need to look at the bigger picture, the others around me and not just myself. <br /><br />Thanks for getting the wheels turning in my head ;) You are a remarkable human Laura, I admire your strength and intelligence.<br />Toni xoLost Cabin Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12474401631315979558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-15150610032779373672011-12-10T22:11:43.512-08:002011-12-10T22:11:43.512-08:00lovely series! i love deep, introspective quotes a...lovely series! i love deep, introspective quotes and then hearing your heart along with them. looking forward to more. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451337545306011433.post-1519172979976702642011-12-10T16:57:38.142-08:002011-12-10T16:57:38.142-08:00Well, what I can say is that while you continue to...Well, what I can say is that while you continue to search for a bigger purpose (or deeper) I hope you realize that you still fulfill a purpose in a lot of people's lives with this blog here. The things you say and the life you live are all very inspiring to me, and I'm sure to many other readers (as far as I can tell from comments people leave you!) And while this may not be the deeper purpose you are looking for, it's still a purpose--and it's in addition to what you do with your art. I guess my point is that your life already matters on a larger scale. : ]<br /><br />As for me! I believe my purpose lies in helping people (I do have a degree in Sociology after all haha). How exactly I will do that remains to be seen. I want an established life first--I guess you could say I'm being selfish, but I can't deny that that's where I'm at right now. BUT! It still doesn't take away from the influence I've had on some people so far, which means SO much to me.<br /><br />In one of my last classes in school our "textbook" was a bunch of chapters from different books, so I can't vouch for the whole book, but I think you might enjoy reading 'Live in a Better Way: Reflections on Truth, Love and Happiness; His Holiness the Dalai Lama'. It's not directly related to your post but it touches on the subject here and there and is inspiring just the same. : ]<br /><br />Whew! That was long enough to be my own blog post! Sorry you had to read all that! And I'm looking forward to more posts like this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
