Desire

"So here's my advice. Be sure that the qualities you seek are ones that will stand the test of time. Looks fade, money evaporates, and you don't really want to party as much as you think you do. Look for someone who shares your values and communicates well and who will have your back.

Lastly, I don't think you can expect to find one person to meet all your needs. You must learn to take care of yourself in some ways. Burdening your partner with having to fulfill your every desire will burn him or her out.

If you want a relationship, finding it will be much easier if you keep your expectations in line and focus on finding someone who shares your desire for peace and harmony. When someone touches your heart and also has goodness inside them—now that could be relationship material."

Mind full or Mindful?

"Mindfulness isn't a goal, because goals are about the future, but you do have to set the intention of paying attention to what's happening at the present moment. As you read the words printed on this page, as your eyes distinguish the black squiggles on white paper, as you feel gravity anchoring you to the planet, wake up. Become aware of being alive. And breathe. As you draw your next breath, focus on the rise of your abdomen on the in-breath, the stream of heat through your nostrils on the out-breath. If you're aware of that feeling right now, as you're reading this, you're living in the moment. Nothing happens next. It's not a destination. This is it. You're already there." 

-Psychology Today


I strongly believe I must acquire mindfulness before I am truly happy.

Introductory Thoughts and Why.

The best way for me to describe my thought process, as of lately, is that my mind gets tangled in a knot. Not a simple shoe string knot, that occasionally unties itself, but an old necklace that has been rediscovered buried deep inside a jewelry box. It is the type of necklace where each of the chains are tangled within each other. It takes a lot of patience and willingness to come up with the end result but once it's untangled there is a sense of freedom. And if I am lucky enough to untangle the necklace and reach the sense of freedom, I am able to wear it. 


I feel it would be a good idea if I wrote these thoughts down. Maybe spelling them out will help me find new ways to untangle my thoughts that way I can wear them. 


So here goes nothi.... I mean something.
