What am I doing with my life?

Intentions
December 12, 2010 by Sandra Edwards, under Life Lesson.
My journals are testament to how many times I have set the same intentions. Am I setting the wrong intentions or am I just not able to get through the emotional blocks that keep me from fulfilling my needs and desires?
I have to keep reminding myself that I am not in charge here, that there is something much larger than me directing this show. The best I can do is observe what is going on around me – without judgment, and have some awareness of my innate stubbornness seducing me away from my challenges rather than going forward to meet them head on.
The blocks – that is where my attention needs to be. It seems that I need to recognize and move through the hard stuff, like fear of rejection and connecting more authentically with each person I meet. I am beginning to see that is the pathway to the fulfillment I am yearning for.
2011 is the year I will have the inspiration, the openness and self compassion to follow through and get to the other side of my personal challenges.

I do agree with you PJ. Guess a better way to acknowledge myself is to clear away the obstacles in my path and focus on the dreams and goals.

A book I read made the statement that: “What you focus on expands.” I really believe that.
I think we so often focus on what’s wrong. What our blocks or weaknesses are. Rather than focusing on our strengths and potential.
But when we focus on what’s right with life, and what positive things we can achieve, we give those things power to grow us into the person we want to become.
