13 days. Dwell in not knowing, drift toward understanding.

December 23, 2011 in General

Dwell in not knowing, drift toward understanding.

I want to let go of thinking it has to be my way. I want to let go my own expectation that I must have all the answers. I want to dwell in not knowing, drift toward understanding. I want to be open to others and the possibilities of the moment. I want to let go of having to be right– be more kind. I want to give up thinking about me and make space to think about others –be more generous. Let go of my need to “do” and following the “being” more. Let go of stuff I might need. Release it to people who do need it.

Let go of self loathing.

I want to let go of the feeling of self loathing every time I step on the scale and don't get the number I was hoping for. I want to be happy the way that I am and not worry about being a specific number or pant size. I want to create an acceptance of myself.

-Claude Larson

Not a Human Doing.

I want my live my life more as a Human Being instead of a Human Doing.

I want to release the constrictions I place upon myself.

I want to release the constrictions I place upon myself and the imagined perceptions that I think others might have toward me, in order to spread my wings and live the life I know I am meant to. There are so many things I want to do, both socially and personally, and I am going to make 2012 the year I begin to do tackle them, one at a time.

-Kelly Keyser
