In Building It and the 3Fs, I suggested ” This is a time of building the launch pad. The few weeks vacay in August ahead of a new College year will be not unlike moving the rocket to the pad. Then, we go!”
These days now are filled with getting “ready”. To that point, yesterday I shared on Friendliness, Generosity, Gentleness, Grace and Gratitude… in expressing thoughts on science and religion. Today, amidst waking from multiple powerful dreams to be discerned (a rarity and a calling of sorts, I feel), I am realizing the importance of these 5 virtues in being “ready”.
I am realizing the importance of these 5 virtues in practicing the 5 strategies of The Virtues Project.
Friendliness, Generosity, Gentleness, Grace and Gratitude … in being my own best friend. This is what is speaking to me and, amidst writing this, I stumble upon these 4 hours of ambient music for deep focus. Yum.
Bottom line is this week I have had many reminders of the precious thing that is life. I think my dreams have something to say. I think we need be that best friend to ourselves… to be our own best companion. I know that I do. Our best value is found in ourselves, by ourselves. Until we find it, no one else can.
How would your best friend listen to you, accept you, bring wisdom to you? How would your best friend be your best friend? Be that. I know that these 3 weeks in August on my “vacay with God” will be all about that.
Insh’allah.
Peace, passion and prosperity…
