There Must Be More Than This

There is more hope and optimism in my life. I should have a more positive outlook. I have more compassion for my self and less self abuse. Little things are important, I get more done, take on more and enjoy more. I'm stepping up to more leadership, taking charge more and becoming less judgmental. I have more awareness off and compassion for others. I spend more time on quality activities and have more passion in my relationship with my family and coworkers. Instead plan more and do more with my family. I'm in better physical shape and emotional condition. I experience greater urgency to enjoy what I do. I laugh more at myself. I feel more confident about myself. Discover more life, love and meaning on my journey through my commitmen to pursue the greater more. By meeting my deeper needs direcly we are more fulfilled. By not spending so much time, I have more time, energy and resources to pursue more meaningful activities. I feel more awake, alive and conscious. I spend more time discovering and developing my gifts, talents and making more of a difference in the world. Why Do I Live a Life of Less?? Live a Life of MORE !!! Did I move towards my goals and vision today? Did I make a positive difference in other people's lives? How did I express what matters most to me? What did I do that was emotionally or spiritually? How did I grow as an individual? I want my life to be something more than just long. I long to be part of the universe. To be in harmony with something larger than myself. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die...for the harder worker, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generation. I should have MORE love, more life, more creatifity, more adventure, more knowledge, more beauty, more peace, more meaning, more feelings, more consciousness, more energy, more connection, more direction, more truth and genuiness, more self, more of a difference, more spirituality. I must make choices that enable me to fulfill the deepest capacity of myself. I don't get to choose how I'm going to die, or when. But I can only decide how I'm going to live. Prepare to die NOW ! Living is a constant process of deciding what I'm going to do. A vision without a task is but a dream, a task without a vision is drudgery, a vision and a task are the hope of the world.Vision is common to those courageous people who dream and make their dreams reality. When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. One of the things that makes a dead leaf fall to the ground is the bud of the new leaf that pushes it off the limb. When you let Allah fill you with His love and forgiveness, the things you think you desperately want to hold on to start falling a way and we hardly notice their passing. If you are climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you are really gone. Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light. It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up again. I cannot achieve more in life than what I believe in my heart of heart I deserve to have. Allah, love, guide and keep me...
