Greetings! I don't know if any of you are fans of Dr. Wayne Dyer's work, however I know that I am indeed a fan. A friend that I both like and admire mentioned how much he liked Dyer's work, so I decided to watch him on a PBS special. There is so much that is positive and also practical in his advice, plus he introduced me to an ancient spiritual text that is over 3,000 years old, the Tao De Ching. It give one much to ponder and to think about.
In case anyone thought I was trying to be disrespectful of the life choices made by others in my last post, I was not doing any such thing. Rather, I was pondering the differences in what makes one person happy and content that in comparison, would make another one shudder should they feel constrained to live the same lifestyle. In my case, I love freedom, love travel, and love the adventure of life. Yet, to another (very close and dearly loved relative), those same things are not exciting, but are frightening. Neither of us is either right or wrong, but rather we see the world so very differently, and that is part of what makes life so interesting, don't you think?
In the end, we each create our own lives and it is up to us to figure out what makes us happy, then to pursue that happiness. It is not a matter of right or wrong, it is a matter of choice.
Have a great day!!
Joy and Fear are interesting emotions to explore. Some find their joy in the familiar; for some comfort is joy. Building a world where everything is predictable can bring great joy. For others, the certainty that tomorrow will bring the same as today is oppressive... frightening... suffocating.
