Work Calmly

 

I am discovering the advantages of working calmly.

I do get excited about my projects, but the ones that run deep are very, very calm.

Aligning myself with the best of who I am directs a completely different feeling from running down a list of things to do.

When I dedicate myself to the deep, meditative calming work, it sets up each element of the day in a perfectly orderly progression, even if it looks like I am running from one thing to the next.

I sometimes sit down for the meditative work after I realize I am just running around.

Then, no matter how much time I spend there, and it may be hours, the rest of the work gets done.

I appreciate the discovery of how to live and work calmly, but that is not my purpose in doing the meditative work.

My purpose is simply to spend time being.

Once I made that my priority, the rest simply got done.

Now I know to go back to just being.

Whatever comes from that works.

Calm in Transition

During periods of great transition, it is hard to remain calm.

It is easier and more tempting to get caught up in the strong emotions associated with change.

Whether it is excitement, depression or rage or happiness, the strong emotions are always reactions, not guides.

The guide, should it ever be explored, is always calm.

Calm lets you weigh your options.

Calm lets you receive peace and listen for the most peaceful soul-solution.

Calm lets you follow your own way instead of that which is being thrust at you.

You are not advertising your life.

You are living it and expressing it.

Your life is a life of contribution, always.

When you contribute from deep calm, when you know so deeply what you are and who you are, the transition, however different and unsettling to others, can be made peacefully for yourself.

Then others will feel it and contribute to it, too.

Or disappear.
