Socrates's spiritual blog
I woke today feeling a lot better than I have in a few days. I felt energized by the sun and sky... their power is strong. Everything seems alive and green. I am going to carry this feeling all day and remember that life is what I make it. I am in the Now today.
I'm struggling today to find peace within. My life seems to be in turmoil and I'm having a tough time finding the "Now".
I know all my fears are caused by my thoughts, but I'm worried about my job and finances... it always seems to be the case lately when I am stressed about money. I lost my job a few years ago and have been struggling ever since to find my way. I do have a new job now that holds many promises in the future, but as I have seen... nothing is guaranteed. I have put my heart and soul into it so far, but hte returns have not been as fruitful as I envisioned and it is bringing me down. I am trying to stay positive and not fret. My worries are keeping me from peace and I just want some clarity and direction to go in. I am a little lost on my path, although I know it won't change, because whtever is out there will come anyway... I just want to know now and I guess that's what's keeping me from really living in the moment and just relaxing.
Any advice would be appreciated as I could really use it.
I've been searching for a site like this where I could talk about spirituality with people who see things similar to me. Although I am open to new perspectives and hope you will lend a hand in my personal development. I have never really believed in "God" or christianity and believe it is all a farce. I believe you find strenght from within and in nature. When I stare up at the stars at night in my back yard, I feel very small in the grand scheme of things, but yet I feel alive and full of hope. I am an idealist and look for nirvana in all that I do.
When I am in "The Now" I feel things are perfect and in the stillness I connect with everything around me. I feel the strenght of the trees that surround my yard and the power of the sun. Colors seem brighter, sounds are more clera and I am at peace. I try everyday to have at leats one in the "Now" moment, yet I wish for a continuous feeling of inner peace, yet life comes back and the internal dialogue starts again. I hope you can help me find the illusive continuous presence that I desire.
