Over and over again, I practiced, compiled and almost wrote in my mind what I wanted to type into this post. I guess I am still in what I call my “talkless” mode. hmmm…. anyway, here goes nothing…
Since Yevka posted the Law of Garbage Truck, I started looking at how much garbage was driving my daily attitude. This caught me at my lowest time that at some point drove me to a depression & self-esteem issues. I have been feeling spiritually low at that time so it just struck me. <shrug>
One night, I did some blog surfing (havent done this for months I think) and came across Scott H. Young’s blog through Wanda. I learned about Engineering habits which I took to heart and applied it to myself. I was amazed that this guy was only 19!!! With such amazing self-discipline!!!
That’s what started it… I assessed my life and had to subtract internet & blogging from the equation… as it seemed to have been the culprit that stole a lot of my time and led me to fill up my procrastinating bin.
So, as a disciplinary measure, I put internet & blogging as a last priority. It was great coz every night, I felt like I accomplish so much. I did the things I’ve been wanting to do but keep procrastinating… I was able to ease up my mornings by preparing the night before. This made hubby really happy. He’s been telling me to do this but I was just too lazy & too stuck to the laptop for nothing.
For 2 weeks, I was Engineering my habits. It made me happy… fulfilled. Plus, perfect timing, Fr. Edionne Febrero held a 1 week retreat which was exactly what my spirit needed. Hubby accompanied me most of the time which made my spirit rejoice even more.
I found my ground, my purpose, my direction…the enlightenment I seeked.
I actually lost interest in the internet that there were nights I didn’t even touch the laptop. That’s when I started to think about totally signing off… but then… Juliana’s post made me change my mind. heheheh.
Anyway, last Eid vacation (Fri-Sun), I took a step further… I invited Ate Ely to join me as I tour Dubai with my 400D (for the first time! I never took pics of Dubai with this cam until now. It was all work!!! hahahaha). She’s been wanting to go around Dubai and have “touristy” pics. 2 birds with one stone. Sabi ni Ate Ely nagbilang Angel and Instrument of God ako that time.
This made me ever so happy… I didn’t only minus from my procrastinating bin but I also made someone very happy with the tour, the pictures and the company. This for me is the best thing I can do… make a difference… even in the simplest way I can.
My purpose… my service to Him.
hey sister. I totally missed you when you were out of the loop. I’m glad that you’re back, and I’m even glad-der about your purpose driven post. I too, am being a blog addict, and yeah, I need to put in perspective my priorities. Thanks for this bit of reality check.
On another note, there have been some movement on me and my journey to my life purpose. I’m thankful for the organization that I’m in, and I think it’s helping me discover more of that.
We should chat one time. We need more positive energy that will surround us.
We definitely should chat & share some positive energy!!!
