Balance and The Art of Living

Geez, I can hardly believe that two weeks has passed so quickly!
Some lessons learned since I last wrote...

It is far easier to lose balance when focus goes awry.
Must be sensitive to how new situations will affect the balance of life.
What am I working towards, ultimately?

Those who aren't in my daily circle don't know that I tried to work two jobs Monday through Friday. One started at seven in the morning until early evening and then another started at ten in the evening until early morning. I foolishly thought that once I  was used to the routine that I could still train, teach, do my spiritual work, plus enjoy some breathing room in my finances! Wow did that go to pieces pretty quickly (I have to chuckle at my exuberance and lack of foresight!). I survived for two weeks and then noticed that, I am not doing anything but sleeping and working! No teaching, training or otherwise. My balance had slipped in one direction at the expense of all else I hold dear.
A friend emailed and I was excited as I has purchased a cd set from Dr. Wayne Dyer and wanted to share with him. I quickly ran to the bedroom to collect the set and noticed the title a little more closely.
I laughed out loud, and returned this message. "Amazing the ironic sense of humor that Spirit possesses, isn't it?!" He laughed in the affirmative and I knew then and there that I must give up the second job! I just needed a little reminder to keep pursuing what is most important. Let Spirit show me the right way to earn a living while still walking the path that has brought me this far!
The rest of the title states to create habits that match desires! Since my desires are for truth and skill in the truth then I rest knowing that my desires will be in line with Spirit, and when they get out of tune then the little messages come. Sometimes the voice of God isn't what we think. Best wishes for you is my intention today, and that you walk in the balance and peace of God!
