Hard work

My personal and spiritual energy is a scarce resource

Ensuring that this scarce resource is used in the best possible way 

Is a challenge that I (and most people, knowingly or unknowingly) face everyday.  

Giving too much of myself to people, thoughts, actions

that take away and empty my batteries

rather than help to recharge them again  

just doesn't make sense...  

Simple economics! 

So I've been choosing to rather invest it in positive areas of my life:

My wife  

My children

My self

My work

So... 

I choose to be positive

I choose to have fun 

I choose to love

I choose to laugh

I choose to live

I choose to not allow others to make the choice for me. 

I choose consciously,

and I choose lovingly.

Irregular Blogger Found...

On 4 May 2010, an irregular blogger was found

He was thinking about life, love and everything else,

And he felt bad for not blogging for quite a while.

And then he realised that whilst he hasn't been blogging,

He has been keeping a journal and enjoying the practice of writing

rather than typing...

Upon further reflection, this irregular blogger also admitted to himself

that he should spend more time reflecting

and less time reflecting on reflecting

because the latter was more distracting and imbued with guilt

whilst the former usually induced a sense of peace

And so, now, for purely selfish reasons

And looking for more peace

The irregular blogger will make no promises to the world

And he will be kind of his self

And look forward to future reflections

And revelations...

Please pray for the irregular blogger...

The hunger

 If the thirst for knowledge is not quenched

understanding is replaced by ignorance

and empathy replaced by apathy

The resulting infertile mind allows

the parasitical ego to grow

on top of, and in spite of, your self.

So quench your thirst

and pay heed to the bibles you pick

for they will be the maps

that will help guide

your life and spiritual journey

But, for goodness sake...

Drink something!
