Alright, new week, I am at least not going to get further behind.
As I get better at being organized, focused, prioritized, and productive, something else becomes more clear: doing all those things is not going to make my life feel meaningful. It's useful to have those skills and habits, but it's unwise to do them with the expectation of fulfilment and happiness, though they can reduce stress.
So what is it that I can focus on, that will lead to feeling like I am living a worthwhile, meaningful, purposeful life. That just fundamentally, feels good?
Current hypothesis is a mixture of the habit of following my felt sense of rightness (talked about in some previous posts) and the approach to action ("karma yoga") advocated for in the Bhagavad Gita. Haven't talked about that so much recently, but I should probably do a post on it, as much to clarify for myself, as for anyone reading.
OK, that's another short one for the week. Spring is here but it's going back to winter each night, the crazy storm system mostly left us alone, aside from some heavy winds and a bit of thunderstorm, thankfully. I wonder what the fruit trees will do, with all the highs and lows in temperature. That might end up freezing the buds or flowers, and then they wouldn't have fruit.
Happy spring to all,
-Isaac
