Clarity

Although I feel somewhat restless by unemployment, I am content.

I am doing exactly what I want - spending time with people and taking better care of myself.

The job will happen in its own time, so I will focus and cultivate other areas of my life.

The restlessness is healthy. It makes me see how good life has been and will continue to be, if I let it go even more.

I like the discomfort of this period; it's a reminder that things will always be out of my control.

That's the beauty of life - it's not pretty all the time.

pink bubble

Ahhh, the magic of dating someone new. Now that I am older and wiser, I know that dating does not relationship make. Still, I willingly give into the euphoria of meeting someone new who seems perfect.

Yes, one day, I will have to face the dark side of that person who is imperfect. Fortunately, that day is not now. I can simple enjoy this experience that is pink and soft.

I am still me

Nothing like stripping away a major source of my identiy to know my true self. The irony is that my career is very important to me. To be able to problem solve or contribute in my own way has been an integral part of my existence. So the job search continues.

I look back to the last time I was unemployed, and I am grateful that I no longer feel helpless. It was tough because I was married at the time. I am more cautious this time around to get into a serious relationship during this period of uncertainty. Still, it's amazing to feel this serenity and embrace the unknown.

Watching some of the reality shows made me see that I am just not ambitious in the traditional, focused way. Although I am neurotic and very analytical by nature, my ability to let it all go is the key to my happiness. I love to ride the wave despite its uncertainty and know that it's the best place to be.

going with the flow

If life has unexpected turns, how do we prepare for the unknown?

It all begins with the belief that we have the power to handle it all. By removing fear from every situation, we can simply enjoy the ride and not worry about the outcome.

Sometimes I feel like the oddball for wanting to just taking in the experience rather than trying to achieve a particular outcome. Good thing that I am constantly being rewarded with joy, so I know my way works for me.

I don't know what will happen next in my personal or professional life. I just have my intutition to guide me, and the signs all points to something positive. The unveiling process is more fun than seeing the answers.

slowing down to have more time

After three weeks of spiritual class, I finally reached that place of peace even with my unemployment.

One conscious act is to slow down more. Not working gives me a lot of time, but I was just as busy with many social committments. I finally learned to slow down in order to accomplish more.

Not every invitation needs a yes. Not every connection requires maintenances from me. This new phase involves helping others to help themselves and removing myself from some of the process.

It's time to look inward in order to make the world better.
