Creating my Life Handbook
February 17, 2011
i am in the initial phases of creating my life handbook.
i’ve been reading the The Personal Excellence Blog for months now but it’s only very recently that i felt the need to create a life handbook.
why?
i just feel afloat and strewn everywhere.
i work. i eat. i play. i pray.
i have to-do-lists.
i do a lot of things.
i have a lot of dreams (which mostly get strewn away from my memory).
i want to change my life but feel stagnated everyday.
i want to blog but can’t find the time and energ.
i do things that are sometimes violating my free-will.
i keep myself busy but i can’t seem to feel accomplished at the end of the day.
i neglect the more important facets of life like relationships, friendships and family.
i feel into the situation but not into ME. (this one is a sad and scary thought…)
and i feel that i have so much potential but i can’t seem to expand the way i should be.
so many reasons. so many restrictions. it felt like being afloat and tugged by the current.
and to think i have my life in control.
these are just simple realizations about life. i didn’t know that there’s so much and so many things i neglect just because i didn’t have a lighthouse to guide my ship. of course, i have God and my relationship with God. but it doesn’t make me any more grounded than i should have if i had a lampost to guide my path. i realized that my God can only do so much for me, but i have to pilot my ship on my own.
life and time is passing me by.
tomorrow is a new day. so i have to do it and act on it.
and honestly, I AM EXCITED.
