A Life Worth Living
I have basically 2 mantras that drive my day-to-day, moment-to-moment experience. They are: “What I Embody Manifests” and “Live a Life Worth Living”. So, whenever I reflect on how I’m doing, which is almost once a day, I put it up against these 2 mantras.
The first, “What I Embody Manifests”, I believe to be the core of Christ’s teaching. Embody love, I will manifest love in my life, embody peace, my life will be peaceful, embody joy, my life will be joyous. He embodied all these principles and more, including kindness, connectedness and healing.
For myself, I have a lot of love in my life, quite a bit of joy, a good bit of kindness, connectedness and I’m most proud of my healing; that which I offer to others as well as myself. I am the healthiest I have ever been in my life. I could work on peace. I want to be kinder. I still deal with depression on occasion; way less than I ever have. I want to develop my sense of abundance and freedom. I still beat myself up on occasion; though, once again, less than ever.
By standing up and taking action in what I believe in, specifically the music I’ve created, I lead a life worth living. More than that, I have remembered my key priority of loving my wife and kids, instead of being right, when it’s mattered most. Not always immediately, but I come around way quicker than I used to. I am very grateful for that. I am very proud for how I stand, in this moment, at the fire, taking the heat and moving forward.
To be honest, it’s been stressful at our house. Embarking on a new career with so many unknowns has put pressure on my family and myself, some expected, some unexpected. My learning curve has been steep. But, I know the work I’m doing is important and given how my life has flourished since taking on the teachings of a God within and having that power to affect change in my life, I know that all I’m going through now is just my way of continuing my healing, my learning and growing and my life will continue to flourish.
What I hold for each and every one of you is that, you, too, Live A Life Worth Living.
