Today we will focus on maintaining our acre of land in life. Yup, that's it, just one acre! Seems pretty easy, since we go about our daily life thinking we need to care of this, that, and everything else. Thinking that our jobs will fall apart if we don't hold the entire department or company together. Thinking that our child won't pass their math exam, if we aren't there to take the test for them. Thinking that our spouse will starve if we don't have dinner prepared for him/her. Well, I am here to tell you, that today, you only have to maintain YOUR acre of land. I like to look at it this way. In life, we are each given one piece of land, one acre if you will, and all you have to do, is maintain it to the VERY BEST of your ability. If you want grass on your acre, plant it, and mow it. If you want a home on your acre, build it, and care for it. This is not to say that everything and everybody else in your world should fall by the wayside, oh no Sir-ee Bob, this is to say, that if you care for your acre, and everyone else in your world does the same, then the world would be a such a beautiful, well maintained and harmonious place! I visualize my acre with a cute small home. Lots of flowers blooming, the sky blue with the sun shining above. I wake up every day on my acre, and I go about life, doing my best. When I feel a little of key or out of sorts, I listen to my body and soul, and I see what I NEED to be a better me. I then do my best to adjust my acre so that things run smoothly again. I know, for me, that if my personal relationships are not all in line, I know that if I am not caught up on my homework, and I know that if my home is a mess, my acre, or life, will not run smoothly that day. I know that, without being selfish, I need to take care of me first, so that I can be my personal best for everyone, and every thing else in my life. Living in a mindset that you only have to take care of your acre is kind of a relief. It puts the full spectrum of life into perspective for me, and life does not seem so overwhelming. I mean, if I only need to take care of one acre, then life seems much more manageable. I can maintain one acre with ease, and grace!
Today's activity: maintain your acre
Today I encourage you to maintain your acre. Take care of the immediate space around you, and everything else will fall into place. Be sure YOUR personal ducks are in a row, and go about your daily life doing your very best. Move forward with the mindset that everyone else is also doing their very best, because they may in fact, be doing the best that they can at that moment. Never put your values and morals on others, because each of us, have our own set of morals and values. Go about your day, doing your best, and smiling along the way. Listen to your personal needs, and address any quirks as needed. You will find that if you show up, and do your personal best at any given moment of each and every day, your acre will be the prettiest one, and the best maintained in all the land!
Always....TAKE CARE OF YOU! xo
