Four

I had been trying to write a post every day, and had been having some difficulty. Plus, I had been shortchanging the opportunity to create something new, and had been rehashing things that had been done before.

So I am calling it quits.

Not for good, and not even for long, but I am taking down the goal of writing a post per day. Instead my goal will be one per week, and if I don't get to that, oh well.

So, four things I want to leave you with as I head off to go for a long walk...

1. Be Yourself

Be you. You're the only one who can be.

So many times we have so many expectations of ourselves, from inside our own heads and outside our bodies. Expectations that make us feel that we can't just be ourselves.

I started this blog as a way to be more myself. I haven't achieved it fully yet, but I am well on my way. 

2. Dig Deep

You have a lot of depth. Spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. Dig deep. Learn more about yourself. Press and stress your perceived limitations.

Explore what you are learning about thoroughly. Follow the tangents that arise. Drink deep from the knowledge of what you are trying to learn.

Call upon your resources. Follow your instincts. Renegotiate your contracts with yourself when necessary.

Digging deep is not something I thought I would discover while working on this blog, but during the course of my life, and while writing, I have learned to dig deeper than I have before.

3. Express Yourself

Throw your being into the ring of life, and see what happens.

Create something that reflects who you are and what you believe.

Stand behind what you make, whether or not you agree with it the next day. Expression of your inner being is what we are looking for. We may not always get it right. Express yourself anyway.

I have learned that I need to learn. What I mean to say is, I have work to do in this area, in learning to express myself fully and completely in a way others can understand.

This blog is an expression of myself, as convoluted and nonsensical as I can be.

4. Share

It doesn't have to be online, it doesn't have to be social media, but sharing is an important aspect of being yourself, digging deep, and expressing yourself.

I am not really sure the ultimate goals of sharing, and maybe there really isn't a goal for yourself, it's more like a fulfillment for someone else.

Yes. That's it.

It's an opportunity to give. To give back, to give up, to give, period.

So share. 

Peace.
