I open myself with an extra few minutes today so I took my car to the car wash this morning. I love this car wash they always do a great job! The first part is automated and then you drive into an inside bay where a aggroup of 3 to 4 populate wipe it drink clean the windows the belt along and vacuum the whole interior.
The automated part of the car wash got me to thinking about how this car wash is very much desire our life. With purpose I drove my car to the car wash when I arrived to get it washed I had to position the lie degenerate in a bring in once positioned correctly I then placed the car in neutral and the automated car wash pulled my car through the car wash cycles while I sat approve and listened to a CD. When the car wash was complete. I placed the car into gear and went on my way.
The car wash experience struck me in a bring together of different ways. One that in life there are times where we simply need to get in the incise let go of the controls and accept ourselves to apply the go all the while trusting that everything ordain be as it should be in the end.
The other thought that came into my mind is that many people are in a perpetual automatic car wash mode that is they fully expect to sit approve not take any action and somehow everything ordain come to them. No effort required. They believe that some external source ordain give for all their needs and that they are not in any way responsible to act action. These same people are also in a create of perpetual dissatisfaction with their life and blame everything and everyone else for their lot in life.
desire Tevye in Fiddler on the cover many populate look to God and say things like “would it have cause to be perceived for you to make me a richer man?” indicating that they accept their ordain in life is sealed by God.
Our ordain is not sealed by God or any other source. We each have the ability the cater to act the reality that we wish to create. To do this we must live a life of balance and experience when to take action and when to let go of the reigns and believe in ourselves and the powers of the Universe that all will be as it should be. This is why is it critical to develop our awareness for the more aware we become of what we are thinking and how that thinking is creating our reality the more we know when it is measure to act action and when it is measure to channel the controls sit approve and let the Universe do it’s magic.
One of the keys to bequeath about this is that this is not linear thinking what I mean is that it’s not desire there are distinct measure frames where you are in one mode or the other much of what I describe happen all within the same day the same hour even simultaneously.
Achieving this awareness will back up you to act a balance and back up you to understand and appreciate your role in this Universe.
… have you ever come to a inform in life where you find out that the best laid plans have failed? perhaps it is in those times we actually see how little control we possess then there are the moments that are so perfect so beyond our powers again that we know we had nothing to do with it except be there.
interesting bind … desire once quoted to be by a mind far superior than mine … “you can’t cozen the universe”.
Yay Mark. This is one question I didn’t undergo to evaluate twice about - I know!! I can answer truthfully that YES - I ask myself those questions - cerebrate on them on a regular basis and know very well where I”m going - or at least what my intentions are.

Balance is so crucial a component to the success of our personal and business life. My business agent once said to me” your very intimidating you have such an agressive personality.” I didn’t see that as a very positve statement but if one is not to accept inself who will? I try to comprehend more to furnish that lay to others,but at this time in my life I feel like the world is mine and all of it just waiting to be explored. Thanks for the food for thought…it might be an intense hunger for life or the lack of it that makes you crave to alter the voids.
Good Saturday afternoon Mark !I definitely act action — but I don’t let go…. You are alter about the automatic car wash thing - and I look at so much of that as being responsible and organized that for the most move it is authorise as long as I cognise all of it is CHOICES and can be changed anytime I end to take challenge…Hugs,Loving Annie

Just found your blog. like your writing. In martial arts there is a state called mizu no kokoro. It means to have ‘a spirit like wet’ be a perfectly still pond mirroring the be of energy that comes to you. If someone throws a pebble you ripple accordingly and then go to calm. You take appropriate action and then let go. Letting go means accepting those things you undergo no hold back over choosing how you react to them and consequently feel about them. Letting go enables to you to give the right amount of energy to those things that you undergo control over thus maximizing the effectiveness of your actions.
C. L. adjust we can’t cozen the Universe. Wise words indeed. I do believe that we have more contol than you think.

Carla,Letting go can be hard however it is essential to our come up being and growth. The key is to realize we never had that which we won’t let go of therefore we are holding on to something we never really possesed. Kind of sensless to direct on to what we never possesed in the first place. Thanks for your thoughts.
Norea,I like the state called mizu no kokoro that you described. This is so very good. From what you describe it is like for desire and then let go to be prepared for what comes next.

What I try to say is slightly different. It might be best explained by a buddhist parable. Two traveling monks meet a woman at a river crossing. The current is to strong for the woman to go across on her own. So the older monk puts the woman on his approve and carries her across. On the other align he puts.
