Its half way past January now, except for some new surprises, everything is pretty much the same. It seems that we are only getting by day to day, without even "dreaming" of what would we like the day to be. This is getting sickening. If I would just let this thing to happen everyday of my life, then its going downhill from here.
At the start of the year I have started the ONE. This is a lifestyle philosophy just to remind myself to be busy again, and not be tied up with the rythm of mediocrity and stillness. What is the ONE then. Well, basically, this is living a life in the measure of the ONE.
Its start with the day of ONE hour in prayer, one hour in the internet (so much to be desired here), one hour in the television (needed an iron will to accomplish this) , one hour of exercise, one serving of rice, one day writing the day's chronicle. Basically, this is putting the principle of ONE to things that consumes us, degrades us, challenges us and to what is necessary.
Dream ONE dream at a time too. Loss weight and waist one pound at a time,
But that this mean, I am being mean to myself? What about the fluidity of life, the come-what-may lifestyle, the freelance, the free flowing? Am I not being tough on myself?
Well, a year have gone, and I have not seen the result that I wanted to see for myself. It is about time for me grow up again. If it takes me to go back to my seminary style of life just to keep me going, then I should and I will.
However, for most of the time unspent with the challenging ONEs, spend the rest as free as you want to be. Be eternally glued with your wife, cuddle more, kiss more and love more. Play as much as you want with your kids, goof more and learn more.
Of course, this is a ONE BIG challenge. But you can never put your guard down.
