Quotes...

"Spirituality is not to be learned in flight from the world, by fleeing from things to a place of solitude; rather, you must learn to maintain an inner solitude regardless of where you are or who you are with. You must learn to penetrate things and find God there." - Meister Eckhart -

Hearts Desire

Your hearts desire.
Your logical reasoning for saving money.
The reality and your ability to follow the desires of your heart.

Damn.
I need to learn to just follow my heart.
But my heart's divided.
There lies the problem.

However my heart's divided only for financial reasons.
Damn.

I need to get out.
I need to move on.
I need to find my adventure. My battle. My beauty.

Damn.
I just ate a bite of Ritter Sport: Milk Chocolate with Butter Biscuit.
My favorite chocolate snack from Trader Joe's.
And I brushed my teeth only 20 seconds prior to taking that bite.
Damn.

Bored

Ugh!
So friggin' bored. Bored with life.
Yup, that's right. Bored with LIFE.

It's nothing new. I've (not always, but sure feels like forever) had hard time finding contentment in life.
Is that bad? I don't think so.
It just means that I need to keep "moving" and keep my life exciting.

That's it! "EXCITING!"
'tis the curse of an active mind. I need to keep moving. Whether it be forward or sideways.
In any direction! Anything but stagnant.

I used to say that people who are addicted to TV shows and movies like to get absorbed into them - in hopes, perhaps - to live their lives through such medium - the characters in TV shows and movies. Is that why many of us are so obsessed with celebrities and their lives?

Anyway...
I used to also say that "I make my own movie!" - through my life.
But now seems like my film is stuck on a constant loop - with no change, no excitement, no adventure.
CRAP!

If I were Will Ferrel in the movie, "Stranger than Fiction," what would my story be?
It wouldn't be romance. There's no love interest here.
Not action. Nothing's being blown up nor am I fighting for any greater cause (peace, freedom, love, survival, recognition...)
Not comedy. Although I AM living the "OfficeSpace" life.
Not tragedy. Maybe tragedy. But there really isn't any tragic event happening in my life except that I am cruising through life and wasting every second of it!

So... if my life were a story...
It's so dang bland, that I don't even have a theme for my life!

Now THAT'S a tragedy.
