What are your goals? No, not how much money you want to make. Or how big of a house you want to buy. Why are you here reading this? I ask rhetorically because I believe you have a spiritual goal or else you would not be reading this post.
I also believe that if you have been practicing the exercises we learned together, you are feeling less magnetic attraction pulling you toward the pile of money or the big house, though you may be piling up money as a result of your practicing! But I bet it is not the tantalizing goal dangling in front of your nose that it used to be.
This little essay is about a side effect of the practices we have worked on. Tell me if you notice that when you do the exercises, you have less fear. Fear of that daily background buzz of uncomfortableness the world delivers a steady diet of every day.
A student/teacher (we are all both all the time!) told me recently that the fear in her daily life is going by the wayside. She is slowly materializing into a fearless woman after years of not being very fearless, and she credits these simple exercises.
Think about the many side benefits we may be getting when we practice. Now is the time to re-double the work and the I Love You's and the forgiveness thoughts. Now is all there is, for we will NOT be content with FUTURE happiness!

Excellent way to put it all in perspective. Thanks for this thought! Living above the steady diet of unease is a very worthy calling!
