Welcome to OBV!

It is quite a chore to keep distractions at bay nowadays, isn’t it? When we’re so used to being what we’re not, that state feels normal to us — and time to be and do what we are feels “too good to be true,” when that’s the state we’re originally made to be.

Best wishes on your manuscript! Enjoy writing it.

Although I would have to say, doing this is hard. Sometimes, I get waylaid by all sorts of things that look just as good. I need to focus on my goal right now, which is to finish my manuscript for submission. I need to stay on the PATH.

Thanks for the reminder. I will go write, now

Exactly. Without self-awareness and analysis, we end up just doing what we’re handed down. Whether it’s working for us or not. A lot of opportunities for healing and growth get lost that way.

In other words, what many people end up doing is because of convention, or some “outside” standard instead of a standard chosen without having taken into account all the noise around us.

Great work.

Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. I want to reiterate that what we’re passed down are not all bad — not at all. But many cultures and religions have limiting beliefs. It’s a process every generation goes through — filtering out the limiting parts and keeping the essential parts.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. That makes total sense.

Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. But I have no plans to be a priest. One of these days I’ll show you my dark side.

What a powerful post. There’s a lot of truth in your words. We often become someone else based on our upbringing. It’s not an easy process to rid ourselves of all the chatter, but once we do, we can shine.

If we’re talking about our selves, then the same holds true. We clean our behavior, or simplify, so that we must grow.

This one is so well done, I read it twice. Thanks again man. Even when I am in a hurry, I am compelled to slow down and let your writing soak in all the way to the place at which it was aimed… probably why I read it more than once. Keep it up Mr. Future Priest

Continued Blessings to you and your family. Peace — jb
