Daily Question, October 12

What do I wish to cultivate more of in my life?

  • TeriB

    I find myself in my head often and the constant chatter and bouncing from one thought to another makes me really anxious. I’d like to quiet those thoughts and bring more peace into my life. Secondly, I’d like to cultivate more friendships. I moved to a new state in June and we are still in the throws of Covid restrictions so its been difficult to meet people.

    • Lauryn

      I recently moved as well and am experiencing the same difficulties meeting people and making connections

  • Antoinette

    Peace of mind and fearlessness are two things I want to cultivate more of.

  • Carla

    I’d like to cultivate a short nap now & then. I currently don’t nap at all & I know at times I need one. Any napping would be a start. (It wasn’t safe to nap as a child). Also disciplinIng some time, to curl up with a book to read.

  • Michele

    Patience is a constant battle – some days are better than others so I would like to cultivate more of patience in my life.

    I am a firm believer in The Secret/the law of attraction. One principle that I've learned is that when you're genuinely thankful for what you have in your life, God gives you more things to be thankful for. Then there's more to be grateful for which He gives even more to be thankful for. And this cycle SHOULD continue. However, needless to say, that's not always easy. But I want to learn to easily replace doubt and negativity with unswerving faith and optimism. It is important to stay grounde...

    I am a firm believer in The Secret/the law of attraction. One principle that I’ve learned is that when you’re genuinely thankful for what you have in your life, God gives you more things to be thankful for. Then there’s more to be grateful for which He gives even more to be thankful for. And this cycle SHOULD continue.

    However, needless to say, that’s not always easy. But I want to learn to easily replace doubt and negativity with unswerving faith and optimism. It is important to stay grounded in reality but to always have the firm belief that, “I am always surrounded by good. Good people, abundance, happiness. If one thing didn’t work out, that is perfectly fine. Something else will come my way in due time. I am happy and thankful to be alive today.” In the song “Freedom” from the movie Django Unchained, it’s sung “and in time the sun’s gonna shine on me nicely/ something tells me good things are coming/ and I AIN’T GONNA NOT BELIEVE”

    I want to learn to never wallow in self-pity. I want to be able to have the strengths to continuously be thankful and happy and move forward. Unwavering faith and gratitude. 😀

      This is a very well expressed understanding of Matt 13:23 …..”sown upon good soil”. Thanks for sharing!

      After all is said and done ( at the current level of Human Self- awareness ) and we move to higher levels it will still ALWAYS be…… “All is freely given, but not freely taken”.

    I’m working on cultivating more peace. I can fill myself with anxiety pretty easily. There are a million rabbit holes I can follow & none of them bring me a sense of calm. When I breathe & “let it go”, when I open myself up to God’s grace & abundance, peace finds its way in & I carry it into the world. Peace to you….

  • Pilgrim

    A creative response to pandemic isolation. Self-acceptance when it comes to my physical limitations in taking care of my home, and maybe also my heart.

  • EJP

    Pure patience and understanding…..

  • Kevin

    Being of use to others who are in need, while at the same time being realistic about what I am capable of doing.

  • Howie Geib

    This question stumps me. I have such a sense of abundance. I have enough. I am enough. I suppose I can never have too much patience and tolerance. Not that I have a sense of needing more, as it can never hurt. I was going to add acceptance. And yet think not. The time is nigh for me to step up and declare that I am going to change the things I can. The injustices great and small, the unkindness and violence. In myself and around me. We need to do this together.
