Behaviors no Longer Alive

•April 25, 2012 • Leave a Comment

I started readingToday We Are Rich (again) yesterday.  I’m not quite sure why I had stopped reading it in the first place.  In any case, I found myself at a loss to pick it up in the middle, where I hardly remembered the beginning.

From the second chapter, “Awakening.”

What are you not doing today that you were doing? … What investments in yourself and others are you no longer making?  What daily or weekly practices for a better you have fallen by the wayside?

These are questions asked to a fellow named Eric when he found himself in a sideways year–no progression at all, whatsoever.  I find these questions interesting as it makes me reflect on a lot of things I remember loving to do, but no longer engage in.

What have I stopped doing?.. or do much less of than prior?

  • Reading more books
  • Writing poetry
  • Playing musical instruments: piano, violin, flute, piccolo, saxophone
  • Singing
  • Taking walks

I wonder why I stopped?.. I don’t think that by not doing these anymore it has put me in a sideways year.. but I think it made me enjoy and appreciate life more.  I felt more confident and happy with myself.

I hope this book memories idea starts to take lift.. it’ll let me explore more and more books to only let my mind run crazy and create new writings–I can’t wait! 🙂

Book Memories

So, I have decided to begin tracking how I feel about passages in books as I read them.  Hopefully, this will act as my virtual notebook for all books I lay my hands on. 🙂

Here we gooooooooo!

Soul Cravings

I was given this book back in 2008 by a co-worker who saw that I felt completely lost with myself.  I remember I began to read it sometime during the last year of college, but I never finished it.  This morning, I saw it on my bookshelf and thought to myself, “that’s my missing piece..”

What role does God play in my life?  I know he is to play some part in my life but am unsure to what extent.  I am looking forward to begin searching for him again, as I had run away from him a long time ago.

“Beyond my flesh,
beyond my mind,
beyond my heart,
there seems to be a place where my deepest and
most powerful cravings lie.
And they do not lie silently.

My soul, it seems, always desires and demands, and no matter how I try to satisfy it, it always craves more.  No, not more, but something I can’t seem to  understand.

My soul craves, but for what I don’t know.”

I couldn’t describe better how I feel.
