Living the Serenity Prayer
For others, it came by listening to certain kinds of music. Some said that playing or singing music could also create that state of serenity. And then there are those that find serenity while cooking, knitting, or even shooting hoops. Did you notice that all these things required the effort of setting aside a period of time and doing something? It was a place they went to or an activity they participated in. It was clearly not a state of being they experienced in their ordinary day-to-day activities. Another definition I found for serenity referred to being free from stress or emotion; the absence of mental stress and anxiety. Again, a question arose in my mind. "Does that mean that serenity is only achievable when we are empty of emotions and thoughts?" Even the possibility of eliminating emotions and thoughts made no sense to me. So I did what I do best and allowed my soul to take me to the place where the answer might lie, at least where it might lie for me. As often happens when I go to my intuitive self for guidance, I flashed onto something from my past that guided me to an answer. For close to twenty years when people ask me what I do for work, I tell them that I don't do work, I do joy. I do joy because about 90% of the time, I am in joy, and part of that joy comes from what I do that some people may call work. I can tell them this because I realized that joy, in and of itself, is not an emotion, but how fully you live, learn, and move through the emotions that you have at the time that you are experiencing them. Now why would I bring up joy when I am speaking about serenity? Simple -- because to be in joy is all about acceptance; accepting exactly where you are, and doing so fully and without judgment.Pages: 1 [2] 3 4 5
