After a few weeks of refining, here are my five wishes for my life. The fifth and final one came to me today on my way home from work after closing a door. The wording for some is a little clumsy, so please be gentle with me.
1. My life is a success because I am enjoying a life long loving relationship with my soul mate (and we dance together everyday).
2. My life is a success because I am building a business that benefits (myself, my family) my customers, my staff and my community on every level; spiritually, emotionally and physically.
3. My life is a success because I truly appreciate other people in my life and do my best to reflect to them their worth in my dealings with them.
4. My life is a success because I take every opportunity to explore the world around me and learn from its' cultures.
5. My life is a success because I have always strived to live within my means.
I have been living with versions of these for about 4 months now. I have really noticed a change in my outlook on life. I have been happier, more focused and definitely am enjoying the people around me more. Right now, my biggest focus is my first wish -that I would spend the rest of my life with my soulmate. For me, close relationships are the way in which we best live out our humanity. I'll let you know in the fullness of time how things work out with that.
Even now, I am feeling nervous about the direction these will take my life. My own cynicism seems to be trying to block my ways forward and my throat is a little tight, when I try to speak out loud my wishes.
