RE·DED·I·CA·TION
[Ded-I-Key-Shuhn]
- The act of dedicating.
- The state of being dedicated.
We all dedicate ourselves to something – even if that something is actually a someone. In life we become so busy, stressed, and sick and flat out lose focus on what that dedication is for. Sometimes we lose complete sight of what we are dedicated to and begin wasting that extension of energy on the things and people that do not propel us forward or help us achieve progress. Everyone is guilty of this, only the severity is different. Losing this focus can be quite detrimental to not only self-respect but also one’s sanity. Do not fret however, because not only is everyone guilty of this but everyone also has the ability to RE-DEDICATE themselves to what is important to them. Or as I would call it – re-dedication to the basics. For many it could be something as simple as getting back in the routine of church or family dinner, while for others it could be much more complex. Like restructuring the way in which a business is ran or even how you love a soul mate or child. Regardless of who you are and where you are at in life – everyone sometimes need to take a moment to pause, analyze and readjust. Chances are you can do something differently, more diligently or even just refocus. This is all very true for me and hits home very hard. I would not go so far as to say that I have lost myself because I know who I am currently – but I am not yet who I will be. I have gotten away from the basics in my life and the simple things that keep my sanity. Many of you know me and know how truly simple and easy going I am but also now that I have a lot of energy and am incredibly health conscious. Over the past few years I allowed myself to slip away from these things so that I could appease OTHERS and not deal with the hassle, but, the entire time I was digging myself into a hole, no, a pit of unhappiness. A realm of failure in my eyes. This is my realization and I this is also my toast to rededicate myself to these things. To get back to those basics. Constant and never-ending self-improvement. I will reanalyze not just my diet but also my sleeping habits, my exercise regime and the many powerful friendships that I am blessed with. Among these things it will result in more happiness and more motivation for the everyday grind and hustle that we are all a part of. The last three months has been very enlightening for myself and I very much needed it. In a week’s time I move in with a close friend that will not only aid me in getting back to those basics but also push me past previous mental and physical limits – just as I will do the same for him. A wolf is always stronger in a pack.
I have always followed a law that I think everyone can benefit from – however, that law is another thing that I had gotten away from until recently. That law you ask? It’s The Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. Throughout my years practicing Buddhism and meditation I was unaware that there was a said law, I just constantly noticed how much my positive energy created positive outcomes in my life. This is another aspect of my life that I will be REDEDICATING myself too, as should everyone else.
This is my toast to myself and to you. Yes, you. Whomever is reading this right now. Take heed to my words and understand the truth behind what I say because we all do it. We all need it. Sometimes we need to hear it from another or see it. That is why I am blogging this.
So here it is.
A toast.
To The Law of Attraction and Rededication.
And if my words were wine, I would drink them….
