As recommended in a shoot-off website of Chopra's Spiritual Laws, I am dedicating each day of the week to one of the 7 spiritual laws for success. Today was nonjudgement. I was not completely succesful. I can look back and know there were times where I should have bowed my head and let it be, and let it pass, and I did not.
I also struggle with finding a balance between the work that I do, which could be say to be about judging people, events and situations. I am choosing to look at it as finding the truth. I can do my work more effectively if I do not form immediate opinions, if I am open enough for people to feel open, and yet if I do not blindly believe everything. Its a daily exercise. It can be a hard exercise.
Today, I want to thank the universe and divinity for the blessings bestowed on me and those around me. As this day comes to an end I am thankful for the opportunities in life I have. I am thankful for my father and my sister watching the kids while I am in school. I am thankful for the love of friends, and the opportunity to learn, and to be of service in any way. I am thankful for the wonderful teachers that instruct my dear children every day and all the hard work they do.
Today, I allowed judgment to take seed when I spoke to my ex, and I apologize. Today, I struggled with the idea of trying to determine how acceptance and nonjudgment work. Do I accept the sadness and longing I feel and stop fighting the urge to skip class to be home with my children? Or do I accept that I didn't have them and don't let emotions overcome me? Do I accept that I am making progress towards becoming vice free? Or accept I still struggle with my cigarette addiction, or judge myself as failing when comfronted with my inner demon of stress?
Its the end of today. I won't carry it into tomorrow. So farewell, and thank you.
