Conversely, the will and intent to express and reach one's fullest creative potential, this moment and into the next, is what is required to remain content. I choose to live and operate from such a state of creative discontent, knowing that more joy and discovery is always possible and doable with each fresh new birth of life experience. In this way I remain in the flow of contentment, knowing that I've given my best.Joel D Zeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722320579695770813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552586506974947829.post-6463822981958945422012-02-22T19:06:15.934-05:002012-02-22T19:06:15.934-05:00Being content with Reality naturally and necessari...Being content with Reality naturally and necessarily brings in the opposite emotional energy of *creative discontent*. One learns how to be content with life as it is happening, with whatever one gets, and yet not be at all content to be too passive and keep things at the same state or level for long. My contentment with now remains steady just so long as I am actively living this moment to it's creative fullest, from the inside out... from center to periphery.Joel D Zeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722320579695770813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552586506974947829.post-2742281816993342662012-02-22T14:01:36.954-05:002012-02-22T14:01:36.954-05:00Self sufficiency and the full expression of person...Self sufficiency and the full expression of personal potential are what the Self seeks, the independence of being in charge, in control, and never in need of anything from anyone, AND the the freedom to live your life to the fullest, unobstructed by worldly problems or the weight of many little responsibilities. The moral of this essay is quite simply that one needs both an active (and hopefully satisfying) Spiritual and Individual life, both peripheral and central (respectively) in perspective and focus, where each healthfully and harmoniously complements the other. The Spiritual Life lays down the "Ground of Being" foundation from which all potentials become possibilities, within the realm of what is Real and True to the Self and Larger Universe that surrounds... Conversely, the ability to live one's life to the fullest potential and be maximally self sufficient, is what makes Spiritual contentment with the Here and Now (Reality) a fulfilling and ongoing experience. <br /><br />The reason Individual and Personal growth is central and crucial is that without progress on the individual level, the Now (or momentum) of life only stagnates, and one feels at the mercy of a precarious and often oppressively dominant "outside world". Most live with this oppression mildly, on different levels, many not satisfied with their occupations or the lack of freedom to explore, be adventurous. It becomes crucial at some point to live this day as though it might be your last, and refuse to live in fear. Take bold risks in life and move ceaselessly onward and forward along the path, remembering to smell the roses along the way...Joel D Zeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722320579695770813noreply@blogger.com
