What do you want?

With the jewish new year just passing, praying to god for forgiveness from my sins this past weekend, and many others in my passing suggesting this exercise, I made an "I Want" list. I also made a "How Can I Serve" list to go along with it. I think it is extremely helpful to write your deepest dreams and desires down on paper so that you are more clear with the path and direction you are about to travel on for the coming year. Check mine out and then try it for yourself!

what do I want:

- take steps to become a spiritual teacher

- find calm and quiet inside of myself

- feel comfort and trust in silence

- have faith and strength to feel the presence of the unknown

- find comfort in my own spirit

- de-layer my shields of protection and walk bare through the light of space

- begin writing a book on life as a spiritual being in a material world

- create a safe environment for cleaning past wounds and moving on with life in a lighter more spacious way

- clean up the clutter in my life so that I can be more fluid and spacious

- walk through life like a whale swims through the sea

- feel fully satisfied with day to day 

- follow my heart so that I no longer have the urge to run from present tasks

- explore my spiritual power and use it fearlessly

- see god inside of everything that crosses my path

- connect with the god within myself so that I can connect to the god within others and easily forgive

- find community that connects me to me
