You know the old saying, “I am throwing in the towel.” Instead of doing this, I am going to take the towel to the beach this week. My son is on spring break and I also need a break very badly. I am exhausted by all the doing, doing, doing in these past six months to restructure my real estate business. I got inspired by the #iloveyou on facebook and twitter yesterday and it reminded me of a prayer day that my sister started last year.
She called it “Blanquita Day”. It was the beginning of my financial and simultaneous health meltdown. I was talking to my friend, Gisele yesterday about the meaning of karma. What is good karma or bad karma. Wikipedia’s definition is: Sanskrit for act, action, performance….concept of action or deed in Indian religions.
My interpretation in English is that karma is simply an action or choice. I would then deduct from this that good karma would be a good action/choice and bad karma would be bad action/choice. We all have made both. It is part of being human. Hopefully, after learning from our experiences we can start to make better choices.
So my action for this week is to enjoy time with the people I love: my family and friends, and newfound friends on twitter and facebook. I also am going to do a similar process I did September, 2007. I took a break and went to a different beach in Miami at sunrise. It was an exhilarating experience that uplifted me tremendously. It was during that time that I got a clearer picture of the concepts of mirroring that I write about in my twin blogs. I believe that a combination of collaberative prayer, faith in oneself and right action, anything is possible.
I just read in Fortune magazine that right now 4.5% of college educated people are unemployed. I am one of them! It says many people are getting very creative to find a job. It talks about a woman who created a website: twittershouldhireme.com and she got a job soon after. Challenges are gifts in disguise. Ironically, this year has been my best year internally because I have gained so many new insights. I feel completely blessed and like last year on Cinco de Mayo when hundreds of people prayed for me to find a solution to the problem of my ankle, I now ask again for a prayer so I can create income ASAP.
For me, prayer is beyond religion. It is simply sending a good thought from the heart. And for this week, I am going to let go and let God…again. We can all create together with great thoughts. And little by little or even instantaneously…greater thoughts can become a better canvas in this beautiful world we live. When we could all feel blessed, the only natural reaction is to give back. I am sure of this.
