Lucidity

The following was written over three months ago in an extremely rare moment of lucidity:

You are clearly, at this very moment, not living your right life. This is not why you were put on this planet. But you are a human and flexible and resilient and very capable of change. So use that capacity and change your direction. Remember that you should do everything with a right life in mind, everything you do should be value adding, not life draining. So when it comes to mundane things like cleaning, these are not things you need to or have to do, these are things you want to do in the name of higher presence and better living. Bear in mind the advice presented by Yoga Journal in the last issue and be absolutely 100% aware and present in the moment that you’re doing the chores and you can transcend the event into the meaning and fulfillment behind the event.

So keeping these things in mind, then how does this apply to my j.o.b? While the work you do here is not explicitly harmful to anyone, eventually the stuff you put out there comes back in the form of a suit. But I think the way to keep yourself from feeling crappy about work is to remember the compliance and customer-friendly aspects of what you do. If you try to make or mold your position into a more end-user friendly one, then this could be livable for a while longer.
