2.0

Daily writing prompt
What gives you direction in life?

Interesting question. I am not feeling real confident about fully addressing it in just one prompt. It might have to be a 2.0. You see, despite the length of my time here, direction is one thing Ithat I am still trying to figure out.

Of late, what seems to provide this stoic with some solid guidance is remaining in this moment. Being fully present.

In doing so, a couple of things occur. First, I no longer dwell on the past and all that entails. Not that I was really ensconced there. Just that any focus applied back there blurred those right in front of me. Then there is the looking too far ahead and trying to control what hasn’t even happened yet. That pretty much speaks to that version of total futility.

Remaining present is predicated on full intention, honest faith and genuine trust. A whole different amalgamation of thoughts, words and deeds, founded on a simplistic action. That of simply “letting go”.

And as I alluded to in a prior prompt, this thought someone shared with me, pretty much says it all about what helps give me direction.

I cannot.

He can.

So I will let Him.

Still a great deal to discern and reflect upon. Direction is not to be taken lightly. That being said, I will sleep on it. And if given tomorrow, perhaps I will be back to you with what He shared.
