The value of contrast

February 25, 2017 freeoceanspirit1 Comment

What have I been reflecting upon this week? Work. It has not been an easy time; long hours, multi-tasking, managing people, listening, navigating politics and feeling stressed. In short, a lot of contrast. I am also in line for a promotion at work. It was suggested that, while I may deserve it, I probably will… Continue reading The value of contrast

Taking things too seriously

February 18, 2017 freeoceanspirit1 Comment

I started investigating “spiritual principles” about 6 years ago now. Since then I have read many books and listened to many speakers. Concepts and ideas presented to me made sense and I opened my mind. I find myself reflecting on these quotes today. Spiritual quotes Brian Tracy stated "Your life is a reflection of your… Continue reading Taking things too seriously

Butterflies and coffee

February 11, 2017February 11, 2017 freeoceanspirit1 Comment

I have been wondering lately why I prefer to just stay home after work and even on weekends. Sometimes I do not even feel like talking, not even on the phone. I just feel like preserving my energy. I feel perfectly fine and healthy. I am relatively happy. There is nothing wrong. I just do… Continue reading Butterflies and coffee

Stress and the debate that thoughts create reality

February 4, 2017February 4, 2017 freeoceanspirit1 Comment

I have read that my thoughts about a certain subject will create my reality. Now, I have also read that thoughts do not create reality. Apparently thought does nothing, action does. Do something to change something. So I have decided to reflect on thoughts, action and stress. Stress - a state of mental or emotional… Continue reading Stress and the debate that thoughts create reality

I did not know what the title to this would be. I just know that for a while, I had been reflecting on a post I recently saw again on Facebook. “You were not born to just go to work, pay bills, and die.” When I first read this, or something similar to this a… Continue reading Perspective

Keeping an open mind

January 21, 2017January 21, 2017 freeoceanspirit2 Comments

I used to believe I had an open mind because I was a free spirit and did not subscribe to certain societal rules and norms such as religion, marriage, divorce, and sex before marriage, the number of partners one should sleep with, education, so on and so forth. I did not have any issue with… Continue reading Keeping an open mind

Let it be

I have just returned from a week vacation in Varadero Cuba. I enjoy going there because of the weather, the ocean, beaches and the people. All inclusive resorts, in my personal opinion, are simple and worry free. All inclusive to me implies 24 hour access to the beach. Never mind the alcohol and food –… Continue reading Let it be

The matter of clarity

January 3, 2017 freeoceanspiritLeave a comment

I often find myself wondering about clarity. I feel really good when I have clarity. Clarity of mind, in my heart, in general. It just feels really good when I am clear about how I feel and what I want. Decisions seem easy to make and I just feel confident in general, even a sense… Continue reading The matter of clarity
