Do as Thou Wilt:
First, let me just mention that I once again massacre'd H in this zombie game, to his mild dismay. I pwn that game and defy anyone to challenge me.
But that's not why I'm posting again so soon.
I'm doing this thing with my life coach that I think is important enough to post about.
At this point in the workbook (yeah, there's a workbook. you wanna fight about it?) I had to rank the following things in order of importance:
Economics (ie personal finances)
Work/Career (ie writing)
Spirituality
Personal Growth
Community
Personal Relationships
Health & Fitness
Play
That is also the order I said they were for me. I worry a lot about money, but I can only do so much about it. Point is, I try not to think about it a lot of the time. My situation right now is such that I don't have to actually fret about money for basic needs and a few niceties here and there. But I do worry a lot about finding a job and whether Michigan and I will have to break up in order for that to happen. That would be a shame.
I've been kicking ass on all things literary in regard to reading, writing, and pursuing publication. So all good there.
Spirituality is a tougher issue for me. Thelema demands that I be proactive in doing the things I'm meant to do, and in working for the things I really want. I can get awfully lazy in that regard and need to be better at pushing myself along. I daresay though, that I've been quite productive in the last year or two.
Personal Growth is difficult to quantify. I try to learn new things as often as possible. I think I maintain an open mind, which is important for personal growth. Frankly, all that therapy and abstaining and meds is all part of personal growth. So I guess I'm okay there as well.
My health gets better all the time; and my personal relationships are, in a word: awesome.
I volunteer in the community, and make donations of things. Plus I vote and stay abreast of current issues.
And Play? Well, I get plenty of that in.
What's my point? In therapy they can't shut up abotu persepctive and how it's the key to happiness. I'm not sure it's that simple, but I am finding that separating life into these kinds of catagories and really thinking about how much we do that directly corrolates to what's important to us...it's enormously helpful. I'm realizing that there is a huge difference between things I want and things I've resigned to settling for. I have no business working as a receptionist or a retail clerk, I'm far too smart, creative, and educated. But I can't do nothing until just the right gig comes along, because it may never. So I have to figure out what I really should be doing with any and all talent I have kicking around. Having options is an enormous fucking responsibility, and honestly things felt much easier when I was pretending I had no real choices in life.
