I'm really gonna try now...

How many times have I attempted to start a new thread of blogs with high hopes of having a more consistent, or should I say frequent, posting regime. Well, lets give this a try again.

I'm going to start a new topic shortly but first, with regard to my last post...regarding (wow, just used regarding twice)...living life to the fullest.

Have I done it? Yes...to some extent but not to the fullest. Will I attempt to do this in the future, absolutely. When will I start? I'd like to say today, but its late at night, so will tomorrow work? Sure will. But I gotta do it.

So, a new topic....let's see...how about something that I've talked about before? Not new, of course not. I always post on something that is somehow related to a prior post.

So, tonight...let's talk about internal motivation or sometimes, I like to call this 'internal marketing'. the essence of marketing is to sell or convince someone else to buy something or try something, that they may not be familiar with. So, what is internal marketing? Its the same concept but when you do it on yourself.

I'm trying to sell myself on the idea that happiness only comes with contentment. Is it true? Well, sure it is...if you believe you can achieve contentment. I honestly think I can and that is what I'm striving for. To reach this awe-struck feeling where I realize, I am happy for no other reason, than to just be happy. Let's see if it really happens or not.

Things I'm pondering...
...dreams...what do they really mean? especially when you wake up and say...that was weird...
...rest is a good thing...really...it is...but why I can't I do it?
...can jealousy be a motivator to pursue dreams?

See rest is a tricky thing. You have to really let go of all your anxieties and worries to really enjoy rest. I find the only times I truly rest are when I fall asleep in the arms of the Father. I know it sounds corny but it really helps me to hold still and just visualize myself being held by God and resting in Him. I have to see that love in my mind and give Him my worries and then I can rest and relax.
