So apparently, no other day is better for me to squeeze extra time out of... at least not yet. I am starting a time-management course in a month and maybe that will teach me to squeeze time better. In the meantime, I guess am back to Friday blogging.
For me this year, the I-Ho-Chuan process is about making exceptional and sustainable changes to my life. For me, it is a process of really taking a serious look at myself - weaknesses and strengths, and at where I want to be - desires, wants and priorities; and then making the necessary changes that will put me on the right trajectory and allow me to find a place of peace within myself.
Not easy. But I am picking away at it.
I am re-reading Emery's Mastery in a whole new light this year. I have to admit that when I first read it last year, I really didn't get it. In fact, I did more than not get it, I totally resented it. Of course I didn't get this either. I preferred just to deny that it was important or relevant and view it as a chore that really didn't apply to me. I put it away and didn't think about it for a very long time. Then, at the end of my first year of I-Ho-Chuan, I reread it and I was shocked by what I got from it. It was almost as if I was reading a completely new Mastery essay. When did Emery go in and re-write it to make sense? This "new" version really made sense to me and I am starting to appreciate the message within - each time I read it, I get more and more out of it. Now, it has become a comfort for me to read rather than a chore that I worked hard to avoid.
I am glad that Emery re-wrote it. ;-) And I am glad that I have grown enough to re-read it in a more honest and accepting way.
