🎥 measuring each 🎦

action of my day to determine when and where i need to make corrections and where i acted in accordance with the spiritual principles to which i ascribe, is part of my daily recovery routine. do not get me wrong, i do not do a play-by-play recap of my day, each and every evening, but i do scroll through the highlights and “low” lights reels to get a clue about how i lived this day. as i wait to hear about the outcome of my two interviews yesterday and the code test i took over the weekend, i am more than a bit angsty and itchy. i know the whole “not yet” paradigm is a better approximation about how life flows, but i have yet to grow a whole lot of tolerance for waiting for results. perhaps this auspicious date: Tuesday the 22 day of the 2nd month of the 22nd year of this century will be a good day for me as well.
what did i hear as i sat this morning? amazingly not a whole lot. what i got was some quiet and some serenity, in what has been a very busy week, where very little seems to be going my way. the gift of quiet was quite unexpected and my sense of purpose has been renewed to the point of knowing what i have to do today -- build a REACT JS app from scratch, that accesses an API and displays results. i also need to get some miles under my belt and it is far too cold to do so on the streets this morning. i do believe that i have said enough and the next correct thing to do, is to get my car warmed up and head towards the Rec Center, knowing full well that maybe, just maybe i may be able to let go and allow myself to sweat out my FEAR and ANXIETY while climbing artificial hills on the treadmill. it is after all, a great day to take care of myself.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

THE TAO TEH KING, OR THE TAO AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 1

1) He who would assist a lord of men in harmony with the Tao will
not assert his mastery in the kingdom by force of arms. Such a course
is sure to meet with its proper return.
