Unit 6 Blog

I enjoyed both the loving-kindness and subtle-mind exercises, along with all of the exercises we have done in this class. I still am having difficulties finding the time, quiet, and patience to complete these exercises. This world is so busy and chaotic that it is hard to just stop, even for a minute or two. I discovered, about myself, that I want to love what I am doing but I don't, I just don't. So I have resolved to go ahead with my plan to join the Navy and do all I can with the time I have left. I have chosen to focus my growth and development into furthering my ability to make decision based equally on myself and my loved ones. Prior to this I had based my decisions almost solely on my loved ones; while I love them greatly I know that, in order to be happy (which is what they want for me as well), I need to follow my heart. I will continue to do both the loving-kindness and subtle mind exercises as they allow me to reach deep inside, sift through the clutter and find what I want, need, and am.
