My main area of focus is worldly flourishing. Work has been and remains my biggest obstacle in living a happy life. I have made progress in recent months, but I still have a long way to go. I also could strive to become more active in volunteering more at the shelters and habitat for humanity.
I did the loving-kindness exercise. In the end, my mind was in a state of action. It wanted to end the suffering of those that I was thinking about. I cannot say it put me in a peaceful state.
Daniel,
ReplyDeleteThe loving-kindness exercise was hard for me only because I know of a lot of people who are suffering and need help and to try and set aside even 10 minutes to dedicate to them is hard. I tried to but was interrupted several times by my son who always seems to know when I'm doing school work, I hope both of us get to that peaceful state and can achieve loving-kindness.
