Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi Folks, I just wanted to share where I am at. I finally realized that most of my life, subconsciously, I haven't felt like I was good enough. It all goes back to something my Mom said to me when I was about 22-23. Ever since then, I have been on a search to always do and have better. Kind of like the mentality in our society. I have always been looking for the grass to be greener on the other side, so to speak. So I've been on a quest my whole adult life to have a better job/career, a better man, better relationships, to be a better friend, to be a better employee, to be more spiritual, to be more godly, to be more..... you name it, I have been searching for it. I think this quest for IE has just been part of it. And I've been trying to constantly do it better. And I finally realized that I have the IE stuff down. No, it's not always 100% perfect, but I'm doing it. And I finally realized that that is enough. And I am just working on just being. Not trying to be better at anything or to figure everything out or to fix soemthing. Just being. Some people might say it's like being present in the moment. But it's more than that, because to me working at being present in the moment is saying that I'm again, not doing something right. So, I'm just being.
