not sure if this belongs in another thread or not...

im curious as to how everyone is dealing with the day to day hem and haw of a 3d life? since i've become more aware i've been exceptionally tired at my job and the daily tasks we all have to go through. it just feels so pointless to me. really? this is my life?

its important to remember that our 3d life has purpose, so having a job or dealing with paying bills, all the stuff that seems silly to us now that we are awake, they still have import. its important to not lose sight of that.

every little thing we do is a chance to learn. going to a bubble gum machine and getting out a bubble gum may seem silly but you know what, its not. because you wanted that bubble gum, and you wanted to feel happy from it. (bubble gum could be that, or it could be a new gadget at best buy or those new shoes youve been eyeing). the point is, you went for it because it made you happy. not someone else, but you, and so you fed your spirit light by that little action. it is one step closer to our 4d existence coming up.

i've always felt my entire life i was supposed to be doing something bigger and more important. but can never seem to figure out what that thing is... but yet i feel so trapped now. our purpose is often times hidden from us. audrey shenandoah says that sometimes we start performing a purpose without ever really knowing we are doing it. perhaps thats the way its meant to be, i think. but he also mentions that sometimes, our purpose [in regards to others] comes much later in life. and so basically everything we are doing now is preparing ourselves for this purpose. so if you are not performing your purpose yet, you are still in schooling.

we all need money to live and so we have to work. how does everyone cope? i find myself craving nature and the woods more and more and going from concrete building to concrete building just seems so wrong and futile. i understand this, i feel it too, especially as how i honor the creator through pagan beliefs that revolve very much around nature. but i have to keep reminding myself theres nature all around as well. the dirt we walk on, the air we breathe, the grass that grows, you can reconnect with nature merely with communicating with the grass that grows around your house. its something.

i really try to carry joy and love with me...but you know its tiring. especially with the bombardment of negativity. it really is a test sometimes.

curious to know how others cope?? i cope by recognizing it is a test. all of it, and i can choose to grow from the experience or not. theres no such thing as failure either. our actions show our growth but also how we feel about those actions. for example what if you are on the road and someone cuts you off and you get mad, maybe even to the point you speed up and cut them off in return. so we made a mistake then by allowing our anger to do this, but then... do we learn from the mistake we made? or do we feel vindicated in our actions?

so thats how i cope i look at everything as a learning experience, and recognizing it is, helps me alleviate the stress.
