The Revitalization of my Life-Day 25

In the midst of my journey to revitalize my life, there have been adversities. But I have learned that you can't dwell on them. You have to accept them for what they are and keep going as if they never existed. Today is an off day from working out, but not an off day from revitalizing myself. I have taken on a new challenge that will require a great deal of focus. I am taking the challenge to start meditating. Now, I don't know anything about it, but I am gong to try it. I am going to do my research on it today and then tomorrow morning, I shall begin. I am going to take baby steps and try doing 15 minutes the first couple of times that I do it. My ultimate goal is to be able to get up every morning and meditate for an hour solid with no noise, no cell phone, no television, no nothing. All I want to do is sit and think about my life and myself. I want to be able to get in tune with my thoughts and try to make them become clearer. I want to make them so clear that they can become reality whenever I want them to. Along with just getting in tune with myself, I plan on getting in tune with my spiritual side. I think this will help me to bring all aspects of my life together.

On another note, when you are trying to get your life in order, most of the time, you run into problems or obstacles. And then you also run into things that are enlightening as well. I was riding in my car a few days ago and I made a wrong turn to go to a meeting. The wrong turn turned out to be the right one. Yes, I was in an unfamiliar area, but it was a nice area of town that I hadn't seen before. I drove through and found my way through and made it to my meeting. Later that evening I asked the question why did I make that wrong turn? Well, today I had the urge to come back to the place where I made the wrong turn and ran into an old fraternity brother of mine. We spoke and sat down and chit chatted for a while about the different dilemmas of life. He expressed to me a real tough decision that he had to make and he didn't know what he was going to do. He said that he had prayed about it and it was just really heavy because his decision is one that is life altering. I just sat and listened to him and never really expressed my opinion like I normally would do, but I did tell him that he should really pray about it and that no one could make the decision but him. It's funny how you end up in places you have no earthly idea why you are there. I had no clue that he was going to be there and I had no idea that he was going through some life changing things but I do know that I was sent to him not to advise but to listen.

Sometimes we are sent places to listen and not advise. God sometimes reveal to us our answers just through the presentation of someone else. I think this happens to the people that are very stubborn. He might have been that stubborn type that just needed for someone to listen and chime in when necessary. I don't know and I am not trying to figure it out. I am just going to keep making wrong turns when I am told to take it.
