Seeing the bigger picture

Work, work, work, work, work .... long hours, 7 days a week - it is a form of masochism! I guess that's why not many people truly understand why I am doing this. And when I say I do not get paid for most it ... they just sigh.

So I ask myself why am I doing this? It is not because I want to become a professional Fundraiser, nor do I want to partake in daily office banter ... "If you had to choose one shop to buy your clothes at for the rest of your life, which would it be? .... Apparently it's an easy one to answer, Harvey Nichols!". I really like all the people I work with because they challenge me so much ... yep, that's not a question I would ever have asked myself!!!!

I'm doing this because it makes me feel very alive! It's a little lesson that I am teaching myself ... stay dedicated to a cause bigger than oneself and money. Be disciplined .. get enough sleep and eat healthy. Budget, live cheapily .. I haven't had ice-cream for weeks and I know the next time it will taste ten times more delicious than normal. Adapt. Enjoy the simple things. Think. Focus.

By clearing one's own mind so that all restrictions, all limitations have been broken. That's what I mean by expansion. Having a heart that can accept the whole world as our home. --Subba Rao
