I Think I Can, I Think I Can

So far this using my resources is going well, not great but marginally better than okay and definately better than not at all.

I have discovered that I can do the things I set out to do, and that I am really the only obstacle in my way.  This is mainly true because I believe it is best to keep my goals in the realm of possibility, at least for now.  I am not trying to reach to "exceed my grasp."  I am trying to grasp what I reach for. 

In Februrary I decided to focus on forgiveness and helpfulness.  I went out of my way to do favours for people.  I gave sage advice to young people who actually wanted to listen.  I did my utmost to view life from the eyes of the other person.  I did this because I chose to.  I selected February because of the awfully commercial faux holiday Saint Valentine's Day.  If you actually love and care about people, premade schmaltzy cards, overpriced flowers, slave labour driven chocolate and one single day to stuff it all in, while being a retaillers dream, doesn't acually do it for me. 

This month's resources are time and attitude.  I can't say I have knocked it out of the park so far, but I could call it a double and be fair.  My choices are still working for me, I am working for them, if I wasn't already one being I would call it symbiotic.  Making the decision to spend my resources was easy.  Rediscovering that this kind of currency resupplies itself the faster it is spent is something of a Valentine's gift to myself.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
