3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Another smooth shift proceeded at the Weekend Job as my good run continues - due in no small part to the absence of management interference buggering up systems that work very well without their presence. Consequently my head isn't clouded with any lingering dark emotions, and I am freed up to focus on where to go from here.
 
Son and I are in similar positions in not attracting the interest we would like in order to generate success, and so are evaluating our next moves. I am thoroughly convinced that going with your intuition is the best way forward in these situations. My life is generally how I want it to be, due to finally arriving at my purpose resolving to fulfil it my way. This in the main involves being guided by intuition. I have learned to distinguish it from fear or elation and so know when to act on impulses and when to hold fire. 

The character of Gary Blonder has been a fun game to play of late, but though I want to play it to the full, I do not wish to become "lost" in it, so I intend to let my consciousness ease back into the universal perspective of the player/observer. This is why meditation is so important. My life is so low-stress at the moment that I don't need meditation for this purpose, but I do need it to regularly disengage from my character and just Be.  

The ultimate spiritual objective is to play the character continually from the perspective of the Player. The character will then be ultimately more successful and a more fulfilling experience.

8. TRIVIA
The chief factors shown to increase the average life expectancy of a country's population are the availability and quality of healthcare and the abundance of health information. In the United States, life expectancy went up a staggering 30 years in the 20th Century.

9. ZEN WISDOM
The greatest tragedy in life is not to die, it is to live as if dead, to let the life within us wither. Toward what goal or achievement are we striving in life? This is the important question to ask ourselves.
