How full is your cup?
The question can be taken in many ways, for me my cup is overflowing, my life is full the good and bad things mixed together spilling over every edge with no way to control what stays and what goes some parts of Zen teachings say if you want to learn you must first empty your cup to take in the things you need you must get rid of the things you don't. It is a great idea but in Sam world it almost seems imposible, all the choices to be made as well as the repercusions from past choices keep flowing in limiting the only real time to truly be focused on the test to the time i spend on the floor, only then with my belt tied tight and my eyes on the prize can i begin to pour some of those stressful things out making room in my cup to take in more of what i need, so the question is how do i extend my abilties out into the real world that is the question, the answer hopefully soon to come.

CGN Boy Sam, keep up the training--you are doing awesome! You've already made room in your cup for journaling! :o) The other requirements will begin to follow in line as long as you remain motivated. Let me know if you want some help planning out some events...i do like to plan!

KJN Tom used to tell us that we need to constantly be course correcting, like the pilot of an airplane with so many variables to consider....we may be off course from time to time and sometimes way off course, but a quick look at the map is sometimes all it takes to remind us of where we're going....and then we can get back on course....
