PRIORITIES, PROFILE & QUESTIONS
We are ending our harvest of tomatoes today with lots of green ones to fry up. But as our nature harvest is ending it is time to nourish the garden beds. It is also time to harvest our yearly Karma crop.
“Success occurs when preparation and opportunity meet,” quotes Seneca, a Roman wise guy. By knowing where we are, what we have created, where we want to go, we add to who we are. We increase the opportunity to not just show up, but show up, on time, with a plan and with the tricks and treasures to make miracles happen.
As with each time I begin writing to cure Seriousitis™ I ask, ‘Where is my Attention? I check out the NOW, ponder the weeks THEN and IMAGINE the What Could Be.
The practice becomes a venture into the dead past and imagined future, but if we don’t know where we are going “any road will do”, as the Cheshire Cat has said. If we don’t know where we’ve been perhaps history repeats itself and nothing new is deposited in our Karma accounts, and the saw doesn’t get sharpened, and precious items are left out in the rain.
I begin the Harvest with some old questions:
What is happening?
What do I want?
What have I learned?
Those questions act as a Ground of Being setting the tone for exploration, one of my favorite verbs, with newness, adventure and the UNKNOWN. Those questions serve me a huge plate to nosh upon.
I mix some ideas into a metaphoric meal, what’s my current life appetizer?
What gets me excited to get to my Harvest banquet?
What gets the juices going for the entrée? Does the entrée fulfill my purpose?
Am I getting enough nourishment? Am I eating too much, too little or gobbling up the same old same old?
What new spice can I add? Am I still addicted to dessert? Am I rewarding myself, disciplining myself or trying a new treat?
Not sure what your questions are? A Life Long Learner can send you a profile of questions to assist your harvest? Curing Seriousitis™ in collaboration with Questions for Success is glad to play 20 Questions. Questions that you may not have thought about. Questions that can guide us, build our Attention and Karma accounts.
