รž one of the most profound changes in my life รž

Posted: Sat, Sep 18, 2010 11:37:13 AM

is in the realm of personal relationships. those changes have been amazing, but before i go into writing about this, i need to make a decision. yes i know that decision-making is not necessarily what you all wish to hear, i am however going there.
so i was sent off to one of my clients way too early this morning due to connectivity issues on site. i got there, resolved that and discovered the server that i had set-up as a backup had lost one of its hard drives. my decision now, is to try and go back and replace the drive, install the software and wait for the piece of hardware to do the restore from tape, or to just let it go. honestly it is amazing those drives lasted for as long as they did, and it has been a good piece of insurance to have that server there and running, and it has come in handy for all sorts of little tasks to run when i need to make changes before i put them in production. i can do some other work while i am there, so as i write this out, i do believe that i will go and get that machine up and running again and sleep a little easier tonight.
there that was not so hard was it? so the reading spoke about as i build relationships i will have to deal with conflicts. equal relationships are fraught with more than one place where i disagree with another person. my current spiritual fitness, at least as i was steeling myself for another step cycle, was not one in which i handles this conflict very well. because of underlying anger and entitlement issues coming from my unmet expectations of myself and the world around me, i was unable to see the forest for all the trees as the cliche goes. recognizing my insanity in this matter has been instrumental into moving into the Step 2 assignment i am currently working on, and as i write this, i am finally getting a few clues about how to proceed.
on that note i think i will implement my previous decision and get back to the plant and get that dang server up and running. life is good today and i am in a great space, now that i have stopped waffling about how to apply myself this morning.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) If I were suddenly to become known, and (put into a position to)
conduct (a government) according to the Great Tao, what I should be
most afraid of would be a boastful display.
