FRONT-END ALIGNMENT


EGO
rushes ahead on its way

only to discover
that it has lost its way

by not
following the WAY


Life is filled with twists, turns, and a few significant potholes.  It doesn’t take many to discover that releasing the wheel for a moment has us drifting off course rather fast.

We have all experienced those moments of TRUE “in-SPIRIT-ation”, when the creative juices start to flow, the excitement builds, and we can hardly contain ourselves.  We may engage the moment in SPIRIT, or allow the ego to attempt a hijack and “take it from here”.

Those “take it from here” moments usually end up with all the fun drained out of the initial INSPIRATION, and the result is a far cry from what may have transpired otherwise.  But, all is not lost; we merely require a front-end alignment.

The WAY of SPIRIT can be characterized as:  

the shortest distance between two points
effortless
always exceeding expectations
fun

The way of the ego is usually characterized by:

detours & dead ends
effort & striving
continual disappointments
no fun at all

Both have other characteristics too numerous to mention, but why bother?  One can simply stop for a moment, get realigned in PEACE, continue on down the road with the utmost efficiency, and arrive at the INSPIRED destination with the tank still on FULL.
