Painting the right eye of my whittled Daruma doll
"Take your time and find your values"
In another post, I have explained that I had whittled a new Daruma doll to replace an older one I had. I've finally got around to painting its eye, in other words, I've finally set that 'goal' that it is supposed to remind me to follow.
Lately, or not that lately, I have been rushing in everything that I do. This means that every little inconvenience that got me to waste time caused quite some irritation. I have been feeling irritated for nothing: in the end the one that is putting pressure on me to fulfill some imaginary deadline is no one else but myself.
Thus, the first part of my goal-wish is to take my time.
While taking my time I also want to understand the values that I find important. Although I have some things that I know I put above others, sometimes I find that I get a little lost on what to do in certain situations or when confronted with certain opinions. What I mean is that, by having a good set of values that one considers important, those values can help guide actions and thoughts when needed.
Thus, the second part of my goal-wish is to find my values.
As a final though, apart from reminding me of these goals, every time I look at it, it makes me chuckle, I made it kind of bizarre...
