I think it is important that we connect to an inner
spirit each day. My spirit is that of a writer, a poet, and an artist. Our
spirits are different yet they are the same; each one connecting to our inner
being. Every day I see to it that I create something. If we are not creating,
we are stagnant. We can grow apart from the very things that allow us to truly
live. I have been fortunate in being able to do what I love, at least some of
the time. I also had the misfortune of working at jobs that could stifle the
spirit, beat you down and crush you if one was not careful. If you have one of
those, it’s best to run fast in the opposite direction. Finding and connecting
to what enables your inner spirit should be one’s goal and you should pursue it
to help you feel more in harmony with your inner self and the Dao.
