It been said time and time before, we spend the majority of our younger years willing the years away only to reach our working years and wonder where the time goes. It is the passage of the last 6 months that has this Zen Curious Lawyer really considering what has been achieved.
The Initial Steps
The journey to Zen began strong for this lawyer; keener than ever to ensure that this year the hustle and bustle of modern life would not be my undoing.
Reading blogs, attending meditation sessions and engaging in purposeful practices opened the door to realm of wisdom and tranquillity. However my new found hobby had also added another task to my already exploding to do list, and it is a task which requires a conscious and persistent commitment.
Embracing the Journey
Perhaps the most significant area of personal growth in the last 6 months has been cultivating compassion for myself and, in turn, finding more empathy for others. This journey has encouraged me to reflect more deeply on the reasons why I embarked on it in the first place and how, in improving myself, I can assist others.
