Shifted Focus

Somewhere inbetween applying for school and finishing up Senior semester I think I have lost track of what I wanted to use massage for. Suddenly its all about the money and freedom. What was the original intent? To help people. Lord please don't let me forget this.
It is so easy to get swept away with all the cool things I will have, things I can do and time to spare. I know it is all empty. I miss doing things for other people, serving others. Massage is a great tool to do this. I have the priveledge in giving someone better quality of life.
I want to see each client I have as a person...not as a payment.
Each person I meet has something to teach me. I don't want to stop learning-Emotionally, Spiritually, or Mentally.
Lord help me to see people through your eyes. Let me not forget the reason I am here on Earth. Continue to show me your ways.

All At Once
jack johnson

all at once
the world can't overwhelm me
theres almost nothin' that you could tell me
that could ease my mind
which way will you run

when its always all around you
and the feelin' lost and found you again
a feelin' that we have no control
around a song
some say
theres gonna be the new hell
some say
its still too early to tell
some say
it really ain't no myth at all
keep askin ourselves are we really

strong enough
there's so many things that we got
too proud of
we're too proud of
we're too proud of
i wanna take the preconceived

out from underneath your feet
we could shake it off
instead we'll plant some seeds

we'll watch em' as they grow
and with each new beat
from your heart the roots grow deeper
the branches will they reach for what
nobody really knows
but underneath it all
theres this heart all alone
what about is gone

and it really won't be so long
sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
theres a world we've never seen

theres still hope between the dreams
the weight of it all could blow away with a breeze
if your waitin on the wind
don't forget to breathe
cause as the darkness gets deeper
we'll be sinkin as we reach for love
at least somethin we could hold
but i'll reach to you from where time just cant go
what about is gone

and it really wont be so long
sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all

This song touched me today. It just met me where I was at. Thanks so much Jack.
