Personal Challenges

There are some difficulties in my life that are consuming a good amount of my positive energy. I'm mentally working overtime trying to eradicate the negative activity.

I've started to meditate - something I've been wanting to do for some time. I am already very conscious of my breathing so that helps. I meditating for at least five minutes, but no more than eight.

My current focus/chant is:
May everyone be happy, May everyone be free from misery.

But I think I am going to move along to:
Who am I? And where am I going?
