Do you ever stop and think about how insane this is? You have
"your life", and some crazy idea you get to order it, you get to have
some control over how it's going. You live somewhere (if you're fortunate), and
you may have a measuring stick you think of as "your stick", and in
it you may have "your trees", your trunk, your branches, leaves and
your fruits. In other terms your views, your inhibitions, highs, goals,
memories, your car, your day, your responsibilities, and your routine? Your
spot in the room when you go to yoga, it is a small thing but I am sure all of
us want to be in our favorite spot depending on our mood, day, who is around and
environmental (air, light etc) factors. We centralize lives around our loved
ones, friends, dreams, work and sadly finance. The clothes we pick for ourselves.
Your identity, you know? Your daily list of things to do and all those things
that you want to do but been unable to do b because of one reason or another. Your
schedule for today, as in Monday As if it's up to you. As if the entire thing,
your entire life, and every plan you've got couldn't be turned on its head in
the blink of an eye. Its endless list of things, issues, commitments,
liabilities and responsibilities. Do the people in your life know how much you
love them? Are you making that clear with your actions and the words you choose
every day? Did you do that today? If something happened to you today (and I
certainly hope nothing but beautiful things happen for you today), what would
be left undone? Unsaid? Unexplored? Life does not
have a rollover plan for wasted moments.
The only thing you truly have any control over, is how you're going to respond to whatever it is life is going to bring your way. Maybe something or someone amazing will cross your path. You get to decide if you open to that or you don't. Maybe something devastating or disappointing will happen. You have the power only as much as you're able to open to those events, also. But please don't suffer under the delusion that you're in control and you can put off your joy and your fun and your yes for now, so you can enjoy those things, life's most meaningful gifts, in your future. Tomorrow isn't promised, every single day is a gift and an opportunity to be lit up from the inside, powered by your purpose here, spreading all the love you've got in your heart and co-creating the story as it unfolds. You're either in the flow, or you're exhausting yourself swimming against the current. When people wear themselves down like that, it's so painful, they just want to sleep. How many different ways do we have to do that? To disconnect, to check out, to numb out? Our infatuation with our cell phones, this is crazy but I have become one of those who are always fondling with a cell phone, and if I don’t have it in my hand I feel strange and its funny that I keep playing with my cell phone, even if I don’t have any message or email or check or write, this attachment is ever growing which is not good. I wish if it was with a human being instead of a gadget. We are so much whatsapping, bbming,, forgetting to actually to be with those people, this infatuation with gadgets tweeting or "checking in", is alarming and instead of being with the person in front of them we are literally changing reality into virtuality. Everyone racing everywhere because we're all so important, you know? We have places to be and we're "swamped" and "inundated", and wow, I'm beat, so happy there's a Gloria Jean’s Coffee Company or Espresso! What are we distracting ourselves from, and why are we so afraid to sit still and open to the wonder within us and the wonder around us? This is serious and concerning, as what are we leaving behind for new generation. I ask myself, when was the last time that I had actually written a letter to a loved one, and I feel sad plus sorry that it’s been more than a year J. Now we have to realize the sentiment of knowing the power of NOW. That's the only power you have, opening to things as they are, as of now, yes, be it MONDAY. Why can’t we simply embrace it to face it with an open heart and a big smile? Facing reality as it is, is a blessing. Why today’s time and age I am more worried about that my cell phone is out of battery than anything else. My phone went dead on me last night and God I was miserable & freaking out as if I had some allergic reaction. Life is a lot more than that, sometimes it's full of indescribable beauty. You are a part of that. A unique, amazing part. It would be such a shame to miss that. If you're just arriving yet, welcome to this moment. So glad you're here. I wish and pray that you always stay in that moment and keep on cherishing that moment, every moment of your life.
