No plan

Posted on by philipdodson

It’s good to have times when there is no plan, no deadline, no destination, just being.

It is the mind that convinces us that we need to be busy. But busy doing what? Do we ever stop and think about the purpose of all the things that we are busy doing versus all the amazing things that happen around us that we are never aware of because we are too busy.

Busyness is not the answer to a fulfilled life. Being and being aware will always bring us calm, peace and joy. Our primary purpose is to be conscious, to experience, to see the amazing in each moment. Our secondary purpose could be to do something, but without our primary purpose fulfilled, we will remain busily unfulfilled.

Try having no plan.

Living is a risk

Posted on by philipdodson

The best thing about not knowing if it will work or not is that, the uncertainty of any outcome make the risk of doing it exciting.

The mind wants certainties, it doesn’t want our ego at risk. It wants it to work or it will sabotage.

The whole point of being is to have experience and experiences will only come through risking failure, we learn from that and the challenges of risk.

Comfort is the same as dying only we have to suffer a long drawn out lifetime of pain of not taking the risk.

Living is a risk.
