Frightened of our own shadow

The most amazing thing about life is the mystery, the adventure, the leap into the unknown, what’s around the next corner, the freedom of exploring, the joy of the magical tense moment of not knowing what’s next…uncertainty, imperfection and the unknown bring the most amazing parts of life, bring exhilaration and the sense of really being alive now in this real moment.

Yet we have created culture that demands no risk, no uncertainty, safety, and certainty. It keeps us trapped in our fear-filled thoughts of impending doom and risk.

Is it any wonder that we are the most depressed, addicted and medicated humans to ever walk the planet.

The never ending search for zero risk and complete certainty is thrust upon us by the psychological fear of everything and anything, even our own shadow.

Amazing adventure

That thing you didn’t do yesterday, or last week, or 5 years ago…you can do now, if you want or something completely new.

Each unfolding moment of our life is a new possibility, a new opportunity.

We can always start from scratch…every moment. It is like hitting the ‘new game’ button.

If only we focussed on what an absolutely amazing adventure our life is in this moment now instead of the suffering of what we didn’t do in the imaginary past that is only contained in our mind.
