Back again

Posted on by philipdodson

Back here again, it’s been a while.

I had been blogging religiously, daily, for many years and then lost the habit. I tried a few times to rekindle the habit but with limited success. I thought I was ready to start again each time, but I wasn’t.

I’ve slowly been learning that it is totally OK. I am still worthy…really I am!

We are conditioned to believe that we always have to be doing something, achieving something and constantly busy. It is where we get our recognition from and our fragile ego craves it. If we are not achieving we believe we are a failure.

Our primary purpose is to simply ‘be’ and be in this moment now, to be conscious. Then we could choose to manifest other purposes and our soul will guide us to what they are. However, if all we do for our entire existence is to just be, then that is it.

So ‘back again’ in itself is irrelevant, I have never left. It is only my ego that needs to blog daily and achieve something. My soul just wants to share my gif with the world out of love.

The person we think we are is always vulnerable, the person we truly are is never vulnerable.

We can either think and suffer and be trapped within our thoughts or simply be and be at peace. We cannot do both.

January the 1st won’t save us

Welcome 2024!!

A new start? A day to resurrect of lives and take action?

Interesting how we almost wait for the date to change in order to spur ourselves into action.

Often though, we go from not doing the things we feel we should to a state of frenzied activity only for that to fade away very quickly. The tsunami of new tasks we take on just because it is a new year exhausts us within a few weeks.

Change can only ever take place now, in this moment, so the date on the calendar is irrelevant.

Also, effective changes are only successful one small step at a time. Once we get to trying to take giant leaps, we fail, because the mind, and all its future projections brings psychological fear which paralyses us into inaction.

If allow ourselves to be present and away from the mind, then we won’t have these ups and downs in action bought about by a change of date.

January the 1st isn’t our saviour…now is.
