Doing the opposite to what brings us joy

We always feel most at ease and peace inside when we are truly ourselves, when we are not wearing any hats, when we are not acting out any roles, when we are not trying to fit in. We feel most at ease when we set our boundaries, when we do not justify ourselves, when we do not seek approval or permission.

Amazingly we spend most of our lives doing the opposite of what brings us peace and joy. We are always trying to fit in, trying to please others, acting out roles, seeking approval and permission and fearing being our true self in case we offend someone.

Madness given we only get one shot at this human experience on this rock.

Just be you and enjoy the journey and the ones who are the true beings will get you as you are and those who don’t, well they have a different journey to yours.

As good as it gets

We waste much of our existence thinking of a better one than what we believe we have now.

Never experiencing better because we are always thinking of it so we miss what is actually happening. Never experiencing now as we are stuck in thought.

We miss our own life in the unconsciousness of our minds.

Now is as good as it will ever get, so enjoy it, now. Just stop thinking and start experiencing.
