What’s next?

What’s next?

This is how we live our lives, always seeking the next thing, and never enjoying it when it comes, as we’ve moved onto the next thing and so on until there is no next thing. The end.

Enjoy now, as in this moment right now, it is our only real life. It’s the only time we can actually do or experience anything. We can’t laugh, sing, smile, jump, hug, eat, make art, make music, love, cherish, taste, smell, see, or hear in the past or in the future.

It all happens now…the next thing is just a thought.

It’s a chain reaction

We can sit on the fence or we can take the plunge…it’s an ongoing dilemma we face on our journey.

Either is a choice, there’s not a right or wrong about whichever we choose. Doing or not is the same.

However, like all things, our choices have consequences always, so if we choose not to take the plunge then that will have a consequence.

Sitting on the fence seems comfortable and less risky…safe.

Safe leads to suffering though.

Taking the plunge seems risky, but it brings experience and after all, life is about taking mental concepts and realising them through actually creating a real-life experience.

So comfort seems good short-term, but longer-term it is only suffering from not creating the experiences we want. Experiences mentally seem daunting but they lead to joy and other experiences…it’s a chain reaction that sitting on the fence never creates.
