Helping others become even better versions of themselves
I saw something posted on Facebook today about fear and sheep. I modified it slightly to ‘a sheep spends its entire life fearing a wolf will eat it, only to be eaten by the shepherd’.
The thing is, we only die once, yet in the mind, we die thousands of times.
Don’t be a sheep, stay away from the mind and be in the moment, enjoy now, where there is nothing to fear.
Often we have things that occur, situations that arise, that jolt us into reality. Like we’ve been suddenly awoken from a deep sleep, startled, shaken.
These moments are when we feel surreal. But it is these very moments that are when we are actually fully conscious, and as they are so few, that is why we feel they are strange.
Like sudden amazing beauty in nature, a birth, or something shocking like a car crash or a death.
The thing is if we focus on being present and we experience each moment, we do not have to rely on a jolt to wake us up.
