It just is

Posted on by philipdodson

For all of us looking for the secret to life, the answer, the meaning of our existence, what is it all about? Don’t search anymore, there isn’t an answer and it doesn’t matter, as it will not change what is.

There isn’t a meaning, answer, secret…life is now and it is just what we choose and it is, as it is. There is no manual, no guide, no right or wrong. The searching and constant looking for an answer is what causes us the pain and suffering, it is the mind’s fear of the what might be…the future and uncertainty.

Just be and live right now, as it is, only our mind that needs to have an answer or reason. Our true essence and soul just wants to shine and experience without any reason what is happening right now.

Life just is, accept it and enjoy free from the need to always have an answer.

We are all living a ‘walter mitty’

Posted on by philipdodson

We all live a version of a ‘Walter Mitty’ story in our heads, we create these fantasy versions of ourselves, that we act out in our heads, and in many way, in our actions and behaviours in the exterior world.

The challenge is though, that this ‘better’ or more exciting life/story that we create never really materialises and this leads to disappointment. We are dissatisfied, so we create a ‘better’ life, that never happens and then there is only further suffering, always seeking better rather than allowing the amazing human soul that we all are shine bright.

We expect that our ‘Walter Mitty’ life will become real, but it never does, and that leads to a feeling of lack and discontent. It becomes a spiral with no escape from these created personas.

If only we realised that if we let go of all the stories, the fantasies, the roles, the ‘Walter Mitty’ and actually let our true essence shine that we all have the most amazing life and journey to have.

When we are free from the burden of the stories, then we can be at peace within and then we can truly enjoy life now as our true self.
