Accumulate experiences

Life is not about careers, pay cheques, stuff, titles, achievements and anything else that is all about our ego and the story of ‘little me’ played out in the mind.

It’s about experiences that happen right now, whatever they are…there are no good or bad experiences, that’s nonsense of the mind and its judgements, they are all learning opportunities and ways of growing ourselves on our journey.

Don’t accumulate stuff, money, or achievements…accumulate experiences.

The dilemma of the mind

Today, is day where I nearly said ‘don’t do your blog, you’re tired, it’s been a long day’ and then I thought ‘but it’s nearly 6 years in just 3 days time to complete 6 years of continuous daily blogging!’.

That is my ego…that is me saying ‘must keep going no matter what’. However, I make the rules for my life, so I could just say ‘it’s late and leave it for tomorrow, because I’m writing this for the art, the craft, saying something that matters, not to just tick a box’.

The internal dialogue of the mind will argue this forever, if I let it, or I could just accept I wrote today’s blog, move on.

Nothing matters…it’s only the mind that creates all these dilemmas and drama to worry about.
