The 99% of life that we skip

Posted on by philipdodson

Our lives are made up of 99% what we are conditioned to believe are just ordinary moments. We whisk through them on the race to the next big thing.

Always searching and wanting to be at the end, at the outcome…at the next ‘big thing’.

We do not want the ordinary moment, we do not want the doing we want the ending.

Yet if we saw each so called ordinary moment as a magical real-life moment where the joy of doing is far greater than the fictional mind-created future outcome we would actually enjoy the 99% of our life that we skip and do not even notice.

Don’t wish for the 1% that we never enjoy when it does comes because we are always onto the next big thing. Instead live the ordinary magical moment, after all we are only here once.

Some people feel the rain

I read this quote today…”Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.” – Bob Marley, wisely said.

Life is all about how we choose to see it.

If we see things as hard, they will be. If we think all people are against us, they will be. If we think that the day is hard, our partner is irritating, or the neighbours are a pain in the arse, well, they will be. If we think there are bad people…guess what, in the reality our mind creates, all people will then be bad.

If we move, unless we change our inner mindset, the new neighbours will be a pain in the arse too.

So we can either accept what is, the moment and enjoy it or we can get swept along by all that happens to us and let it eat away at us.

Consciously we just get wet and move on, within our mind and its dramas we feel everything.
