Helping others become even better versions of themselves
And what now?
Are you waiting for the next big thing?
We spend our lives wishing away the so-called ‘ordinary’ moment to get to the next big thing.
Only when we get there, we want to move on to the next even bigger thing. So we do not even enjoy the ‘big thing’ when it arrives.
Our life is made up of a series of now moments…like, now.
They are only ordinary if that’s how we choose to see them.
Life will always be now…the rest is just suffering in our mind from the past or what might be.
Today I just got up and decided to go and sit by the sea, to be in the cold wind, to sit in the winter sun and to just watch the world go by…to be in the moment and at peace.
My soul and body were telling me for a while to take a break, to step away from the ‘package’ aka the mind and all its rambling repetitive daily thought patterns. But like most, I ignored it.
I feel completely re-energised from just being in nature and for feeling the cold elements. From just sitting and observing the moment, it reminded me that passing clouds and passing people are like thoughts they float by and that’s it. Everything passes unless we choose to cling on and attach things to it. Then through choice, we continue to suffer through our attachments.
Let life be, let it float by and go with it.
