Now: The only reality

Yesterday is nothing but a remembrance - tomorrow but a dream.

This very moment right now is the only thing that ever exists.

The assertion of life’s impermanence could present itself in your tomorrow, robbing you of all dreams.

With the wisdom of this cosmic truth realized, making choices pure of intent, meaning, and without regrets are made definite.

Even in direst situations when choices seem nonexistent, there is still a choice of attitude with which to face any circumstance in a way that gives meaning to any difficulty.

Looking back on each day with contentment, knowing you have done your best, knowing you have truly lived.


Enjoy life - let's not complicate it

You are born, you grow, and you learn the ways of survival within your necessary and trusted circles;

life then flows unconsciously by like an unobserved creek in your backyard.


Enjoying life is a conscious choice!

Since birth, I was taught how to survive and which paths I should take for success in life.

But I was never taught the merits of enjoying life.

Instead, life flowed in an automated fashion where shades of success and failure dictated the level of enjoyment I 'deserved'.

How I have learned to enjoy life

I have discovered that the secret to enjoying life is to live each and every moment to its fullest.


It is one of those simple but hard things to do.


For me, this means:

  • Be fully present in each moment
  • Actively take in every aspect of the moment
  • Feel and appreciate the beauty of multiple perspectives
  •  Realize the blessings of what you are experiencing
  •  Be grateful
  •  Connects as deeply as you can

And if you ever think of will the next moment begin? The answer is:

- Now

- Always

- It already has...

Being mindful brings awareness into each moment, hones your perception, and infuses joy deep within one's self.

Conscious moments nourish compassion, remove the filters of ignorance, and allow us to fully experience the joy of life

Undefine me

No object defines me: Not on its own or in concert with any number.

My friends show the type of company I keep, but they are not who I am - or who I want to be.

It may be good; it may be sinful - and while it may be true - what others think of me doesn't  define who I am.

The intentions behind my actions and the things I connect with - shape my interaction in the present,

but it does not define me.

Why is there a need?

What purpose is served?

Reluctant to alter, or cast away

Like all things existing within the grasp of change and transformation, their natural flow constantly shifts to a point where conscious efforts are required to maintain ones sense of balance.

Identifying with parts of yourself, or extensions thereof, in the trails of your own evolution, no longer sits right with the soul.

It’s no simple task knowing exactly why a certain change instills questions that give birth to uncertainties in what you might still find relevant.

Reluctant to alter or cast away past efforts in favor of current and possible future usefulness - increases the gap in the once identifiable self and present you.

For what is meant of change if not conscious evolution and letting go of that which can no longer identify us truthfully?


What is, and what isn'

The secrets of the heart lie in the present. The old days never were - tomorrow will never be.

The day is young... it always is, and so are you.

This perspective adds fuel to the now, passion to the heart - breath to the soul.

What you do in the present is who you are - never part of what you will become.

Perspectives chosen

A perspective that also fuels the myths of tomorrow:

The inheritors.

The meaning of life is…

Do you treat life like it's an entity with a will of its own; and believe that you are at its mercy?

If so, is that not the same as saying your life is not your own; but a result of the whim of this mythical being whose actions - and inactions, create the fate of those still in its cradle?

Is life God?

The answers we seek about life, and its reason for being, stem from the realities we create - and consequently from the stories we tell ourselves.

Once you accept and integrate the fact that you alone are the creator of your life, you eventually realize that:

the present is your canvas,

awareness of your brush,

and purposeful moments, your artwork.


Life is a series of purposeful moments strung together to tell your unique story.

With that thought in mind, is apparent that the present, the now, is the only reality.

So, what is the meaning of life?

You tell me!

Be the energy that is. Be you!

The energy that is you, the universe itself, needs the care of intention and purpose from the combined guided will of compassion, wisdom, and love.

  • The wisdom of impeccable timing and application
  •   The compassion of a mother for her only child
  •   The love of a heart that sees and recognizes itself
The fragments of what was once whole, the love who once embraced chaos as its own heart, the dark that is true to light.

It is all one and the same. It is you realized.

So whenever you doubt yourself, or your potential, or feel lost, listen to the true you.

Listen to the universe.

Be the universe.

Be you.

The purpose of existence is you

The purpose of existence is a balance between what you give and what you receive.

The purpose of existence is meaningful relationships without attachment.

Bonds formed from sincerity, an open heart, and mind, free from judgment and without expectations of gain.

The differences make up the whole.

Without darkness, there is no light.

Without wrong, no right.

Without emptiness, no fulfillment.

Without questions, no answers.

Without chaos, no balance.

We are at our very core chaotic beings, birthed from chaos.


We are chaos in harmony.

It is in our nature to seek balance. What often eludes, as we don’t know what is missing, is the how.

Gravitating towards our center, and without closer examination, we assimilate energies not true to our needs to fit into a general balance of the many, off-lifting the responsibilities for ones own equilibrium onto others; onto circumstances.

Balance within oneself, those around you, nature, and of course, the universe—you.


Change your energy: Change your fate

Everything in existence fundamentally comes down to energy.

It is what we are.

It is what everything is.

⚡️

And as someone who desires to achieve higher consciousness, this was a huge revelation once understood.

Once I had integrated this truth, my perspectives of life and how I cared for myself and those around me profoundly changed.

To be in a harmonious and energetic balance within oneself; with nature–was a life-altering insight for my spiritual growth.

Not being energetically balanced paves the way for misfortune, dense encounters, and harsh life lessons.

Make energetical hygiene a natural support pillar in your daily well-being routine: It will change your energy; your fate.

After all, you are energy. Energy is you.
