Where are you rushing off to?
What makes over there so much better than right here?
Take a deep breath.
& take another.
You have no other choice than to be anywhere but exactly where you are, now.
When you long for what you do not have, you are choosing pain and suffering.
& what is “having”, anyway? Everything around you is in constant state of change & decay. Your possessions, your loved ones, yourself.
The most substantial entity you have ownership over is your mind.
Who is in the driver’s seat of thought right now? You, or the restless Ego? You’ll be able to tell by the way you feel.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master." Robin Sharma
The Ego feasts at the Identity Buffet. It’s appetizer, a hearty salad of What You Are & What You Are Not. The entree, Blame A la Others. & for dessert it washes down the indulgent Entitlement & Impatience.
The real You is naturally content and well fed. Not hungry nor thirsty for anything outside. You’re nourished by the breath of the body and the heat of the sun. Every day gifts you’re inherently and infinitely blessed with for as long as you live.
Enjoy the perfection of today, take the ego for a walk in nature.
Feel, see, and hear the natural way of life.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, not conquered.
There is no “over there”, only here now.
You are just a flower. Bloom at your own pace.
Do not rush your life.
