Sometimes it’s easy to forget that life is a gift and we just go through the motions without any real thoughts and awareness. Until something happens… often it takes an accident or death of a loved one for us to stop and realise just how precious life is and we are abusing and mistreating our gift.
We get so caught up in time and we think it dictates our life but it doesn’t it’s the means to an end. It enables us to get “stuff” done. Have you ever lost a loved one or had an accident? Time stands still and it is completely irrelevant. All the other things in day to day life doesn’t matter they get washed away. Why?
You are present in that very moment… and you realise that “stuff” doesn’t matter only right here right now matters and that’s the only thing you can change is what’s right there in front of you.
But what if I told you that you don’t have to wait for someone to die or to have an accident, you can change your life right now.
Stop your mind from racing around because please know its playing tricks on you. Your head is dictating your path and its steering you in the wrong direction. Be aware of your thoughts but follow your heart and maybe you have that feeling in your gut?
The only reason why we hear of Mothers lifting cars to save their babies isn’t because we have a super human strength that is tuck away somewhere waiting for this very moment. It’s because in such a circumstance we naturally become present in that very moment and you aren’t even aware of your thoughts or what is running through your mind. You’re following your heart and your heart is saying “Lift that fucking car otherwise my baby will die.”
You do what you have to do in that very moment because that’s all we ever have is that very moment. We can’t change what happened and we can’t change what will happen all we can ever do is what we can do in this very minute.
That’s all we can ever do.
There is only so much healing that can be done eventually we have to stand up leave in the past because it is stopping you from living your life….now…..today. You can’t think about the future with hope and certainty unless you take action today. Just as we can’t live in the past, we can’t live in the future.
All we have is today.
Do something today that makes you laugh, stop and close your eyes take a breath and smile at what is, keep your eyes closed and ask yourself “I wonder what my next thought is going to be?” Keep your eyes closed until you have a thought.
Do that and you are alive right here. right now. and that is a gift.
