If you stand aside and carefully observe, you may see that your life is just
like a cartoon, and you're everything, from a Tasmanian devil who can spin
into a twister to a rabbit who can noisy quarrel with a hunter.
But
most of the time you resemble a figure of Wile E. Coyote - the
calamitous figure who has been desperately trying and spectacularly failing to
catch his desire. Just like poor Wile you can never count on
your plans...
The most important thing in life is to be conscious
To be conscious means to be aware of self and to be considerate
for others. That may sound strange to you, you may come to conclusion that
money, fame and power are more important in this life from just being aware.
Oh well.
On this infinite sense of presence, your emotions,
feelings and thoughts have came. That is your cartoon, just bunch of false
things. In truth, you're peace and happiness, the only permanency in this
restlessness called life.
What do you really want?
Happiness! I think that is what you want. But here lies the
catch. Seeking a peace of mind is a problem. The running is a problem. For you
as you are now, the happiness is not an original thing, it is secondary, it is
a byproduct of something else. I am afraid that you just seeking satisfaction
and consequently your happiness depends entirely on your imagination. The
imagination is a big problem.
It’s never too late to be whoever you
want to be. Simply change your point of view, whenever you want. You can
change or stay the same, it is your life. You can make the best or the worst
of it. I wish you make the best of it.
And I wish you see things that wonder you. I wish you feel love you never felt
before. I wish you meet crazy people with a different points of view. I wish
you live a life you’re proud of, if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to
start all over again.
You have forgotten yourself
You lost yourself in your marriage, in your kids, work, in
senseless career and in search for happiness. Instead of living the life as it
comes you're constantly running to suit others, desperately trying to maintain
a good outlook of what others think of you.
The others aren’t at
fault. Everything that is in front of you is there because you, and you alone,
put it there. How could you possibly expect anyone to value yourself when they
are confused, unconscious and distorted mess, just like you.
Realize
the reason for your constant search for happiness, you are not living the life
for yourself, you are living it for other people and you're doing a pretty bad
job of it. If you want to change, first you have to see your real position and
in doing so, you need to figure out how to change. It will not happen
overnight. It will take you couple years to get rid of some false ideas. And
the key is to be aware.
Be aware, be present, conscious human being
I discovered that when I am in the present moment, I am far less
likely to keep tripping up. Although I still do wrong tings, I'm rectifying
things sooner and understand the reasons behind the mistakes. I also have
learned that I will always, always make mistakes, regardless of how much I've
known because of simple reason of my forgetfulness of who really I
am.
I'm writing this blog, describing the people that have strongly
resonated with me and what have I learned from them...
Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ranjit Maharaj, Jed McKenna, U.G. Krishnamurti,
Bukowski, Gurdjieff... I quote them often and I try to remember their sayings. I use this blog
to motivate me, to help me stop running after my imagination and to be a
conscious being.
It is up to you to convince yourself to these words
Living unconsciously as in a dream you've attracted all kinds of
wrong people and rubbish into your life. Made a conscious decision to stop
filling your head with negativity, first of all about yourself. You're not
unique, different, something, YOU ARE NOTHING. Enjoy that freedom.
Can
you, just for a moment, honestly think long and hard about those that you love
and those that love you. Let them know, show them your love, get close to
them.
Don't take people for granted and assume they already knew their place in your
life. Made a conscious decision to love openly whoever you chose to and let
them know that, with actions rather than just words.
You're living a hilarious cartoon
It is true, You're living a lie, a hilarious cartoon, so stop
living it according to the expectations of others. Mother, father, wife,
lover.. boss, coworker, friend... you've seen that you could be whoever and
whatever you chose to be. Those that truly love you will accept you all the
same and those are the only ones that really matter in your life.
Life
free from judging is wonderful. Don't take yourself so seriously, stop taking
people seriously. Someone, somewhere will always disapprove your words
regardless of how hard you try. Stop trying to please anyone.
Believe
in yourself and live life as the best as you can truly don't giving a fuck
about opinions of other people. Realize fully that YOU ARE NOTHING. It
is liberating and refreshing and it's simply the best and most loving thing
you can ever do for yourself.
