Letting the light in

Life.

It's not always easy, but it's a gift.

There's a tendency to want to make something of it -- and that's wonderful -- but only through the prism of doing.

But think about it. Is there anywhere to go? Anything to get? Anything to be?

Isn't this moment -- however it unfolds -- perfect?

No.

Wait.
Sit.
Breathe.

If you're lost in a sea of depression or angst, it will pass.

Remember, life (all of it including the thoughts) is impermanent, as is everything else.

I know, it's not the most favourable message to build a brand around but you'll discover as you age that all that doing isn't worth jack sh*t if you still feel lost to this world.

You might then ask, "If I'm not doing, what will happen?"

Nothing.

Nothing in the sense that you won't be rushing around like a mad fool hoping to climb another invisible mental construct -- Covey's ladder is such nonsense. What you'll be doing is accepting this moment and living it fully. That will mean accepting whatever shows up, being more mindful/attentive to the moment and accepting yourself exactly as you are.

And trust me, you will be willed to do some-thing -- think of it as your invisible power. Whether it will be right thing isn't the issue. You'll be moved in the same way you've always been, but this time you won't be looking to affix meaning to it.

It will be what it is.

Nothing more; nothing less.

Have a wonderful day.

Blessings,

Julian
