WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT… (PART 3)

By

Life is about: 

  • building relationships based on love and freedom, as opposed to building them based on fear or personal goals/interests.
  • understanding that growth is an evolutionary process, as opposed to deep rooted traditions, rituals, creeds, and doctrines.
  • living consciously every single moment (here and now), as opposed to living unconsciously and automatically in the past or the future.
  • experiencing everything to the fullest, as opposed to having faith in something you do not know or have not experienced.
  • pursuing our full potential as human beings, as opposed to just living a meaningless biological, material life.
  • taking responsibility for who we are, as opposed to victimizing ourselves and blaming everyone else for what has happened to us.
  • being grateful for absolutely everything, as opposed to taking anything for granted, feeling entitled and/or always wanting.
  • taking an inner pathless path, without destination, milestones, or even sign posts of self-discovery and development, as opposed to a well-defined external path based on rules, laws, and doctrines.
  • understanding that happiness, peace and joy are simple decisions, as opposed to goals or destinations.
  • living such an exuberant life that you feel high at all the time, as opposed to using drugs, alcohol, and other substances to be able to experience other sensations different than the perceived mundanity of life.
  • accepting every single instant as is, as opposed to how we want it to be.
  • understanding that everyone is right in their own right and perspective, as opposed to trying to impose our own right or perspective.
  • letting everything go, as opposed to being attached to everything.
  • realizing how insignificant we are as a species and how significant we can be as individuals, as opposed to thinking we, as individuals, are so great, wonderful or special.
  • choosing and walking our own selected path and be who we really want to be, as opposed to allowing society and opinions to decide what our paths are and who we are.

WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO

During this period of the COVID-19 like in any other period of our lives, one of the greatest sources of our suffering is our need to “control” everything. We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
