Open heart open mind
Navigating through this life of mine
Trying to learn from every experience
Learning to recognize and treasure the fleeting good
acknowledging mistakes and pain, grieving and then move past
Understanding the need of self knowledge and truth
Paired with the very human needs, wants, hopes and dreams
Trying to live fully within the limitations we're given
To live in truth, compassion and forgiveness
Forgiveness of ourselves first and then of others
Accepting our flaws while attempting to minimize them
To embrace the concepts of living with no regrets
Having no true control over life other than the choices we make
New to me but old in tune but still valid, true and blue. And never a moment of peace or calm to reflect the lack of serenity within or without. Those moments are fleeting at best. You think you'll always be able to come back there and find it's elusive and just out of reach. It seems the more you reach for calm and peace the further away it goes. The inner world is the place we need to come in balance with but it's so hard to quiet the background noise buzzing around the brain to obtain that equilibrium. What's come around goes around so remember to give smiles, calm, serenity when confronted with hostility or unkindness.
So what can we expect? Nothing much I believe. Just take each experience as it comes and ride the ride. Come what may just enjoy today and the present day as it comes clearer and clearer until the reality of today presents itself. And tomorrow's another day and just waiting to be experienced. And just enjoy the here and now
And live everyday like it's the last one and be in the present moment which is but a second chance to live and learn again and relearn everything once more. Too bad we must start all over every time. Again and again. Over and over.
Stop the cycle, learn and take a different path with a lighter heart and spirit. Love yourself enough to change your negative patterns or behaviors. That's the whole point. Live, learn, and change and evolve. Release the engrained habits - free yourself from the bonds you tied yourself up with. Become the higher being you need to become - you've always had the ability to change. Becoming... The better you! No one can stop the becoming other than you! So welcome the welcoming and it's necessary changes.. The becoming is hard to achieve but is the next step in our path. Evolving is so hard because the habits become patterns and cycles and to step outside and view yourself clearly is next to impossible most of the time. So then the path clears and the way revealed its way a revolution and a new clarity emerges.
