Alive on a Stormy Day
Live your life today with passion - no matter what! This statement is a big part of the recipe of life. There's always going to be stuff coming. Sorrow, loss, grief, joy... life is a cornucopia.
Almost everywhere people feed the discontent of your life; in movies, commercials, slick magazines etc.. It is like society programs people to be weak. Of course passion comes from with in yet, we need to build each other rather than destroy.
It is a challenge to accept your life now - just as it is. The "if onlys" are strong. "If only I had more stimulating, fulfilling work; if only I had more money in my bank account; if only I was more assertive; if only I could move forward" you fill in the blank. What I offer in this forum is a tip that works for me most of the time.
Tip: How can you be happy NOW even though the discontent that is hard wired in us all is right there within you?
Answer: Live in the moment fully. This is it.
For example, let me explain.
Today my wife and I walked to the store. The weather was windy, the sky was filled with dark clouds - a storm was approaching. Yet, the moment was invigorating, refreshing and totally NOW. My mind was no where else. I felt so alive.
Someone once wrote: "Have a love affair with life."
What do you say about that?
