Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.
Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had.
The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.
No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.
People sometimes fail to live because they are always preparing to live.
Don’t hurry anything. Don’t worry about the future. Don’t worry about what progress you’re making. Just be entirely content to be aware of what is.
Insecurity is the result of trying to be secure.
By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.
We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.
Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone.
