Are you lost on a so-called path you believe is “your path.” Only if you believe there is a path you think you could get lost on. YOU are not lost! You never are, nor is anyone else. Being lost while living is impossible unless you create the path you think you must be on and somehow veer from it instead of embracing where you are now. Do you see the problem? It’s “thinking.” So stop thinking, look down, and consider where you are; this instant is the only place you could be, and it took no thought whatsoever to be here. Your experience is what it is right now, so why muck it up with something you call a path and made up in your mind? The “beaten path” is unreal, but where you are NOW is real. Get off the beaten path and Stop thinking you need to be somewhere other than where you are!

Failure is always something you think, so stop thinking. Oh, and by the way, there are no failures in life! This includes you.

And how do you change the world? You don’t, nor could you or anyone else. Change is little more than rearranging furniture. Yes, stuff gets moved around, but it’s still the same house. So, what do you do? You “transition back.” In other words, you “go back” to what you are, which is what you were before you became you. That is the “egoic you” that has enveloped your innate divinity. Those who are successful at the transition (back) provide an impetus for others to do the same. If the momentum is strong (it will be if you genuinely transition), the effects will be widespread, affecting many “individuals, such as yourself. Still, it is you and only you who can transition.

Your assessments and analyses of your experience destroy the experience. Do you see? Your experience will never yield to your thoughts of what it is. Life does not pass us by; we pass by it by simply thinking about it instead of embracing what it already is.

Your wants disempower you. Your needs lull you into illusion, and your possessions enslave you. Minimize all three to experience more freedom, less stress, and unconstrained joy.

Only you can change the world, but it will have nothing to do with the world changing.

Beyond any idea of a purpose, you possess something infinitely more profound and beautiful. It’s called “life,” and all it ever asks of you (or anyone) is to live it regardless of your place in it. Do you understand?
Where you are is not where you are supposed to be. Where you are “IS” because YOU are, and no one in all eternity will ever experience life as you do NOW. Nothing exists without YOUR experience of it; nothing.

The success of the ego measured in rightness. The more right we think we are or need to be, the more egocentric we are. Embracing wrongness, now there’s a twist. Give it a try.
