The best and only version of yourself is what you are now without the thought processing that says there is some other version you should be. Thinking about what you “are not” prevents you from any possibility of being what YOU are. Version “YOU, NOW” never needs an upgrade! Send the programmers home; you’ve got this!

There is nothing you or anyone needs to know about how life will show up for you in order for you to live it. What you know, what others tell you, life must be is in no way how it is. Life is entirely out of your or anyone else’s control, and to buy into any semblance of how to make it work for you is to make it drab, stifling, and boring.
You can, however, bring “you,” as is, to every experience and encounter. That is the “real” you without the illusion that you control anything happening. You are life’s flavor and spiciness, and while you can’t change “what is,” because of “you,” experience can be rich, exciting, fun, and just better. Seriously! Go “spice” it up!

The ultimate presumption of you, me, or any human is that something experienced, learned, suffered through, or becoming enlightened by is transferrable to others (presumedly) needing similar insight. You stand “alone” in your experience, and regardless of how you view yourself in light of that experience, e.g., good or bad, your weakness is your greatest strength, and your “strength” is yours and no one else’s.
YOU are the “first and the last” human in existence. All that is is yours, and then it’s not. There is power in your solemn experience, but only when you internalize your sovereignty. The roar of the lion haunts the night air, not in fear but in the surrounding silence. Calling out your own darkness is heard by everyone.

Life hides nothing from you, and there are no hidden secrets, no formulas for success or security. It unfolds as it does, not “to you” or “for you” or with profound reasons that benefit the wise, knowledgeable, and enlightened. Humans make that stuff up only because they can but shouldn’t.
Making up reasons for your life is the path to frustration and upset. Transparency, wonder, mystery, and excitement are what is and will run the gamut of your human capabilities. Only you can create an illusion or a lie, and that will always separate you from real beauty and truth. Embrace your day and experience its reality.

Eternity is free of any time whatsoever. That is, counting backward or forward can only be experienced as “make-believe,” and either direction takes you from the “now’ where “all that is” exists in infinite splendor. Concentrating your focus on anything separates you from everything.
Your eyes see all they see except themselves in the act of seeing – even in a mirror, they see only a reflection. The all-seeing eye has no focus and no vision. All that is comes from it, and it is beheld only as the created, the infinite. In other words, YOU are the Creator, not the lowly human wishing or hoping for something else. Don’t try wrapping your head around anything. Stare into the abyss and know it’s YOU.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them,” Einstein said, but any thinking, coupled with the interpretive mind, which, by the way, is all thinking, is the same thinking that creates ALL problems. In other words, “thinking” will never solve a problem. What to do?
Listen to your heartbeat, each breath, the blood coursing through your veins, savor the myriad scents carried by the breeze without identifying them, love without criteria. “What to do” is right there in a whisper so loud it shakes the earth. Thinking’s purest form is when it isn’t thinking at all. Did you feel the earth move? You must not be thinking!

You know, when you love life, suffering disappears. All things you judge right or not right give way to splendor, beauty, and myriad wonders all rolled up in “you,” wholly caught up in your experience. Stories, and all suffering, is stories lose their pizazz when living presently and in love. Close the book on your past or future. Living starts now!

You cannot be in the moment if your heart is not with you. An unkind word, thought, or deed is a barrier to your heart, having space to light your experience.

Your mind is a traveler; only its travels are to the unreal. Forward, backward, and all points in between except for the only “point” that matters. Do you know what it is?
Seriously, when does anything real actually happen? Why would you want to be anywhere else than here now? Let the day live YOU, and keep it real!

What you believe is the demise of what is. It throws you into a false fantasy that what you don’t like now can be replaced by something you only imagine. Do you see?
The imaginary pursuit of “something else” takes you out of the present, which is real, and all there will ever be. To “believe” otherwise is to miss that. Don’t miss it! “Now” is too rich and beautiful to waste a second elsewhere!
