When genuinely engaged in real-time, e.g., present moment awareness, all human interactions, friend or foe, will appear silly and, perhaps, a bit mundane. You may also find yourself giggling that you were once so foolish.
Live with abandon. You cannot fail at life, nor will you be graded in any way for anything you do. Only humans carry around a red pen. Have fun, not fear. Love your friendships and feuds. It won’t affect your success in life, but it will make it more enjoyable.

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.

If you think you must dwell on the past, conjure up your trials and tribulations, you give way to a severe drain on your power, and that will hold you captive to emotionality instead of reality. If you must go to your past, only go to those points where you were empowered, healthy, and whole. Eventually, you will build up enough power to stay ever-present because your reality does not happen behind you nor in front of you.
The real transformation in life is YOU, powerful, NOW! Be present, be strong, be life!

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!

Imposing your rules on life only serves to interfere with it, and not for the better. Imagine your fist raised against a river’s flow, demanding it change its course. Oh, the hubris to think you have any control over anything. Silly!
Observe “what is” with humility and quiet. Life un-interfered-with is not something you wrestle with by applying your version of what it should be. Instead, it is something to behold with reverence and awe.

Remembering is the alter-ego of forgetting. Forgiveness’s elemental power is freeing you to know “what YOU are,” but that can’t happen if you hang on to things that take you from it, e.g., all that you remember.
Sure, you can move on, but without forgetting, the anchor of remembering grows more massive, and the power of forgiveness fades under the weight. The loss is only yours, and it is an enormous loss. Forgive and forget; if you don’t, you’ll never “remember” YOU!

What you say about anyone says more about you than the reality you think you are expressing. There is but one side to any one of us worthy of expression, if at all, and that is, we are Gods, steeped in human form and experience. You can be the love that is only expressed in the God you are or the human who is judgmental, egoic, and easily waylaid by collective streams of consciousness.
It doesn’t matter which way you go, but I promise you, Gods have way more fun, no stress, and endless joy. Oh, and Gods don’t choose; they create “what they are,” continually smiling at the silliness of the human forms they experience. Is that YOU, smiling?

Your search for truth, enlightenment, awareness, or whatever you call it is comparable to procrastination, which is little more than a purposeful pursuit of comfort and safety while fully aware that you are wasting time. It is never about what you may find. It’s about looking for what already is, which is scary because it’s right here, right now, and the safest way to put it off is to make stuff up that isn’t real, like your story of suffering, triumph, dreams, and ambitions.
What YOU are, buried beneath your procrastination, will never be told. IT can only be lived wholly and entirely without the comfort and safety your mind makes up. “Know thyself.” While scary, it’s a joy ride like nothing else you will ever experience.

Let go of the narrative that this has been a stressful year. You’re here now, and it is clean, pure, and unsullied by anything you don’t think about. Every moment you live with awareness is unprecedented beyond anything you compare it to from the past or make up about the future.
There are wonders to experience in the most routine and imposing human activities if you detach from those activities and any collective narrative that espouses them. “Know thyself,” and all that’s left is love and mindless abandon that allows the world to show itself in ways you, otherwise, could not fathom. It’s an incredible day; “let go” and enjoy it.
