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.

Awareness comes not in the “opening” of your mind. It comes in the closing of it. Your mind loves its platform, knowledge, and ground rules. Life knows none of these things, so it knows no bounds. Neither do you when you are silent and free from what your mind loves.

Right now, in this moment, you have everything. That is, NOW closes the door on any journey you think you are on. Why would you squander present moment effort trying to be somewhere else? Now is where it’s at; the question is, where are you at?

The “road less traveled is still someone else’s road. Do you see? The road “best” traveled is the road “not” traveled. In other words, look before and behind you; if you notice any semblance of a road, you’re on someone else’s. What makes a real difference? Blaze your path and leave no trace that others can follow.

Everything you think or believe fades into unimportance when you know what (who) YOU are. That realm of “unimportance” is the blossoming of all that is beautiful, and yes, it’s ALL beautiful.
Be grateful; the ultimate reality of your experience is like being tickled all day long.

Nothing new or special is coming your way and for that, be grateful. You have plenty to experience right now at this moment that has never existed before and will never exist again. Give the present your all, and you will never want for anything else. “NOW” is your treasure.
