True Soul

The world is not that bad of a place, that is something I have slowly realized. Matter of fact the world is pretty great. It is just a little dot in the magical, mysterious universe. Thinking about that really helps me to see that my problems are not that big, they are so little that they probably do not even exist. They are just these stories that I hold onto in my mind.

Staying present is how to get rid of these stories. Stories such as I am just an accountant, I am not good enough, I cannot follow my true dream. Looking forward to the future with fear and looking back to the past with grief, I hardly have time just be right here and now, which is all we really have. Did you hear that? The here and now is all we really have. I am honestly just an innocent little child that does not need anything more than just to be right here in the present. So are you. We are all innocent and just trying to do our best in this world based on our own experiences.

I have decided to stop judging others, I have decided to stop blaming others for all my problems. Honestly I have decided to just start looking at the positive. I could literally be homeless right now and all my outside circumstances could be spiralling out of control, but my inner being would indeed be grateful. I would come to the present and stop putting all these stories and projections on my outside circumstances. I would remember that I am breathing, that there are others in the Universe, that the ground is beneath me, and my inner being is still the same. I would know I am safe to be me.

I have decided to forgive, I have decided to really set myself free with forgiveness. Because I could hold onto all the old stories about how my family or friends wronged me, but once again, they were just doing their best based on their experiences. So am I. So I decided to forgive. I am free and so are they. You are free too, the moment you decide to forgive too. Do it for yourself.

I have decided to just enjoy life, damn it! (Excuse my french). But can I just vent for a minute? Like seriously, we all forgot that life is for fun!! We are allowed to have fun! Take a bath, do something that lights your heart up! Call off sick! Go to Hawaii! We do not have to go to work, go home, sit and watch TV, go to the gym, and repeat that cycle every single day! I have decided to do things that help me to get into alignment. I put on my favorite song and dance like noone is watching. I play my guitar without fearing a wrong note. I write blog post without wondering what people might think. I meditate and do some headstands. Going for long walks. Whatever gets you into alignment, do it! I have stopped putting it off. Because filling myself up with that love will pour out and inspire others too.
