Look to this day
For it is life, the very life of life
In its brief course lie all the verities
And the realities of your existence;
The bliss of growth;
The splendour of beauty;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision:
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope,
Look well therefore to this day!
Truth is a pathless road.
A road that is not a road.
It is total expression that has no before or after.
How can there be methods and systems by which to arrive at something that is living?
To that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path but not to that which is living
~ Bruce Lee ~
Choose to see the truth,
Choose to see the reality
Underneath all you chose before;
What existed and always exists
The truth is always there,
Let go of the fear;
It’s not real
One of the greatest gifts I have found on my journey so far is that of freedom, true inner freedom. I say gift because it is one we all have innately yet so many of us fail to acknowledge it, it can sometimes take a journey of realisation to do so.
This is what happened to me after too many years of living in a place where I’d felt trapped both inwardly and outwardly, now I know this truth and I see it very clearly so much so I had forgotten how so many don’t.
After having this recent insight I felt passionately about sharing it with you to always remember your freedom of choice. To remember you are innately free by the freedom to choose, no matter what. I really do believe it can be this simple, as simple as a choice. None of us are prisoners and even if you are in the external sense, you still have the freedom of choice in what you believe, and in what you perceive things to mean for you and your life.
Choice is our greatest gift and the biggest illusion is in believing that we do not have a choice.
I find it shocking now when I see what some people will accept and in effect to choose to suffer because they are in this illusion that they do not have a choice, when they really do. If you are suffering in a job, relationship or any circumstance you always have a choice. Always head towards your joy.
As Joseph Campbell stated;
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where before there were only walls.
There is so much truth in his words and doors really do open up before you when you make a choice to follow your bliss.
When we only look externally or at the conditions we may be in, it can appear that we are trapped in some way, but there is always a choice even if only in how we choose to perceive it and this alone can change everything.
The greatest choice I believe is that of either love or fear, one on which everything can be based. In reality we are all free, we only need to choose it for it to be realised.
In helping others we also help ourselves;
In serving others we also serve ourselves,
To love is to open and flow;
There is the flow of love and kindness,
All we need is within and around us ❤
If I could share with you anything;
I’d say never forget who you really are,
That diamond heart,
You are here and now,
Never from the past
If I could tell you anything,
I’d say never forget how loveable you are,
No matter what’s happened, or what you were told
Always remember, how strong you are
No matter what happens,
Your the kindness within
The heart that sings,
The truth underneath; all the beauty within
No matter what happens,
Always forgive
All the fear is false,
Live from your heart; always with love ❤
Trusting in our intuition is something we often hear of and how important and useful it is for successful results. The challenge I often found was how do we know what is our intuition or what instead is fear of the unknown.
This has been a journey of realisation for me and I have found one of the most important things is to recognise your intuition (being within you) is very personal to you and your experience in how you learn to follow it.
With me it has taken me several times in ignoring it and then realising that I would have been better having followed it to realise the truth within. Since having learnt to follow it more things in my life are flowing far easier in the direction I want to go, not only that but I feel happier and more at ease in myself.
Following our intuition more often than not seems to involve going against what may appear the sensible thing and sometimes the thing we want to do, and in following it there can be some fear due to the unknown beyond it. Yet if we never step in to the unknown we may never experience anything other than where we have already been, we may never be able to experience that which we are seeking or create new possibilities and achieve our dreams.
If this is something you can relate to then from my experience I would say always trust your intuition, whenever I have not listened to my intuition it has only led me in to pain or struggle. Your heart always knows and it can very much be a head vs heart thing where it can take a while to learn to trust in your heart over your head and it does take courage, but I know I will now always be drawn to do so and I hope so for you too. ❤
In my words I would term it like this;
Follow your heart, it leads you to the unknown, where there are gifts you would never otherwise know.
Or as the great Steve Jobs said;
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you want to become.
