Loss can mean letting go
And letting go is freedom
Freedom is the most beautiful space
Where you have access to everything
Because you are love
You are everything
And everything holds on to nothing đ
~ M. L Adams
Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
Loss can mean letting go
And letting go is freedom
Freedom is the most beautiful space
Where you have access to everything
Because you are love
You are everything
And everything holds on to nothing đ
~ M. L Adams
As soon as we define something,
It is limited
When in fact,
There are so many possibilities
That the only question is;
Where do we begin,
Life is an adventure;
Let us truly live it! âïžđ
~ M. L Adams
There’s no rhythm without a pause
No pause without rhythm
Life reflects back
That which you put in
All you have to do;
Is listen đ
~ M. L Adams
You are everything
Yet nothing
Separate yet one
All life is a paradox;
Two but one,
Nothing ever fixed,
Nor gained
As we flow through life;
Separate yet one đ
~ M. L Adams
I am life expressed in all its completeness,
I am beauty, I am love;
I am nature
I am life expressed in all it’s is’ness
I am you,
I am me; I am everything
It is here and now you will see me,
Look around, look within,
I am here; I am everything đ
~ M. L Adams
Life is flow,
A flight of joy
In rhythm, love and light,
With all that’s beautiful and good
Let go of all that no longer serves you,
Lift higher above
Then your life will take you;
Wherever you want to go
~ M. L Adams
The question of what impact do I want my life to have today and in the future often occurs to me. When I ask myself this question it allows me to check back in on whether I’m living purposely in that day or not. The above video is a great reminder of living with this spirit.
I find there is the potential otherwise to waste time on things that may become of far  lesser importance when were to look back on them. In this way I can aim to be living in each moment and there for those who are around me. In essence it is a sense of coming from a point of what really matters most and then living from there.
In the below guardian article titled the 5 regrets of the dying, Bronnie Ware an Australian nurse documented the top 5 regrets of patients in their last days. The top 5 she recorded were;
1.) I wish I had the courage to live true to myself not to what others expected of me.
2.) I wish I hadn’t worked so hard
3.) I wish I had the courage to express my feelings
4.) I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
5.) I wish I had let myself be happier

Knowing these regrets of the dying can really get us to reflect on living a full life where we do not waste our time on things that ultimately don’t matter so much. For all of us it can be slightly different in what we perceive to be most valuable, asking the question what will we want to leave behind is a really good way to understand these, what will be and is most important now? Is it money, the people in your life, the experiences you have? What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind. By knowing the answer to these questions we can then proceed to live as much of our days from these values. Some questions I find good for reflecting on this are;
If we live from this place in every moment we can be sure to be on purpose, living without regret and knowing  we’ve made the most difference possible with our lives â€
Live from the heart
Live from the heart in all you do
Live from the heart as though everyday could be your last
Valuing all that matters most
Knowing you do your best in all you pursue
Most of all know you wasted nothing,
That in every moment you gave your everything
