Everything external is temporarily. I've realized that as go about my life that things, feelings, people and places, they all come and go. No one is here to stay for good except yourself. That's all you should ever become attached to. I mean people are great, honestly and I've meet so many amazing people who have done a unanimous amount for me. But these people have came and went. They all are temporaliy, just like how the wind blows. One moment they're there and the next they're gone. It's how life is. It's how the external world works. Never become attached to something external because once it's not there, you won't be content with it. You'll feel pain, loneliness and despair. I've been there before with people and objects. You can never expect anything to be in your life forever expect yourself. Nothing is forever and nothing lasts forever! You were so used to that being there that when it isn't, you can function right. Always seek within because there, everything will stay. Find peace and happiness within your own self and understand that what's on the outside doesn't necessarily matter too much. I used to destroy myself because I would become so attached to external things. I've gone through some of my darkest phases becoming too attached to things. It's in that darkness where you grow the most with yourself though. Without that darkness, I wouldn't have learned nearly as much as I would've without it. I'm on my own path now and my search is now internal. I'm on an internal journey with myself every single day. I consider myself on my own spiritual path. Being on this path though, does not prevent me from more darkness but it's taught me how to use the darkness as a tool to grow. Have a great day, show some love and seek internally, you'll live in peace forever, the only forever that's guaranteed!

I feel like as a growing teenager, that my job won't ever be one thing. I feel like it's so hard for me to stick with one thing. I'm such a curious person and I always crave learning new things, activities, skills, etc. I pick up something, try it out and then choose if I want to continue and experiment more. I'm also picky too by the way. But even when I enjoy something, I also tend to lose sight of it because I constantly become fascinated in new things. Like I said, I always wanna try new things, except food haha... as of now hopefully. I'm open minded though. I feel as if doing many things is my career you know? Everything that I'd do would contribute to the world in some form. I see myself as a creator and honestly we all are. As I learn myself more, I feel like I always gotta be doing things I love. I want my job to be like my hobby almost but I'm still getting paid and can be financially stable. And the money shouldn't even matter but we still need it anyway to be stable beings and doing what we want, sadly, kinda. Well at least for my ideal life, I think I might need some money. My life is more so focused on experience rather than money. I find joy in so many little things now. The little things like a conversation with someone about a topic your passionate about, waking up and the sun is shining bright and the sky's are clear, getting into a warm bed every night, reading a great book that takes you in for an adventure, making people laugh, waking up at 5:30 every morning, realizing I have an hour and 30 left to sleep before I have to get up for school or even getting to play a friend in Super Smash Bros. Melee :) Those are some of the kind of little things I find joy in (there's too many more to share). There's so many little things out there to love and as I appreciate them more, I become a happier individual. Don't really know where this post went and idc but I just wanted to share something about me.
To be at peace means to be completely comfortable with being yourself.
Your mind can be self destructive when it has been conditioned to resist the reality of your true being; who you really are. Your mind develops a false perception that has been given to try and understand the whole of your existence, but the mind is limited. Everyone knows who they are, we can all feel it deeply within ourselves. I've realized that there's no need to try and struggle to be yourself, you just have to be. But this is way too simple for the complex mind. It needs to know everything, it craves to find for more logic, more knowledge, a more intellectual understanding of things. Yes it's good to be open minded and have a sense of curiosity but there's a point where it can become unbalanced, your mind begins to take control and it causes distribution in your life such as anxiety, stress and overthinking. The mind however, is incapable of knowing the totality of your being. In order to find peace you have to learn to let go of the mind's tendency to define and control everything, and just relax and flow with what is. I've began to understand that trying to control everything, serves no purpose in my life. Being able to let go sometimes when needed, will take you so far with yourself and can actually help you become a more mindfull individual. But that doesn't mean you totally take away overthinking and negative thoughts but it's about realizing when to let go of them. Realizing what's serving a purpose and what isn't. Your mind will try to find the pieces to solve the imaginary puzzle it has created aka the "problem" and this will lead to an endless loop of overthinking. Stop trying to define and control everything and just relax, let it be! You are alive. That is enough. Be content with just being. Be content with your self. No matter what happens in your experience, just remember you can always find peace by just relaxing, breathing consciously and creating a sense of space within. Your peace is more important than the problems your mind creates. You have control only of yourself and reaction. Personally, my motivation this year and on, is to continuously grow into the best version of myself and by that means being my true self and that I no longer want force nor resist things, what happens, happens, whatever crashes, crashes, everything must flow. I only have space and energy for things that are meant for me. The potential is always there. I feel like as a human race, we all need to learn how to properly love each other. A majority of us think we know what it feels like to love and be loved. We think we know what love is. But can you define love? Impossible, there's too many aspects to love to define it as one. I do know that true love is eternal and unconditional. To love unconditionally is to love someone for who they are at all times. Good or bad, pretty or ugly, rain or shine, you must love them through all that. Under all conditions. We have to accept everyone for who they are even when they're at their worse. We're all humans! We make mistakes and we aren't perfect. No one should be judged based on their current state. We have to learn to love people for those mistakes and imperfections because that's what makes them beautiful. It's what makes them an amazing and unique human being. Smile at the flaws because you know they're so much more than that. We have to stop loving each other so shallow because deep down, internally, we're all the same. We're all alike and similar in so many ways internally but so different externally. What you do to someone else only reflects back to you and affects you directly. If you hate another being, you'll only realize that your putting hate in yourself. Love someone internally because that will always be there in. What's on the inside will never disappear but what's on the outside will. The external part of humans are temporary. You can't love someone for their outside because one day they may not look the same, they may not act the same and that's okay because if you love them for so much more than that, your love will last eternally. You won't have to worry about the outer changes because you know that what's on the inside is more important. It's unconditional love. Loving everyone on this planet because they're simply here, because simply without them, you wouldn't be here. At the beginning there was only one being and from there, we evolved and multiplied so how are we not one? Realize the true essence of every human and learn to love unconditionally so that we can all progress and walk with each other stronger than ever as one. One love. ❤
You know that feeling of just being, like having no control over life and your just at one with it. I love that sense of peace and calmness when you no you have absolutely no control over the situation. You feel so free. It's honestly true freedom. Those days where you can just lay in bed for hours and never have to worry about doing anything. Your just there with the moment, being. You feel so alive when you begin to do things with love and acceptance. You never question what's going on but merely just go with everything. Life is so crazy and inconsistent sometimes that you can't become attached to outer sources. You can't look externally for a sense of being, it's only within. Only within YOU will you align yourself with the now of life. That BEING the moment you're in. You see when your just being, your never worried about anything because you don't label anything. Everything is seen as is. There's no need to label anything in life because then it takes away from its true essence. When we label things, being becomes meaningless and life becomes gray and dull. I love to read of book knowing I'm not going to get tested on it, saying and doing whatever I want knowing that the people who truly love me will accept me for whatever I do and if they don't then it's okay because I love myself, I love spending time with people who just appreciate me being there and don't want to change anything. That's what being is like for me and there's so many more ways to just be. Love yourself and never do anything that doesn't serve you an inner purpose. When you find your true inner self, the external world will begin to align with your inner world and you'll feel the peace and being of life every single day! It's truly an amazing thing when you can just be with the flow of the life. The true spirit of life. Being.
Conciousness is the great mystery! We know it exists simply because we are conscious. There does not need to be an observation of the observer to confirm its existence, to observe is to be. A wise teacher once said "We can never know the great mystery but we can know enough to trust it" and it is this trust in our direct experience that brings us joy.
Life is here and now and only experiencing reality directly do we feel at home in this reality. Can we honestly ever turn subjective experience into an object of knowledge? Is this not why science cannot explain what conciousness is, as they try to study it apart from themselves? How can we step out of ourselves to observe ourselves? Can we see our own eyes or taste our own tongue? As humans, the more we identify ourselves with thought and form, the more we become trapped in the illusion of separation. So many are living through their minds, lost dwelling in their own mental chatter. For as long as we're lost in thought, we are not able to experience the depth of our presence, the connection that comes from direct experience, from perceiving life without dissecting it and dividing it into concepts and opinions, all of which are from language and culture. Conciousness is an amazing thing and I'm so glad to be apart of this source of being! |
