Life is calling out to us every moment, to lighten up and to not take ourselves or things seriously. How has it served us so far? Planning, scheduling, making timetables and routines and trying to create order and discipline in our lives.
Struggling, stressing, with no time for ourselves and all we got, was feeling tired and depleted. Even socializing and holidays became more a matter of stress rather than enjoyment. Life is telling us to do a rethink. To go back to being simple, childlike and spontaneous again. Being in the moment. Fearless, free and light and treading lightly on each moment as if we were walking on flowing water. Which is what life is. Fleeting, flowing, changing and there is just so much love, joy and beauty around us, if we only pause and look with the eyes of spirit and its limitless color, beauty and movement. Like a dance. The clouds, the breeze, the rain and the music, of birds, of flowing water, of leaves rustling. Works of art strewn everywhere with unimaginable colors and design with nothing planned and no striving for perfection. Yet so much perfection in imperfection. As in our lives as nothing goes as planned, yet everything unfolds perfectly. Taking time off to rest, to pause and to do what makes us happy.
Spending time with, laughing with, cherishing loved ones. Being there for others when they need our loving attention and space, and not always being too busy or having excuses. These are our true investments, our precious returns, our wealth. These are what give our spirits life and meaning. Jump headlong into the moment. Act from the heart, speak your truth fearlessly. You may never get a chance again. As for fear, Act and respond from the heart and the Universe will never let you fall. Or if it does, it will catch you. Life is a gift, a blessing. The moment we change, our lives change too. From merely existing to truly living.
