In our daily life, we are focus. We set destination after destination. Continuous moving between destinations. When we drive, we also look for the shortest route to our destination and within the shortest time. We are hooking up all the spots in the map from the moment , we wake until we sleep. Joining the dots in our life become our main agenda. Living but actually not knowing how to live.
From Monday to Friday, on our working days : We rush to work, we do our work , we eat our lunch and we continue to do our work until it is time for home. We eat our dinner , we watch our TV and we do some of our office work and we sleep. The routing repeat the next morning until Friday. On Friday, we thank GOD, it is Friday and we will have time for our self on Saturday and Sunday. We wake up and we go for morning walk , we eat breakfast and we watch TV or read newspaper and it is lunch time already and we rush to eat lunch and in the afternoon , we take a power nap and watch some TV programs and Oh, it is dinner time already and we rush for dinner and after dinner, we watch more TV or read more news and finally, it is about time to sleep. On Sunday , the routine is almost the same as Saturday and soon, we are back to work on Monday and history repeat itself over and over. So,why thank GOD on a Friday?
During the holiday break, we travel to a distant place and from morning to night, we go shopping , shopping and shopping. Why are there so many things to buy? We are slave to our cravings. End of the holiday, we are exhausted and we rush home to rest and prepare to catch up with our work which is piling up during our holidays. More work and more busy after a holiday.
Actually, we should slow down and re-look at life. Life is a journey and we should enjoy the process and the time between the destinations. Absorbing the freshness and the strange things on the way. Free and easy. Lay back and relax. Moving with the rhythm of life. If we so wish, we can travel within our self , enjoy our beautiful breath , slow down our heart beats and explore the stillness of our mind. The journey to our inner "self " will replenish us with energy and a new look in life. Understanding our self more and enjoy the simple things within us and playing with our breath and enjoying our food at slow pace and more chewing could bring enormous happiness to us. The feeling swell from inside will be reflected in our outer appearance. A new aura will surround us if we are blissful and happy.
So, don't rush from destination to destination and neglect the time , space and process between it. We need not find our treasures at the designations but it is available all along the way if we are alert and focus, we will be aware of the smaller dots linking all the bigger dots. Every small dot is a fulfillment by itself.
Namaste.
