What do I want From Life?
Freedom and Simplicity and Interest. No more, and absolutely no less. I want life unchecked. I want the freedom to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. I want to laugh, hard. I want to enjoy the world which is wonderful and amazing. Go ahead, look at jellyfish and try not to be amazed. Those things are awesome, and beautiful and somehow not of this world, but they are. Everything should be like that. I want a very simple life, one that has nothing in it that doesn't make it better, one that has a simplicity of thought, of emotion, a life not filled with clutter or things that are not necessary. A life that is clean and pure and true. I don't want too many things, and I don't want very many things, I just want those things that I need, those things that make life better. I want a life lived day by day, moment by perfect moment, step by step by step. I want a life filled with things and people and places that interest me, that makes me see the moment now, that makes me focus and learn. The world is fascinating if you look at it closely. I want the ability, and the freedom to follow my curiosity, to dig deeper into things that matter to me, and that matter to those around around me. I know am part of a community, and I want to remember that I am part of that community and I want to make it better for me being in it. I want a life built on being part of the world. Too often we find ourselves prisoners of our own shrinking lives, lives created by us, in a world slowly made smaller by the decisions we make and by the actions we decide to do and the things we choose to notice and see. What we create we can change. Life is built of actions, and actions are the results of choices. We need to make our choices, and we need to make choices for ourselves and not let others decide what makes our world better. It is important to know what matters. Every action should be seen as whether it gives us more freedom or less, if it makes our world smaller or does it make it large and blindingly beautiful. Does it make things more interesting? D We often become too focused, too single minded, and we concentrate too much on one thng, which we try to do to improve our discipline, but at the same time, we do it with a seriousness that isn't real. What we do is not earth shattering, and is pretty insignificant on a universal scale. I beleive everything we do is important and everything matters, snd that belief is one of those butterfly wings in China causing a storm in Peru thosands of miles away kind of things, so what we do matters, but we often forget there are other options and that we are never stuck. Each day we open our front door, we literally can walk in any direction, any, as there are truly an infinite number of directions to go, an infinte number of things to be, and we just need to accept that we have that power to decide and chaange our direction at any moment. Any. We often want change, we think we need change, but we also seem to have an internal built in machine in our heads that wants to not change, that seeks to find consistency. We fight a constant battle between being cinstantly changing beings who are trying to remain the same, which is not possible, and we also battle to actively chnge everything else around us to our way of uniquely seeing the world, which is selfish, short sighted, and also not possible. The world is constant change, we are constant change, and you can either spend your life angry and confused trying to prevent that change or you can accept it, become change itself and be an agent of change. Know that the future is a spiderweb of interdependence and that there are infinite possibilities, and you should nimbly jump from strand to strand, choosing your own way. You want to be a person of pure expression, of pure commitment, of pue being. We need to accept that what we are today is not what we have to be tomorrow. We will change, and we can either guide that change or let others define who we will be. D |
