At sixty years of age, I am attempting to save myself from the follies of old age. I am running out of time, so I have no time to waste. I now recognize that acquiring material things and seeking sensory gratification is not a road map for happiness. Instant gratification is almost always the enemy of our personal growth. Our society has become conditioned to think that mastery in any craft can be attained overnight. Living in a time that endorses average and mediocrity confines us from challenging the status quo and exploring the true depths of who you are.
I have learned throughout my journey always to confront the truth. No matter how uncomfortable it is. We can spend our whole lives resisting the truth. But luckily the truth does not care. It is always waiting to be set free. I have learned that you are never too old to change the course of your life. As painful as things might seem or get on the journey; time tends to heal all wounds. The light we reflect is the light we live in.
Many of my beliefs throughout life have crumbled upon more in-depth and deeper inspection. A great gift to give others is your attention. Attention is love. But understand you cannot change anyone that does not want to change. Each of us must show up daily and do the self-work. Learning to give guidance without judgment is the beginning of a new kind of relationship with ourselves and others.
You are never too important to be nice to people. Greedy people seldom examine the consequences of their actions. They do what they have to do, to achieve what they want. Everyday practice human kindness. When you enter any space, bring positive energy with you. Our humanity would be in a better place if we talked with someone instead of talking about someone.
Be careful that your ego does not become a roadblock. Our character is defined by the level of integrity we display. No matter where you are, be there entirely. As long as you keep moving forward step-by-step, you are growing. Many of our sorrows arise when the mind disconnects from the spirit. So step outside your comfort zone and endeavor every day to look at the world around you with awakened eyes, a curious mind, and a heart filled with love. Don't just do it. Be It!
