Newsflash!!!!
01 of March 2010
Newsflash! Life is a terminal disease……
Wow, it really is…..No matter what any one of us chose to think. Death is as certain as birth. There is absolutely no way around it, nor will their ever be. The time we spend in these physical bodies in finite. And we have no idea how long this might be.
With this mind, my question then is, “why do we take it so seriously?”
No matter what your ‘belief’ system is. If you think we re-incarnate, or go to some form of heaven, even perhaps ‘nothing’….Why so serious? Everything we do becomes history and most of it will be forgotten. What is the big deal? Should be not enjoy the time we have here instead? YES WE SHOULD!
There is only one reason why we don’t enjoy our lives and live to the fullest. We fall into the traps of MIND. Our reality is created by our thinking, and the constant stream of irrelevant questions and incorrect interpretations of the mind cause us to see the world in the wrong sense. We feel trapped and limited as we look at our ‘reality.’
As I have said so many times the mind exists in the past and tries to write the future from there. The problem is that it is not disciplined. It is like letting a 2 year old child run a life. By taming and taking control of the mind it becomes a powerful tool, one that can be used to create the reality of your choice.
The only way to quiet the mind is with mediation. The benefits are worth the effort required 1000 fold. The results you will see in your lfe for the small amount of time invested with shock you.
Change the way you think and the things in your world will change.
