It’s important that we account and remember all the issues we’ve had until the present moment, acquiring priceless pieces of knowledge that we can use as assets at hand to drive our current actions. We should also do it with all positive events associated with our life journey. Let’s suppose we’re driving through a road from home to work, and that road has an open hole that forces a driver to almost stop the car and pass through it at an extremely slow pace. If we aren’t able to find and use an alternative path, we need to be prepared for reducing the velocity of the car before reaching a point that such reduction may pose a risk to our safety. It’s also important to think how we could solve that issue from a collective perspective, preventing others from facing the same issue, and therefore, benefiting anyone who drives through the same road we do every single day. When we start thinking every morning about the problems we had—and are about to experience during the day—using a conscious and meaningful strategy for doing so, we understand that any problem we may experience offers us a huge source of knowledge that we can turn into an asset, making us adjust our current goals and prevent the self to be caught off guard, implying the establishment of a solid foundation we can rely on in order to trespass any imposed barrier during our life journey.
There’s nothing we can do to get back to the past, although we can use past events to enhance and increase our knowledge and wisdom with the passage of time. There’s two main perspectives we can observe the occurrence of issues during our life journey: (a) a complaining one; or (b) a goal-oriented one. When we observe life through a complaining perspective, we feed all negative emotions and get totally consumed by them, being not able to clearly draw goals to move forward. On the other hand, when we draw clear goals we would like to attain—based on the knowledge we’ve at hand about all issues we’ve experienced—we start cultivating and nurturing peace of mind. The reason is almost intuitive: we stop getting worried about neither the past nor the future, focusing our efforts on living and staying in the present moment. That mindset enables us to pay attention to what matters most, becoming fearless of any negativity we may have contact with during our daily activities, which implies a more soft and light attitude towards the self.
It’s from the most difficult times that come the best ideas and solutions to solve any issue we may be experiencing in the present moment. Those ideas and solutions are related to our intrinsic ability of keeping consciousness at hand to think instead of being conditioned to do brainless actions with no clear goal. The moment we realise that, it’s the moment we understand how we can take advantage of issues and vanish them from our own perspective and relativity, eventually. Let’s remember to put no pressure on things we’ve no control of. We can get rid of them, sooner or later.
Let’s rock, do our job, and become the best version of the self every single day of our own existence.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
