●The Beauty of Life
Life is mostly made up of routines and patterns. We act them out everyday and they are what make up the bulk of our lives. Most of us live life according to a socially acceptable template, within the realm of safety, while living repetitively and dreaming of ways to escape. We want to be spontaneous yet we are tied down to these routines. It might be boring and yet even a little unnerving as we hope something fun and adventurous to happen if we manage to skip the same old routine. While we were worrying about the fun we might not get to experience , we have already lost valuable time by worrying.We didn't realize that everyday's "ordinary" event can turn "extraordinary" if you take a closer look. I've realized that even if you're not exactly where you'd like to be , that doesn't mean you can't live a little more lively. All that you have to do is just open your eyes.
We are constantly surrounded by miracles but we don't recognize them.This would be because they come to us so easily.We tend to overlook the little gestures that would make our day.For example , our brain is so complex that breathing comes as an easy bound nature to us that we don't have to think about it. What if we had to think about breathing? Would we manage to live our life's like now? or are we so preoccupied by the fact that we have to think to breath we cant accomplish anything at all.Isn't it amazing how we don't have to think about it as it comes so easily to us.
Now multiply that by a trillion. Every breath that comes from us is a miracle as it is what makes us alive right now.We tend to be caught up in the drama of everything that is sometimes insignificant to us.We tend to think that looking at the beauty of life is hard to look at.Realizing that everything holds it's own beauty in it's own special ways is possible.All we have to do is look at things a little differently.
Boredom due to routine is a fiction of the mind. In reality, there are no ordinary or extraordinary moments. There is beauty everywhere. To truly understand beauty, we can look at bad things to good things as the experience teach us the ways to be unshakable and strong.Opening our hearts and eyes can lead us to seeing things in a whole new prespective. Opening your heart is a matter of accepting yourself and life as it is.It's just a matter of forgiving yourself and other.It's also about letting go all of your resistance to the flow of life and the flow of circumstances. I know, it's easier said than done.
Other than that , another easier way to enjoy the beauty of life is by not being so judgemental. Have you ever noticed that once you start judging someone it immediately puts you in a negative mood? The judgement we make is because the person isn't comforting in our ways of mind. Just because they act a little strangely we label them as something inappropriate. Everyone's values are different,and that's what makes life interesting. While we may at times tend to make justifiable judgement , they're still ultimately not worth it.As the saying goes "compassion is a better vehicle for change than judgement" , the next time we want to make a judgement we need to try a little compassion instead.Let your feelings for the need to judge be a reminder for you to practice compassion.Beauty is experienced in a state of peace, not a state of condemnation. And yes, non-judgement do include the need to stop complaining.
I think I'm moving, ,
but I go nowhere
