What if the act of simply being were enough? What if there was nothing that the world was depending on for its survival that you needed to do? What if there was nothing you could do to improve yourself or save another person? What if you were enough by simply being here. What if your essence, the simple act of your being here and taking on this human birth was all in and of itself just enough? If we take a huge step back from ourselves and our individual lives of experience and consider that the world has been here for billions of years before we arrived and will continue on its own long after we are gone. Our lives from that perspective, 80 years or so, are the blink of an eye. The true essence of who we are came in with us at birth and will continue after our earthly body has returned to dust. Who you are…your truest essence….is your being. Your being cannot be added to or taken away from or improved upon.
Breathe into that for just a moment.
Be with that.
Consider what becomes important in this new year from that perspective.
