Essence
Good Morning,
Someone once asked me how I turned my life around so dramatically. They wanted to know how one could go from a homeless vagabond to a fairly successful business owner in one lifetime (and so many other diversion in-between!). Well there is no secret, I just began to realize what I was not, which allowed me to see what I could be. I simply recognized the "essence" of life and it all made sense.
If you are unhappy, be unhappy. Do not judge yourself for being that way. It is wonderful to be unhappy, it makes happiness all the sweeter. Love your unhappiness. It means you are ready for change. Allow the unhappiness, there is purposefulness in it.
Remove from your life everything that inhibits you from being the totality of yourself. This is called "becoming". Remove from your thoughts all the have to's, should's, must's. Remove the images you think you must be and just be. Embrace your life. Know that you created it. Love all that you have been, said and done. Know it was all purposeful.
Never see anything as a failure. See everything as an accomplishment. Love the hurt, the pain, the sorrow. For what an experience! What a wonderment! What jewels of wisdom are now in your treasure! Be your own teacher, friend, counsel. Confide in yourself, speak to yourself.
Seek answers that feel right within your soul. Your soul knows what the truth is, and it will tell you through feelings. Always listen to your feelings. They know ... they know. Live, experience, feel. Do not seek to identify yourself. You will never have a point of understanding from which you can say, "This is who I am!", for in each expanding moment of consciousness, you will have changed into the next moment of being. To know who you are is to feel what you feel each moment.
Never do anything, no matter how far you are into it, if you lose the joy of it and it becomes monotonous and mundane. Do away with it and do something else that brings happiness. For perhaps what you needed to learn from it you have already achieved. Go wherever you want to go, Do whatever you want to do, for as long as you want to. Create only for the mere joy of creating. When you create for you, you will soon find yourself living in joy.
Don't ever strive to have anyone understand you. If they wish to understand, they will. Love everyone. Have compassion for all other entities. You do not need to go and take care of them. Love them by allowing them to express however they choose. That is the greatest thing you can do! If they are angered or disappointed by your life, love them by allowing them to be they way. Then you have become a great light, you have understood the essence.
Have a beautiful day, you are a part of it, and contribute to it's beauty like no else can!
Peace and Love, Jim
