The one thing I have learned in this life, is you cannot change others. You can suggest, you can lead by example, you can ask, but you cannot change someone. So, what you have to work on, is you. If you feel you are doing that properly, well then it doesn’t matter how people respond to you. Why? Because you are living right. Sometimes people see that as a challenge. A, who is she/he trying to show up type of thing. That, you cannot control. Some people live to find the wrong in things, be not one of them. Live happier, live heathier, live righter.
Sometimes life is about the big important events, other times it’s about the little things and just making memories.
Tonight while waiting for takeaway I spotted a little wood across the road that was calling to me. I made my way in and found an old dry branch on the ground to sit on and started to meditate.
I’d only been relaxing for a couple of minutes when I heard twigs cracking. Thinking my peace had been broken by someone walking their dog I was surprised when I opened my eyes to find a baby deer passing by. It eyed me and I bobbed my head in respect, it was her wood not mine. She nodded back to me and carried on past.
I waiting till she left, leaving me with an amazing sense of peace. Then my timer went off and I had to run to pickup my food.
I could have sat in my car, played on my phone, talked to the others waiting. But one simple split decision led to magical memories. It’s a well used phrase but live every minute of your life. You only get the one.
-save for tomorrow but LIVE for today-The thing I've learned about life, in my short time here, is it goes on. As much as we'd like to think we matter, we've made an impact, it's all forgotten. Not many of us will be even heard of, much less remembered in 100 years. By anyone. That sounds cold, but it's true. So enjoy yourself. Enjoy your dog or kids. Enjoy everything around you, because it's all temporary. No need to be sad. Seek new adventures everyday. Do one thing that scares the hell out of you, one thing that makes you smile, one thing that makes you cry, and one thing that makes you feel like you are alive. Because, you are. But not for ever.
Individuals who happen to be better adapted to existing environmental conditions than others have a selection advantage and survive more frequently. This allows them to bring their genes (including their traits) into the next generation more often than individuals who are not as well adapted. THEORY OF EVOLUTION- CHARLES DARWIN
So went to a music festival, and I had a great time.
Now that I’m home I’m suffering from anxiety. Maybe it’s because I go back to work in a day. My house is messy but I can’t seem to get up and do something about it. Just the overwhelming sense of reality is coming back to me..
