I realized something, for the past 9 years I was so focused on becoming financially free that I forgot how to live, my focus was so deep that I even missed some of the greatest opportunities to become financially independent.
I realized it doesnt matter whether I am rich, free, busy, working, or anything else, it all dont matter.
What truly truly matters is how I feel, how I feel in the moment. Moment by moment, and guess what? Thinking about it, becoming aware about it, kinda gives me the choice, the ability to select how I want to feel, or at least influence my self to feel something, something good.
I realizes if I am not aware, not in the moment, drifting by, as the day pass, then my overall feelings is negative for that day. However as soon as I start to become aware, my state shift.
I realized that I have been doing so many things for the past few years just to “feel” from drinking coffee to drugs to sex, to money and so on and on, just to feel. But then, when I feel it, the feeling doesnt last. Surprisingly the root causes seems to be my inability to stay present.
Reality is the most magical thing ever there is if one can be present. Presence is so peaceful, there is almost no negative feelings at all when I am present, there is just peace.
This makes me think, how can I be present, and not taking my days for granted, not taking my health for granted, and just be thankful for the new day, the new morning that I keep on getting.
Is there a way to capture this presence from the start? Perhaps a morning walk? Or a morning journalling?
I like this.
