Let me tell you a story about life.
Life is fun.
One big bowl of super wonderful crunchy fun covered in milk ( or soymilk if you are lactose intolerant).
But sometimes the "n" is removed in fun and as a result, you go through periods of "f-u". These periods are just moments however, but the energy of these rough patches can seem to linger on and on. Despite what the emotions tell a person, a second lasts only a second, a minute lasts only a minute and hour lasts only, etc, etc.....well, you get it.
Each moment that passes, a person (at any time during the day) can ask the self " What am I doing right now, at this very moment and how can this moment move me ahead spiritually?"
By asking yourself this question, you can obtain an appreciation for each moment and will begin to see that life is but that, just a series of events connected. Up has down, night has day, life has death, joy has sadness and on and on.
It can be tough at first to really " Be turned on" ( No, not in that sense) to ones surroundings, to be able to truly be present, aware and in an active state of what I like to call "Constant Introspection". But if you stick to it, life puts the "N" back in fun and you will soon see that the "Rough Patches" are the same as the "Fun Patches".
They are both just moments in time.
So seeker of all that is peaceful and happy ha ha wonderful, what are you doing right now, at this very moment and how can this moment move you ahead spiritually?
