Read on — You Have Nothing to Lose

Once in a while on our journey to forever, we are given a chance to pause and reflect. To reflect on the unexpected revelations we encounter along the way.

In many cases, the life instructions that are passed on to us teach us to choose what life should be like and our time that needs to be devoted to that which we search for. Certainly there are those momentary glimpses of ultimate wisdom we see around us, which promptly are forgotten in our mad rush to accumulate.

We are asked to construct a vision board of she who we wish to be, of he who we want to become and that what we wish to own. And then are told to fashion our every waking moment towards that goal.

Is this what we wish to teach our children? And our children’s children. And their children? And on and on? It has been that way for millennium.

I reflect on what so many are teaching in the assemblies of self help actualization. This is that is taught — And then a bit more thought asks,

“And what has been the result?”

We gain what we call worldly wisdom and accumulate material matter, that with careful tending stays with us till we leave this plane. And after we leave, all the many days we have stayed here are simply added to our soul wisdom. Maybe though, when we look at the last thoughts of our friends leaving us, there might be a bit of ironic reflection.

This is a list of the most common things the dying wished as they were leaving this life — It is readily available anywhere. Please spend a moment, think , and reflect

• I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
• I wish I didn’t work so hard
• I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
• I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
• I wish that I had let myself be happier.
• I wish I cared less of what others think
• I wish I didn’t worry so much
• I wish I took better care of myself
• I wish I didn’t take life for granted
• I wish I lived in the now

This morning a dear friend of mine sent this quotation to me

« Sometimes you have to let go of the picture

of what you thought life would be like –

and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living”

A simple and profound revelation for me

Here’s a simple answer. Trust, for trust is a holy word — trust that there is an intelligence greater than us, that that intelligence, which is known by different names in many circles, has an overriding influence in our current affairs. And that intelligence loves its creation so much so, it has given us the ultimate power — to grow or wither according to our own choice.

But there is another option — that is to accept that we can live as if there is no tomorrow, that yesterday is no longer and the now is the ultimate.

Live as if there is no care in the world — for to worry about an event or a thing, automatically attracts that to us with an irresistible force. We become what we think about most of the time. One says he has to concern himself about the mortgage payment, how to put food on the table and how to take care of the necessities such as bills and upkeep.

Are these thing not under our control? We are the ones that purchased the homes that need to be paid for, we are the ones that created the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed. We are the ones who have decided that this is the life we have chosen and then we must bear the toil of taking care.

Look what one of our masters have said — Be like the birds of the air and the animals in the field and the fish in the sea — they care not what the morrow brings for the Father of all things will take care of them and they know it.

Trust is the ultimate act of faith — trust in your fellow man and in the Almighty. If we act as if there is no need to worry — there isn’t. If we trust our fellow man/woman that they are in the right place in the right time — they are.

Be well my friends,
