I see myself surrounded by people living a life of chaos and rigidity. That includes me. I find myself in the chaos of catching up with time, managing my energy in the various role I play as a mother, aunt, wife, sister, daughter, counselor, citizen etc. And sometimes I feel stuck when I have rigid beliefs of what I "should" and "must" do.
There are also times when I let go and flow with life. That is when I find myself at peace and happy.
We fall prey to chaos when we are focused on the future and are gripped by the insecurity of losing our possessions. In our journey of life we have a backpack and we have stuffed too many things. We find it difficult to say "no". We have taken umlimited roles, numerous task without realising that we have a limited mile to travel within our given time. Thoughts such as "Oh , I have lots of things to do but so little time" is a common thought that puts us in chaos. We trudge our way through, sometimes hoping the journey could end soon.
We hit against the wall of rigidity by building our own blocks of beliefs of what we should do based on our past experienes with people and situations. We have made our backpacks heavy by taking others expectations, others opinion. Its more like we have taken thier share of stuff and in the meantime made our backpacks heavy. "I have to please them to be accepted by them" is a common belief of rigidity. We block the progress of our own journey, hitting against the wall everytime we try to go ahead.
However, we are moving with the flow of life by living in the present. Here my backpack has nothing because I give what I get. I value this moment I have because soon it will be gone. This moment is a gift so I will make the best of it by thinking positive. Doing something good because what I do casts a shadow that will follow me. "So I might as well do something good rather than bad". I will accept the challenges beliving that I face them because they have something good for me eventually. " Everything happens, happens for good". I flow ahead with love, trust, faith and kindness. And as I flow, I hope to make this path smooth for my beloved others to follow.
