Because each and everyone of us has an expiration date, the tendency, consciously or not, is to rush from moment to moment. We rush on to the next thing feeling constantly that time is short. We seek to fulfil our minds addiction to constant stimulation; to satisfy what we think and believe about life. What if we’re wrong? What if there is a different way to think about life? What if our awareness to innate drivings was heightened?
Once we learn to live in the present, to fully immerse ourselves in what’s happening right now, with no thoughts of what’s next, we remove ourselves from the timer
We must all learn to slow down, because in our haste, we’re rushing through life never fully experiencing what’s right before our eyes. We’re blindly rushing through every moment. In our forgetfulness (the opposite of mindfulness) we’re following instincts that require very little consciousness. It’s only when we stop, and immerse ourselves in the moment, that we begin to see what life really is. Our purpose can move beyond what instinct dictates.
