Embracing Existence: Finding Joy in Simplicity

That’s it, just sit with me for a moment. I want you to sit with me and listen. Be attentive to my words

I want you to imagine a mindset where you are happy and contented with only your basic needs met. This contentment has been brought about as a result of your full appreciation of the wonder of the very fact that you exist. From moment to moment you’re able to fully grasp the absolutely, extraordinary nature, of existence.

It’s a little like dispensing with everything we’re told we must accomplish and experience during the course of our lives. It’s a little like imagining we’ve already done everything we’re conditioned to believe we must. It’s as if we’re happy and contented from the moment we are born.

As we think about it now, isn’t a new born child, once it’s needs are met, happy and contented? Is it not the case, that a child is happy and contented, with only the wonder of it all?

As we begin to allow our minds to become acutely aware of our existence, we can begin to become child like, once again. Before we were born, only the elements, that would later take the form of our human selves, existed. We were then conceived and spent approximately nine months growing in the comfort of our mothers womb. Now born we exist in the form of a human being. In time we will cease to exist in our present form, and the elements that made us, will return to the earth once again. How would life be if we were able to find happiness and contentment in the wonder of this. The fantastic wonder of our existence.

You are breathing. You are existent. What more do you want?
