Minding Your Mind

The idea here is to not disregard all other facets of your life. This is something you may want to seriously consider when you commit to the pursuit of a goal…, and it may be more important than anything else. 

 You will still be living your entire Life as you go on about pursuing your goals, and to do so mindful of “Being” in the present…, when leaving anything out…, is impossible. The present reality of your life…, and mine for that matter…, is that it is always whole…, in the Now.

To me…, a solid relationship is based on a foundation of respect. It is where upon Love is built…, not the other way around…. To say you love someone…, but at the same time be abusive toward them…, is not at all OK. Abuse is not an expression of Love…, much less its engendering. …There is nothing positive about it. 

 Love…, remember…, is an act that incites positive feelings we identify as Love itself. Saying “I love you” is nice…, but not as nice as “Being” …, and behaving as if you “Do.” It is more about “Show” than it is about “Tell.” 

 I hear it all the time…, I love you…, and not necessarily in a romantic sense. People often throw that phrase around…, just because. But we now know that love is an action word and not a simple verbal expression.

 Of course…, it sounds nice to say it …, and it is nice to hear it. But what’s the old saying again? Oh yeah… Actions speak louder than words. 

Remember to behave toward each other…, treating the word love…, as a verb. Also remember…, it does not always have to o be in a romantic sense. You could love anyone else…, a relative, or a friend…, or even a stranger. 

We all have…, and continue to accumulate things…, and of course…, some things have more sentimental value and meaning than others. But those things are in our lives because we put them there…, some having been acquired because of great sacrifice. 

Still…, they are things…, just things. Without us they have no meaning…, no value.

I will do it tomorrow. What? Love? What is the act of love you say you want to put off for tomorrow? Of course…, of course…, I realize that somethings can’t happen before its time. But some things can happen all the time. Remember the little things? 

To me, the feeling of Love is the beautiful consequence of a positive act you want…, or need…, and accept. 

The offer does not need a specific time or occasion. However, sometimes it could be too late. There is a point when we want or need to feel loved after which the act loses its meaning and effect. We all have…, at one time or another, had this experience…, and it was not good…, right? 

Sometimes…, a broken heart cannot be mended. 

You know…, before now…, I never thought of the word love as a verb. I just thought of it as a feeling..., the word feeling, as a noun. But I have a curious and questioning mind…. So…, I asked myself…, what made me feel what I called Love? Where does the feeling come from? 

It is normal to be oblivious to this reality. It requires mindfulness and awareness…, somethings easily missed because of the speed of living and the many and constant distractions we are faced with every day. 

On the other hand, and this may be true for you, it may simply be that you did not realize it until now…, until it was brought to your attention.

When it comes to life and living…, we must be mindful that life is a 180-degree experience. In other words, life is a straight line…, not a circle. This is to say…, there is never a precise repetition of any Time or anything…. simply because we are always…, always, for the first time, living in this moment…, this Now…, this moment that is always new…, this Now that is always never the same….
