SIMPLICITY AND WISDOM IN LIVING

Humanity, we are doomed! Sometimes, I wish animals could take our position and place while we take their position so we can learn just basic principles to approach life, as we can learn a lot from them. Lets overlook the Animalistic behavioral pattern of their kingdom but rather examine their mindset when approaching life. After all, humans have made this planet hellish and brutal that has affected the animal kingdom. There were principles set in place before Adam. Have you ever come across those people that just seem to have luck in their favor in their everyday lives!!! No matter what, things seem to always come together for them and the weird part is that they are so chilled, almost nonchalant in their approach to life. One may judge them as lazy, un-seriousness about life, not ambitious, e.t.c as oppose to everyday, blood, sweat and tears, giving life your all, pushing, working to the point of burnout, trying with all your might to make your dreams a reality and yet there’s a blockage, roadblock or something seems to always get in the way? Even the ancient Chinese understood this principle.

WHY? Why isn’t it going your way? Why is it so easy for some and yet so difficult for you, despite all your best efforts! After few encouragements from your parents and peers, you pause, take a break and then continue pushing until something clicks isn’t it? When life hit you, you fall, get back up and keep going isn’t it? Finally, you take life by its horn as you finally made it huh! Oops, it’s not it. I’m stuck in a dark place. My soul is in jeopardy. Save me! Somebody save me. 3 years passes, no luck, no progress, nothing.

Makes no sense right? Hmmmm well, not quite!

Let me let you in on a little secret, and I can truly vouch for this one because I’ve been there. All hope is lost. Nope, the formula was given to me.

For starters, in the rulebook that governs our culture and our society, action is always deemed “better and effective” than inaction, which is the norm lol. Being super busy and stressed and over worked is valued (madness isn’t it or cool *wink*?) I’ll let the readers pick. Our social constructs equate Inaction to laziness and sluggishness, indifference or worthlessness. Inaction is “what couch potatoes do”. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND PUSH FOR YOUR SUCCESS.

Go-getters, on the other hand, they conquer the world right? They achieve greatness, they win big, and they get it all and doing big things. Well, CONGRATULATIONS YOU CONQUEROR.
And so a simple formula is born to solve your world problems:

For centuries, spiritual leaders have been telling us to LET GO. Not to cling to nothing and struggle and strive, but to “let stuff happen”, ”let go”, “let life flow”, and ”be open”. Even the messiah and ancient philosophers understood this principle.

In this world of empowered actions, we are taught that anytime anything happens that we don’t like, we HAVE to DO SOMETHING about it. Never mind what that something is, we’re just supposed to stand up and act in order to take control. You must be a good driver huh (or at least appear to be taking the reigns). Perhaps this stems from our inherent need to control, to lead, to dominate, nothing must be left unknown; all must be controlled and conquered. Conquering the world huh. What a conqueror! How do you feel now messiah in the making? Here’s where our modern way of thinking spins backward.

Now lets challenge these modern gods, the founders of LIFE ACTS. What if life really is about going with the flow? What if we’re meant to leave our own will, desperation, struggle and control behind? What if we’re only supposed to take inspired action? Action that feels natural and soul fulfilling?

In my very own life, I’ve seen this at work many times. The moment I stop TRYING so hard to make something happen, or have or be something, the very goal I am working towards tends to flow right into my experience. In other words, things work themselves out much better on their own, and in their own time, than they do when I try to push or force them to. This is the perfect beauty of nature unfolding in our very lives. This is organic, medical and therapeutic. It’s a very weird phenomenon (perhaps only weird because our norms make it to be so), but it really does happen this way. This is perfect approach to life as it was designed to work for those that align their lives with such wisdom. Empty your mind and have no desire, ambition of your own. Anxiousness is the head start to the tail. Sometimes it is in surrendering, that we find the outcome we most desire.

What’s tough though is not getting caught up in the struggle (Life, Family, financial, social). A recommendation for such is to fix the fragile mind of ours. Sometimes it just happens upon us it’s our autopilot response to all situations so inevitably we end up straight back in the struggle. The secret is catching ourselves in it, and reminding ourselves to release our steadfast grip on the situation, and instead allow things to flow. Just allow things to flow. This is the approach of the messiah because he understood that things align itself with time and mindful efforts. He never forced the elements to succumb to him but rather he understood this elements works in their own time. They visit you in its nature and perfectly carried out. What a cute and perfect couple! They sure understood and respect each other.

Now I am not saying here that we just sit back and do nothing at all; it is more about working towards natural flow and action, not forced action. You can actually feel when your “doing” is forced. This usually comes with anxiety, stress, confusion, panic and turmoil. When your actions are in natural response to the flow of that which is happening around you, you feel calm, comfortable and at ease. This is what we need to work towards and hopefully the world gets it. I personally haven’t mastered this in its perfection, but it’s a work in progress. I am able to recognize when I am forcing action versus when my actions flow naturally but I’ll say first, empty your minds and metaphorically become a newborn baby that knows nothing. No visions, no goals, just understand your being and that’s your journey of life. Ironically, trying to force mastering this process is also not going to get you where you want to be but rather where the society and parents wants you to be, so again, let it flow naturally, be open to finding that state of flow, don’t force or push it. When you do, you are a servant to it. They own you. you don’t own them. Just be open to it and it will flow in naturally. And this too applies to any change you want to make, be it career, your weight, getting fitter, being happier, what ever it is, be open to the change and then let it happen naturally. No force, because force only causes resistance.

In my heart, I know that letting go is the answer to everything. When we flow with the current instead of fighting against it, miracles happen. Life works out the way it’s supposed to which is the only approach that’s how every other creature on earth operates if you carefully examine them and they get by, more than ok! We are the only species who tries to control everything in our path, and as a result of that, look at what we have turned the earth to. You must love the paradise called the earth isn’t it? We need to learn that the universe doesn’t work that way. The universe is way bigger than us, so instead of trying to control it, lets acknowledge that we cant subdue it to cater to our emotions, ambitions, wishes e.t.c, and instead flow in synchronicity with it!

The key, I believe, is to surrender. Instead of attempting to orchestrate everything around us, remember, we were only created with the elements of the bottomless. Who are we to subdue the ornaments and the force of nature? Entrenched yourself in the unexpected. We can let things happen, instead of trying to make things happen. Butterflies and flower buds and babies in the womb don’t FIGHT to grow into what they are, they simply unfold. Perhaps the rest of our lives are meant to unfold in exactly the same fashion.

So eliminate struggle, forced wills, and surrender. Allow life to flow and with such approach, this is when WOW happens.
