The Buddha learnt that the secret to living is to be what you take and to not be what you do not take. Being here means being attending to the time that you give right here, right now, today. There is independence in taking time as it gets to us- the good with the bad, the wonderful with the drama, passion with loss and time with death. When we accept it all, so we have the real opportunity to experience life, to respect our experiences and to mine the treasures that are there for those actions. When we give to the world of who we are, we make ourselves the opportunity to do what we will do.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
