The Clarity of the Moment

in #life8 years ago (edited)


I woke up today thinking about how our relationship with money changes with time.  It makes sense that the older you get, the more you are worth. Only your time here is limited, so what you do with it and how much you spend on it, matters.

The hardest question for many people, in any age group, is to answer 

"What do I want?"  

Over time, and via education, we've become accustomed to fitting in our "wants" to other peoples, and institutions, needs.  For many, who work 40-60 or more hours per week, downtime is just a time to unwind and recover from the other hours spent, not time to create.

So instead of creating, we/they condition themselves to see a tomorrow just like the today they have experienced.

It takes a real internal effort to open the heart and really see the vision that is there.  

"What do I want?"  "How do I want to live?"

This is a question the brain cannot answer, because the brain cannot conceive of a different tomorrow.

Only the heart can see what is meaningful to you.

Even beginning to answer this will take some doing. You have to feel - feel everything, look with new eyes, create the space for a new vision of possibility to emerge. 

You will change.

A milestone! My first .01 cent!

I hope that's a good thing!

ps I'm curious, how do you know this? And of course I realized after posting it that a few editorial commas would have improved it. :)

Thank you!! Glad you liked my post.
