Someday

How many somedays do you have going?

How many of them are nevers that you call somedays?

How many of them are you waiting for something for someday to happen?

My question is why not today?

Reasons are just stories that get in the way of possibility. The are stories that we tell ourselves that say, maybe one day...

Declare who you are being to the world as a possibility and it will be possible for as long as you are willing to keep it that way.

A friend wanted to go to Machu Pichu more than life it self. She had every someday you could think of... Money, relationship, companionship... god the list was endless. then one day she took on who she needed to be to get it done. In her case it was to be with out reasons. And to be freedom. and to be Grace. She opened herself up and had many breakdowns, but she never let the possibility die.

Along came opportunity. It was not Machu Pichu, but something that she would have never been open to if she had been stuck in somedays grip. Where is she now? She is in India, studying Yoga. She will be in new zealand, thailand, paris, london etc... She will be around this world this year all because she wanted to go to Machu Pichu and one day I am positive she will stand on the mountians surrounding Machu Pichu and a new possibility will open its doors, but it will not be someday!

The soul is a curious thing

It is amazing to me how easy it is to get wrapped up in the pain of desire. How we as humans desire so much and suffer because of it. We desire people, we desire recognition, money, love, companionship, etc... All of them lead us to suffer because none of them are what fill us, but they are what we focus on.

It seems that part of that desire is waiting. Waiting for an e-mail from a love, a call from opportunity, a letter from something we think we need.

I don't have an answer to letting go of these desires, except to say the sooner you become un attached to them the sooner you can focus on where and what you are. The sooner you can enjoy life just as it is and just as it is not.
