I admit it. I finally confess. Went to the therapist and got my long-awaited analysis.
I am a life addict…
What is a life addict you may ask?
A person who is highly sensitive, observant and responsive to the worlds vibrations.
In simple terms, a person who is aware of the bigger picture, all that life has to offer. The good the bad and the grey bit in between.
The older I get the more aware I become of how corrupt
the world we live in is. Right now I find myself at a standstill. Looking out at a crossroads with no idea of what direction to take.
Feeling like you have a purpose and having no idea as to what it could be is such a frustrating concept.
I know many people of all ages at some point in their lives have been at the stage that I feel I am at now….So I decided to write this post.
So I recently read this book called “The Power Of Now” by Eckhart Tolle (which I highly recommend everyone read at least once in a lifetime.) It really put life into perspective for me and shed light on the world we actually live in.. beyond the rose-coloured glasses.
Suddenly the world seemed so much brighter and things that were once so difficult to comprehend became exceedingly clear and simple.
We only have one life. There is no me, my or mine. Just US.
We live together in one cosmic explosion.
Colour, life, sound, taste, touch, BEAUTY surrounds us and connects our souls to one significant purpose.. to love! To thrive! To live.
So why is there such a division in our society in this day and age? Honestly have a think about it. Does it make any sense that there is so much hatred, so much anger and separation. It made me take a deep look and reflect on what kind of energy I bring into the world.
I felt slightly ashamed when I realized that I can be extremely selfish at times. I thought about the contributions I have made in my life. If I have ever helped a cause and how often I take the time to give back. I wasn’t happy with the outcome. The reality like it is for most, is that we live in an extremely ignorant and selfish generation. Ignorance is bliss as they say, but to ignore anyone or anything in need is completely inhumane. It goes against all that we are. If we no longer posses the characteristics of human what are we ? Monsters? It should be our duty as intelligent beings to become mindful of our current situation and to take responsibility over our actions, intended or not.
SO!
Bearing this in mind let me get to my point. I discovered the concept that living in England will most likely not help me understand the struggle that a large majority of the world are going through. We all know what is going on but as it is happening behind closed doors we think that it is not our problem. We couldn’t be more wrong. I think the time has come for us to take a different approach to life. When ‘he’ is hurting, we are all in pain. When ‘she’ has no food, we are all hungry. Littering, pollution, animal cruelty and human rights are just a few examples of how humanity has become sadistic and its time we all become aware of the importance of awareness.
Travel
I may not specifically know when, where or how, but I have decided that an essential part of being aware is to explore and get a personalized experience of all that the world has to offer. I want to meet new people, see different cultures and put myself outside my comfort zone.
Give
The joys of life come from such simple things like laughter and happiness. The more positive energy you give out to the world the more you receive back. If you ever come across someone I need, help them. If you can’t do that much just do as much as you can and you’ll be surprised at how grateful people are. Walking away from someone in essence is like walking away from yourself. The more you resist life the more life will resist you. It’s as easy as that. Spread the good vibes and contribute as much positive energy to the world because when you do you become a much happier person.
Listen
It’s such a simple thing to do but listening can have such a huge impact in one’s life. The more you consciously listen the more you learn and the more you grow. You can improve someone’s day by just taking the time out and simply asking how they are. So why not try it out for yourself? We have nothing to lose but everything to gain.
I am not perfect, as there is no such thing. I may not know it all and I may make mistakes along the way but what I do know is..
I encourage anyone in the same situation as me to take a deep think of what life is really about. Not just for the individual but for the collective majority, hopefully one day we will all be life addicts.
Start your journey
Stay tuned!
