Life’s a Miracle

When I look at the beauty of the planet and all life that exists here, I cannot see it any other way. Life is a miracle!

Of course, as is the case with everything else, it is all in what we each make of life. As Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Which way do you choose to live it?

Choose to Fly

“Why prefer to crawl?” from Rumi’s quote below reminds me of the crabs in a bucket
mentality. In short, this behavior is observed in crabs when they are trapped together in a bucket. They will pull any one who tries to climb out of the bucket back down into it, ensuring that no one succeeds.

Observing people’s behavior lately on social media, I would say there is quite a lot of crab mentality being displayed. It’s very sad to see; we really should be pulling together. Humanity has many problems to work through right now, and it seems we are intent on attacking each other more than cooperating to succeed.

When are we all going to decide to soar and thrive, together? We are so much better than this.

Different Drummer

Looking at the state of the world today, I do believe we are in desperate need of more nonconformists, people who refuse to see or do it the same old way. As Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them”.

So dance your dance to the drum you hear, and let people call you “weird” if they may. How else is the world ever going to change? We must not let the judgement of others hold our souls hostage.

Change the World

Life actually gets easier when we realize that it is not something that “happens to us”. The world and our experiences are a reflection and response to our internal landscape.

Free Mind

We owe it to ourselves to expose our minds to many points of view. Reading widely and diversely is a good starting point. In a time where everything is increasingly politicized, mass media narrative can easily become a form of advertising for political agenda. A free mind yearns to see beyond the consensual narrative and reality.
