Dear Owen and Ellena,
I hope you will see the LOVE and JOY behind my writing.
Life is meant to be shared with LOVE and JOY. Your perspective depends on how you respond to your experiences. Life is what you make it.
You will travel through the valleys, up and over hills and mountains. You are responsible for your unique experience. At the same time you share a similar path with others. Your life is a one way experience.
You have been given a choice. The way you choose is entirely up to you. Life is a series of circles with no beginning or end. You can neither choose the time and circumstances into which you are born nor can you predict your death.
Life is to be lived in the present. If you believe it is not possible to change your past, then you can let go of your guilt and regrets. If you believe it is not possible to predict your next living moment, then cease your worry about the future. Fear is a destructive feeling. If you believe you can make a difference right here and now, focus on the present.
Thinking like this needs practise. It doesn’t come naturally. You are not born with an innate ability to think like this. It develops over time. Refined with constant rehearsals, smoothed and polished over as many years as you are given.
It is a life long skill you can put to good purpose for living in the here and now. This is not to say banish thoughts of the past or future. It is a gentle reminder to let them go.
