Hi Friends,
There is an expression loosely translated," If you are what you do, then if you don't your are not". I have always liked this quote, like most things I read, it is so concentrated with wisdom that it would takes literally days, perhaps even weeks to ferret out all this is saying.
What this means to me, is that we place way too much importance on things that at first glance seems so be be of great value, that hold great promise, but turn out to be only empty gestures that ring hollow. Why are we so taken in by the brilliance of worthless facades. As the say all hat and no cattle. All flash, no cash!
Why do we? The fact is we all go for the flashy, the brilliant stone, person or idea, not knowing if there is any substance behind what we see or think we see. It is so easy, it is right here and now right in front of us, makes perfectly good sense doesn't it? Well it does in the short term, but is has no legs, no staying power. It disintegrates at the first hint of resistance, it falls apart under the slightest scrutiny, it always does, that is the funny thing about veneer, there is no substance behind it, that is why you can never count on it, or people of such ilk.
You have to look beyond the flashy clothes, peer behind the mirror, pull back the veil to reveal the truth about your self and your life. What do you want, do you really know. I understand that you think you know what you want, but do you really in your heart of hearts, deep in your soul do you truly understand what it is that want?
No easy answers to be sure, so for now quiet your mind, close your eyes, darken the room and just sit and focus on your breathing. Breathe in and out, in and out, slower, slower, deeper and deeper. See the picture in your minds eye, focus on this image............ now just be.
Have a joyful day,
Robb
