Life is not about how much we accomplish. Life is not about how much we have in the bank account. Life is not about how successful we can be. Life is not about keeping up with the Jones'. Life is not about finishing the to do list because there is always more that comes along to do. So why are we choosing to create stress for ourselves and run the rat race?
Life is for us to enjoy. When we shift our awareness and see that the purpose of life is purposelessness then all of a sudden everything we have, say and do becomes meaningful. The smallest task becomes a joy, a pleasure, and our being becomes light and radiant. Try for yourself. Have a friend over for no reason. Serve them for no reason. Enjoy what they have to share and offer for no reason. Find out who they really are. So often our relationships have turned into contracts. We only meet with people because we have a contract with them. We are in relationships in order to get something. Our relationships now have become like business deals. If you give me the comfort and support that I need only then you can be my friend. But the minute you are not there to fulfill that part of the contract as a supporter to my life then I shall move on to the next person who can satisfy my need. But if we drop the purpose we can then start to see the beauty and uniqueness in everything and everyone.
Stop running after goals. See your friends for who they are. Slow down and enjoy the process as it continually unfolds. There is no purpose but meaning. The artists paints for no reason at all. Share, enjoy and create your very own work of art. Start living and stop running.
