The single most important decision I've made in my life, and will continue to make, is to simply fall in Love with it.. exactly as it is. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful, and we always have the option to choose happiness, right here and now.
It's not always an easy decision, as our minds constantly bombard us with so many reasons to feel discontent. But the option is ultimately.. always available...
Even when the pain and struggle overwhelms and numbs us, the choice lovingly and patiently awaits our decision - to Love our lives and ourselves - through acceptance.
I know a thing or two.. or have lost count.. about suffering. I've found that the greatest cause is the desire for different circumstances.
How much of our time and energy is spent working towards the future, creating a different life or a better version of ourselves?
And how much are we sacrificing the JOY and peace of mind available to us in the present moment, by focusing so much attention on what's ahead, or what may never come?
This isn't to say we don't have goals, ambitions, and make improvements in our lives, but to say we shouldn't become imprisoned by these desires, and shouldn't make our happiness dependent on their outcomes.
By falling in Love with our lives exactly where it is, and exactly how it is, we can relax and en*joy* the ride - even the dips - while we move towards our next destination 🎢
Nothing in life is guaranteed, other than this very moment you're experiencing, and if we're present, fully aware, and most importantly... fully allowing... we get to choose HOW we experience it.
We can choose to become consumed by the struggle, pain, and discontent, or we can choose to embrace what we've been given. This is the 3rd Eye Perspective.
For this capture, I chose to fall in Love with this incredible display of geological beauty. Piles of tiny pebbles, with a seemingly infinite diversity, found at the base of the ocean cliffs in Dana Point, California.
