NOTE TO SELF: THE TOO-SIMPLE SECRET


Most of us miss the secret behind living a happy life because it is too simple to be noticed.

It is also hidden in a place that most of us would never think to look – inside ourselves.

The secret can be reduced to one word: being.

We call ourselves “human beings” but we are really human doings, constantly busy in mind and body.  Doing, doing, doing.

We fill our lives with noise.   We can’t hear the secret which is silent.

We think that reality is out there but it is really in here.

Enlightenment can happen in a flash.  But, usually, it doesn’t.  It comes in little pops, spread out over time.

There is nothing to be done.  You already are where you want to be.  All that you have to do is to realize that.  All you need to do is to let that seep in.  You just need to allow yourself to be.  Just now, as you are.


Get quiet, breathe. Let go.
