When we get our Enlightenment, we will look back at our life and see that everything was perfect. Every detail including every mistake was divinely placed so that we would come to this Enlighenment. What is this Enlightenment? It is the fully Awakened state of human consciousness. In order to achieve this state we need to become aware of every detail of our life. The key to this achievement is not what we do or how we do it. The key to this achievement is in being mindful of everything we do. Being fully aware of what we are doing.
Each day determine to be awake and simply observe what you are doing. When you are walking, just be with the walking. Feel the movement of your body as it takes one step after another. If you are thinking, be aware of the process of thinking. How your thinking is changing your life. How your thinking is useful and constructive. See life as it is: it is perfect. What you need to be doing is what you are doing right now. What you are not doing is not important. What you wish for is not important. What others are doing is not important. Simply observe what YOU are doing.
Mindfulness was the most important teaching of the Buddha. The word “Buddha” comes from the Sanskrit root “buddhi” which means to be mindful, to be intellectually awake at all times.
Most of us go through life half awake. Our life gets caught up in routine so much that we fail to observe. We are sleep walking!
The purpose of living is just to be awake and observe what you are doing and what you are learning. There are no mistakes. Everything comes to you for a reason. When we are sleep walking, we never notice the details of our life. We are blind to the many messages and teachings that life is bringing to us every moment.
Open your eyes and just be alive. Do your best and put your whole heart into what you are doing. Not for the sake of accomplishment, but for the sake of experiencing your life to the fullest state of awareness. Do not go blindly into this life. For every mistake and every negative occurrence, there is a teaching.
One day soon in this life you are living today, your consciousness will awaken and you will see how important every event in your life was. Every detail brought you to Enlightenment and helped you to become more wise and more intelligent. Be mindful of everything you do. Put your whole heart into everything you do no matter how small, and you will one day soon wake up to your most infinite potential. This infinite potential is inside of you right now guiding your every step until you wake up.
Relax dear friends. No need to be serious. No need to change anything you are doing or others are doing to you. Wake up and learn from every experience no matter how small. Every event in your life adds up each day until the sum total reaches the infinite fully awakened state of human consciousness. Relax and enjoy the journey. Your goal is right in front of you. Keep going one step at a time fully mindful that tomorrow you will be fully awake and finally understand that life has been perfect all along the journey.
