I think back on my life and how many moments there have been when I thought, “THIS will change everything”, “From this moment on, things will never be the same.”
I always wanted that radical shift, a dramatic break from the past–knowing that I would not be the same person with the same issues. I wanted rebirth, immediate transformation, something undeniable; a place from which I would never go back to being small or suffering.
Instead, what I have found out is that is not my path. There are millions of stories out there about someone whose life is changed in an instant (and I have even been trained in crafting such stories). And yet my journey has been to be to learn to accept and inhabit a life where things change almost imperceptibly over time–and to love myself as I am in each one of those moments.
It becomes clearer every year that in EACH MOMENT there is the opportunity for everything to be different–not because it is different out there, but because I am different in here. Because I am willing to be with myself and allow life to be what it is and people to be who they are. If I have learned anything, it is this:
There is no “Moment of Truth”;
The truth is, every moment is that moment.
Namaste,
