Just be

My work was something of a club of over-achievers
I always wanted to be part of it so bad.
I was tolerated, even respected, but stayed outside of it.
The moment I decided to be part of it, I was!

Spirituality is exactly like that.
You search and strive, looking for the ‘Beyond’.
The moment you realize that God is here and now.
All searching and striving is gone forever.
(The Promotion, Christian Wiese)

I had a break-through experience a while back. I decided that I was finally ‘there’ and I was. It’s not the ‘be here now and be happy’ mantra. No, it was the realization that all we have to be is to be authentic and let life take us from there. Inner conflicts? I have them. Inconsistencies? Absolutely! Ego rants? You bet! What creates my inner peace is that I am transparent with myself and my loved ones about everything, and then let life take me on a transformation course just by being my authentic self. With an attitude like that, what is there to fear and what is there to regret? Every day you get up and have another Spirit filled day to look forward to. Just be!
