Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.
~Eckhart Tolle
I have observed in myself many times that I wanted to run away from life. Even my writings can be a way to escape that painful present moment. I often observe that I tried to write down what bothered me to get rid of my pain. Often it works. However, I have to admit that I have a low pain tolerance and the uneasiness of some life moments can get overwhelming sometimes.
This pain often results from my resistance to the present moments and I want to get rid of it as soon as possible. I have observed that in my past I have often used this strategy to escape life’s plan. However, I could never really run away from them because they always come back in a later stage until I am willing to face them, give them a space, and also try to understand them.What makes pain even more unbearable is always when I want them to be away as soon as possible.
The magical thing is always whenever you don’t care what happens and just let the life unfolds, suddenly, everything becomes easy and playful!
Enjoy!
