Take a Shot in the Now☕

16 March 2018

I took this shot with my phone in 2016 out of the Glacier Express window, and since then, this lucky shot has become one of my favorite special moments.

At one of the peaks, I don’t remember where but the train made a very brief stop at this station, that faces a panoramic view of the Swiss Alps. In that moment of the fast setting sun, in the exact second, I looked out the window on that particular side I was sitting on, this hiker gentleman walked past and decided to make a stop right there in my frame and struck me this pose.

This is synchronicity.

This makes the peak experience, that exact moment, so random and special that it had me shed tears of joy (or maybe it was the wine…) — it was perfect. It was meant for me.

The essence of this is that we all can experience more of these special few, fleeting seconds by simply looking around, up and down, and noticing all the subtle details that make that moment what it is — and appreciate the cosmic orchestra the universe has arranged especially for us, and us alone.

There is magic in every moment, no matter where you are. Cultivate your awareness to be present in the moment, there, you’ll see.

Always.

Thank you for spending time with me today.

I've overcome the anxiety of having to save every space on the paper. Most of the time, I didn't need to– I'm just a hoarder.

I hoard things that nurture my insecurity of the, "I'm not enough" old days, and today I realized that the awareness fortress of the fact that I'm no longer back in that time, is cured and strong.

I don't need to stress over petty peeves like this. I have a choice now.

Even a small but significant discovery like this, counts.

✨Triumph.

Can you take a close look at why you act the way you act? And can you identify which parts of that you want to change? Is it fear? Is it rage? Is it grief or maybe loneliness?

Can you begin dealing with them now, and deal with them quickly? Carrying them around in life will make you mentally ill.

What is it in me that I don't like? Who the hell am I, really? And who did I think I was? Have I been living a version of me, but not really me? Am I that person I think I am? Am I actually living that life?

I think who I think I am, and who I really am, aren't the same person. I want to be that person I think I am.

Damn. I thought I was better than I actually am.

I will become the person I thought I was. I can make that happen. I think I have more control over how I want to experience this life than I think.

And I know I'm right.
