Sharing this note to self circulating on WhatsApp that rings so true. I was prompted by google photos about this day last year and saw a dear friend in it who passed away earlier this year and it reminded me of the uncertainty of how much time we have left to do what we choose to do with it.
As the lyrics of a famous Beatles song goes – “there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friends…” , there is only this moment at your disposal, live it as joyfully as you can, sharing that joy with others around you, there’s really nothing better.
Look at what you are chasing or what is bothering you and simply let it go to be in this moment in peace. As a famous zen saying goes – a man was running as he crossed the Buddha and Buddha asked him “Why are you running?” and that was the man’s moment of enlightenment, the man stopped and returned home…
Remember after the game is over, the king and the pawn return to the same box…
