Two Steps Back...
There are very many moments in our life that make us think...well what is it really that we seek. We tell...no..ask ourselves...."Why did I do this?", "Why did I say that?" or "Why did I not do this?" and "Why did I not say that?" And then this leads to all the "I wish I had..." statements in the world.
The thing is..no matter how much of a Socrates we think we are.. (and we truly are...metaphorically speaking...clouded by the chaos of make-believe)...we always end up making the same old 'perceived' mistake over and over and over again. I may be making one myself right now. Who knows?
The key is to take two steps back...and put efforts in not wanting to pass a judgement there and then. Or in fact, resist the passing of a judgement or a conclusion of our act or that of others altogether. Mind you, taking two steps back is not allowed for over-analysis, over-empathy, any kind of sympathy, sadism on self or others or any such emotions or states of being that are akin to these.
The magic will be in believing in the choices we make and sticking to them no matter what. Just like we want our loved ones to stick to us no matter what we do. Well, if we cannot do it with the thoughts we have and the choices we make...then how in the world can we expect our loved ones...even spouses/parents/siblings...to stick to us.
So ladies and gentlemen...the next time you are trying to see yourself closely in the mirror as you brush your teeth in the morning...grumbling in your mind about this thing going wrong, or that person wronging you, or even you being a part of the wrong...the next times these thoughts occur to you...analyzing all the chaos you possibly can...Take Two Steps Back.
Take Two Steps Back...and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Take a look at your face...I am more sure than not, that you will want to straighten out what you see in that reflection. Try to smile at whatever you see in there...and you will instantly come closer to who you really are...and mind you dont judge.
Think of the time you were the little one of the house...loitering about the house with a big grin and agile feet. Falling a lot, laughing more, rejoicing more, clapping more, loving more, embracing more....living it up so much more than....
Take Two Steps Back and fill up that blank for yourself...and see yourself wanting to go in reverse gear. Now here is another thing...reverse gears are only in cars not in our life when the time is ticking!!! So how about this...since you cannot go back...how about simply turning around and change the place you are looking at and going towards...and just keep walking the same way.
The way the MORE in the love, laughter, rejoice, embrace kept coming down gradually...when you turn around and walk that path it is going to seep and peep into your life and grow gradually! And the thing you will discover is that there are no rules and limits to when you can experience that abundance.
So if you take those two steps back from the mirror the next time you are brushing your teeth, and reflect on your reflection, the dawn of life will dawn on you like the never setting sun of yoohooooo!!!!
So Step Back...and Step in....Life awaits!!!
