Everything that happens is a lesson that life brings to us. What we do with each lesson, in each moment in each day determines how fully we embrace who we really are.
Every one of us is born with stupendous potential, an infinite intelligence of mind, body and spirit that we may, if we choose, inhabit during our short time on earth.
So when faced with each moment, with each gift of lesson from life in each moment, we have a fundamental choice. Do we act from a script or do we improv?
You see, life is often seen as something to prepare for, something to script in advance. Are you prepared, have you made plans for the future, have you considered all your options and made good decisions? These are the kinds of questions we think we should be asking ourselves as we live our lives.
But these are the wrong questions to ask. These questions approach life in a static way. They ask us to prepare a script and follow it as if life were a set piece.
Life is a series of lessons, opportunities to expand and embrace our real selves. Most of us tap into and express but a small fraction of who we really are. These scripts that we grow up with, taught us by our well-meaning but misguided parents, teachers and society, hinder us rather than help us.
Instead, as life provides each moment to us, as each lesson from life small or big comes our way, we can choose to discard old scripts and follow our pulse. Then we really live every moment of our lives in a fresh and new way. We have no preconceived ideas of what we must or must not do, no preconceived ideas of judgement of what others see as the good or bad that may befall us, and in that state of non-judgement we dance through life always following our pulse from moment to moment.
Life is not a set piece. Life is improv!
May the pulse be with you!
