It's beautiful how our thoughts are validated with synchronicities if we pay attention. I was thinking about the trade-off between feeling alive vs living life sedated only the previous day. I even sent that message to a friend. The next day, I was surprised to see this update on Jesse Elder's page.
What does feeling alive mean to you?
To me, it's about living our purpose.
What's essential to living our purpose is seeking the answers to the following questions:-
Am I feeding off the Universe? Am I allowing it to use my energy to support its expansion?
Am I happy? Do I understand that our joy has over-arching benefits?
There are far more comfortable ways to live life. It's easier to live with a distracted mindset. We can be melancholic and then go through the motions of what's expected of us. We can detach, ignore short term memories, and be in a constant state of bliss. We can also let the bias of the world guide our decisions and thoughts. Be a slave to the constraints of the world. Then, run amok between the past and the future with no regard for what's happening 'Now'. All of this severely hampers our potential to tap into our creative energies and the greatness of the Universe.
It's possible to appreciate joy while being grounded. Being grounded is not always comfortable because that necessitates enjoying the human experience with all its different shades. It requires making peace with the past because as long as there are concealed wounds, we cannot truly change. And, change we must to embrace our full power. Being grounded brings in the balance after forcing us to make peace with our past. It makes us centered. If we want to be useful, being centered is crucial. And, being useful is joyful! The kind of joy that resonates with the greatness of the Universe.
