Seeing a dance without a dancer
Living deeply, this moment. Living deeply, you taste the preciousness of life. You see a dance without a dancer. This is often called mindful living.
Early morning. You woke up. Everything just woke up as well. You opened the door, cool air subtly touched your face; you took one step, two step… you looked at the surrounding: dews are still on the leaves after a sprinkling rain last night; trees, birds, a new world just arose.Your consciousness emerged in the space. Transient. You have tasted life for the first time, with your whole being.
This kind of living well supports your success. When you live deeply, you see more, you have more insights into everything. You now want to create, to share with others. You see the wonders of life. You have great aspiration to pursue your goal, to taste a peak life experience. You have grit and perseverance from the energy of love generated by the work you do. You feel happy and satisfied even when you are physically exhausted. You have full of energy to do enormous work. You don’t force yourself harshly. You know that your success is there. It’s already in the state of mind you are in. This is where creativity and happiness come from, so do your wealth and success. Mental running with all wants and neediness stops. You are living in the here and now, the field of infinite possibilities. You suddenly see the opportunities you have been searching for a long time. They are there, right in front of you…
On the contrary, if your action comes from a desperate ambition, you will experience all kinds of psychological complexity and frustration. Distraction seems endless. You find yourself exhausted most of the time, both mentally and physically. You thus can’t enjoy your work. And the result is just a reflection of the quality of your work. When there is no enjoyment of working, the real quality is rarely there, so is success… You now see why you had been so frustrated while life is such precious…
You find that your only ambition now is to live deeply each moment, to experience the totality in this tiny moment.
