Dear SC,
For a while, I was pondering over the same thing – “Is this it?” sort of questions, part of me was wanting more even though I know that happiness springs from accepting and embracing reality just as it is. So, it’s an ongoing journey – someday we are more in tune, other days, we are not. And that is another acceptance it itself – that it’s ok that we feel that way. What I’ve been realizing in the last few days has to do with being more accepting of the way things are. Our mind somehow is always wanting something more. What I’ve been doing is just be aware of it and keep practicing acceptance. I’ve been able to accept more and more each day. My thinking is along the line – if there is something more that the universe wants me to experience, it will happen. I notice that when I just keep things simple, e.g. eating healthy, keeping my body strong with yoga, practice stillness with meditation, be kind and understanding to people around me, hang out and listen to friends, focus on work while I am work, go out to where the people are when I feel like connecting, … that’s I am a lot happier and I feel a lot heavier when I ponder too much on the meaning of life and existence. Namaste.
