wrappep up

do we get too wrapped up in looking forward to the future; that we go through the motions of today but really do not live this moment in time? perhaps being so absorbed in the past that today is lost?

like looking for that perfect love. you’ll never find it. you’ll spend your energy looking for an illusion. that perfect soul that you could not find in yourself, looking to find it in another?

looking for something better than what you could not correct with another in days gone by. was it the other that caused you discontentment and grief? when you were so discontented with yourself, could have that bred to the other?

when the other did not live up to your expectations, was it really your own expectations that were not met? you looked outward and funnelled your own disappointments and despair to the other.if you cannot live with yourself first, then how can another live with you?

if you cannot love yourself first, then how can you possibly love another? if you cannot see yourself who you are, then how can you clearly see others who are around you? if you cannot find peace within yourself, then how can others find peace around you?

if you try to find happiness through another, you will never find happiness yourself. when you can live alone, and truly enjoy your own company, only then can you live with another. when you find the calmness within, will that not radiant to others around you?

and that is where the joy, passions and the love will exploit themselves and spill on to the lives of others around you.just as when you have become so busy with looking for something better to come along. always off in some distant future. have you ever thought, just maybe what you are looking for is standing right there in front of you.

blinded by today. do you see what you have missed or are missing? you have missed a part of you, you yourself. you are missing today, this moment in time.
