Lesson 33: When you are awake...

Life is amazing when you are truly awake. Everything should be vibrant and lively. If we aren’t living with this in mind, appreciating the wonder, then we are asleep in life. We create a numbness to the world we live in.

I am to imagine a cup to see how full it is and this determines how awake I am today.

I had difficulty with this one today because I am sleepy tired. I tried meditating on it and fell asleep. So I decided to take a nap to refresh and kind of feel worse for it. Every time I saw this cup, I felt like I was forcing it to appear in my meditation. I tried at least 3 times.

From what I could see, I’d pick up the cup and drink from it, but just a sip. When I look down, it was then that I would see how full the cup is. The cup is always full to the point of when you like make a cup of tea. So more than 75% but not full to the brim.

This makes sense to me because I am trying to live with more patience, tolerance and understanding. I live for experience. Everything can be wonderful if we truly want to experience and make our lives enriched. I try not to miss out on opportunities and it’s a very different turn to whom I used to be. I want to say I tried everything I wanted to at least once and never look back with regret. I think when I really can manage my goals, I would imagine that cup to be overflowing.
