"Death is certain, the time of death is uncertain, then the question becomes, what really matters most in your life?"
-Buddhist Nun Pema Chodron
When one can finally come to truly understand Pema's statement, the reality of being present in the things that matter the most to us comes into sharp focus. That understanding can, and most probably will, change your outlook on what is really important.
Working long hours at a job that makes you miserable or leaves you feeling unfulfilled, tolerating toxic people and situations, as well as a myriad of other frustrating and painful elements I doubt figure into the mix of what you believe your life should be. Were we born to live unhappy? I think not.
What really does matter in your life? Happiness? Balance? Love? Your creativity? Maybe it's time to decide and start living the life you were meant to live.
Your life is passing before your eyes. Be present in the things that bring joy into your world, and the world as a whole. Your true happiness in this life depends on it.
