In my dreams I wish I could fly to Seattle for a weekend, and just clear my mind of everything and then come back. But I can’t do that, nor do I have the money to do that. Most of my dreams are so far out that I need to sit down, relax and see what is going on around me. I always seem to do the opposite when this happens, so instead I finally stepped up to the plate, and did what I knew I needed to do. I relaxed, and watched something I had seen on TV before but never openly watched until now… Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. I went in with an open mind and a learning soul. I came out a new person with a new perspective on life.

Deepak Chopra was the speaker at this particular one that I watched, and he basically changed my perspective on how I see, think and feel. "You are a spiritual being having a human experience.” Let that sink in, and really sink in deep. We are a spiritual being having a human experience. He also said, "Our body is an activity happening to us." We are a spiritual being with a human experience and we are not in our body, our body is in us. My mind was officially blown with all of this coming at me, and I was beginning to understand. But what made it even more mind blowing, was when he said this, "The whole universe is in you."

Drop the mic, Deepak Chopra, drop the mic. We need to be fully aware of the presence instead of being caught up in the future or the past. We need to seek the moments that we are given right then and there. We have so much to offer, and we’re just doing minimal. We’re just doing enough to get by, and live every day to the end, not the fullest. When we learn to connect with nature, the world, the universe, our mind and soul, it begins a beautiful journey.

This week has been a week, to say the least. I know that I will probably have more weeks like that, but I know now where to go. I know I have a better understanding of the bad days and that the good out weighs the bad. This life isn’t meant to just exist, we’re suppose to jump off the edge and seek adventure. I’m ready to do that, are you?
