Today.
This simple word has all the answers.
Others have relied on another word to emphasize urgency or awareness - NOW.
But I see the superiority of Today in most cases.
For the moment is too minuscule and easy to get "motivated" by.
But it either gets ignored, forgotten, or does not even register.
For the stake is immediately not obvious.
For there is something sacredly resetting about the start of the day.
For if things are not done or undone starting at the break of Today,
it will be the case tomorrow as well.
You will be forced to live, not just tomorrow,
but ALL of the tomorrows,
(thus the rest of your life)
in the exact same way.
Who, what or where you are Today
is where you will be for the rest of your life.
If you are okay with where you are Today,
you will remain okay for the rest of your life.
If you are "not okay" with where you are,
you will be stuck being "not okay" for the rest of your life.
If all your successes and accomplishments are not enough Today,
they will never be enough.
If catering to your ego or to others' is not recognized Today
it will not be SEEN for what it is tomorrow.
If you are in pain mourning for or reminiscing a loved one Today
you will be lost stuck in that illusion for the rest of your life.
If you fight urges or deal with attachments and suppress them Today
you will fight and suppress them for the rest of your life.
If you rely on religion, customs, beliefs, rules and other lies
to keep your demons bottled up,
or as a guide or a manual to perform the most basic task of staying alive,
you will need to adhere to them for the rest of your life.
If you are not fulfilled in your relationships Today,
you will never be fulfilled.
Hopping between partners will only exacerbate what you deal with.
It will only introduce more layers and keep you from understanding
what is true Today.
Likewise, if you are dealing with conflicts at business or work,
they will bother you for the rest of your career.
Switching jobs or changing businesses will help not a bit.
See, friend.
It is simple. Very.
If you are not Free Today.
You will not be Free for the rest of your life.
If you are trying "to be Free" Today
you will spend the rest of your life in that illusionary chase.
Truth is the one and ONLY catalyst for change.
Only Truth has the capacity to take one from
being okay or being "not okay"
to
NOT OKAY.
Until that point is reached,
the needful will not be done in your life.
Do you understand?
Stop chasing "Truth" for its own sake.
Stop reading, liking, tweeting, or re-tweeting.
Stop finding escapes from your escapes from your escapes.
You have all the "Truth" you need in this post.
And the (real) Truth staring you in the face - Today.
Get Real Today,
Or die having never Lived.
Thank you.
