Investigating What Is

Not investigating the way life is lived leaves it up to chance that it’s being lived in the most beneficial of ways. Our mind is our greatest asset, yet it’s also the greatest block to truly living life to the fullest.

It’s a lot easier to go with the flow of the conventional way of thinking than to go against the grain because anyone who doesn’t agree with the conventional way is considered strange. But I ask you, how much of this conventional way of thinking is actually yours? Before one develops the coping mechanisms that are now in place, how much investigation is truly put into seeing if these mechanisms are beneficial. Not many people invest money, get married, have children, by a house, take a job, or do anything before doing some investigation, but how much investigation do you give to your behavior? This is what truly needs to be investigated if you ever want to understand your life.

Life isn’t magical for some and not others, life is life, pure and simple and it will not be lived to the fullest without doing the things that allow this. We can either cooperate with life and make it more beneficial or we can be controlled by a mind that doesn’t want you to investigate why you do what you do. If you are content with being on an up and down emotional roller coaster so be it, but I haven’t met one single person who at some point in their life hasn’t reached outside themselves for contentment. This non contentment is an agitation of the mind that few truly understand, not because they can’t, but because this agitation is not given the time needed to investigate it and find real answers, not the make believe ones that you are probably living your life by right now.

Life is so practical when it’s understood. If you practice living in the moment that you’re in, you will live your life more and more in this place of truly existence. But if you’re not practicing this than you will live in the past or the future and you will never be present for your given life. The most important thing you can do is investigate this, don’t take my word on this, investigate it for yourself and see that although the body is always in the present moment, it’s where your mind is that determines your life, and you only have to be honest with yourself to see where that is.
