Missing Life

So many people are lost chasing life that the true essence of each moment is missed. And if you’re missing the moment because you're chasing it, you will miss your life…

To experience peace, what you’re chasing has to be realized so the chasing can stop. So much life is spent chasing the next fix that most of it is missed. It's always about what's here right now in this moment, but because of the conditioning in place that's the last place where one spends their time. Life itself has nothing to do with the past or future, it's the conditioning in place that needs them to fill in the space created by not being able to live in the present. The real chase of life is learning to be okay in the present, but why the chase remains in place is because one is conditioned to use tools that keeps you from living in the present. It shouldn't be difficult to be present because it's the only true place of existence, but the diabolical conditioned mind wants you to be in every other place except the present.

I was trapped chasing for forty nine years. Although on the surface it seemed I had everything I wanted, the conditioning that made me need to chase was always in place; the chase never stopped. This is why I often say programs, another book, a different job, spouse, car, home, social status, yada, yada, yada, don't stop the chase, because of the conditioning in place as soon as something is grabbed, something else is used to chase after. Positive or negative don't matter in any of this, all that matters is the chase. If you are chasing to be the little engine who could, it's no different than being the little engine who couldn't. So many people are lost chasing life that the true essence of each moment is missed and if you miss the moment because you're chasing it, you will miss your life…
