Every morning is a new chance: Will you try to start over?
This breath is new.
This moment is new.
You have no idea what is happening right now, and no moment needs your analogy.
This moment is new.
This breath is new.
You can start over at any time!
You can always start over. Whatever the situation or circumstances may seem, you can start again in the presence of the rising sun every morning.
Everything can fall apart, be destroyed. Don't try to fix it, don't try to paste it, let it fall. Open a room in your heart, mourn the fallen and mourn. Celebrate his death with grace and dignity. May it be as firm as two feet on the ground. Don't be like. Take care of everything that comes out of you… Take care of your grief, your mess… Just take care of it! You don't have to stand up straight, but you can make room for being as messy as possible without hiding, by seeing every open feeling, by sitting next to each other, with compassion.
Life is hidden in sometimes letting the room be messy. Instead of constantly trying to fix and collect, sometimes allowing ourselves to be messy actually makes us human.
Yes, life is not easy for some of us. While the road is surrounded by hard stones for some of us, it may be surrounded by green nature for some of us. Both are different expressions coming from Him, but the feeling is not the same while living. We can feel as if the stones are coming from somewhere else. But without exception, all roads converge in the ocean, although it may not seem so. Because in the end, all currents meet Him, sometimes passing through stones, sometimes through green grass, to merge with their source. The intention of the whole road is to return to Him...
Living is a bit like building a sand castle by the sea. Sometimes the waves will destroy what they have done, that's what the sea does! But can you continue to build a sand castle by the sea with love? Can you start over without blaming the sea?
Every morning the sun will rise again to remind you of that. Some days you will feel broken, you won't even be able to stand up, but the sun will always rise, no matter how tired you feel, every morning life will begin again.
Whatever happened or didn't happen yesterday, can you start again, now, without carrying it today?
Every morning life whispers to us: Can you start over?
The last few years have not been easy for any of us, and thanks to all, life has been tearing down whatever we have done with care. The more we tried to fix it, the more we got used to the scene of the movie, where we fell apart, that we forgot that we had another possibility. However, the most dangerous feeling is to take it for granted. To take pain, unhappiness, despair for granted. Because when a person gets used to it, he starts to forget that there is a way out.
NEW EVERY MOMENT!
Even though you have been practicing yoga for years, you are always doing it for the first time! When I gave up my "I need to do this after this pose" attitude in my own personal yoga practice, this situation was reflected in my life. And I realized that life has more possibilities than the options I marked as “This is how it will be” or “It should be”. Because every time I say “I know”, I am actually doing nothing but limiting life.
That's why if you're always on the same route from home to work, you might want to do things differently this morning. Maybe you don't want to drink the same coffee today. Every time you say “I like it like this”, remind yourself and ask yourself: How?
This moment is new.
This breath is new.
You don't need a Monday to start things.
Every moment is new.
