What We Got Here

Boom! Thursday the 12th of December 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be what we got here right and what we do have here really to be honest is the present moment something that I'm guessing I'm beginning to learn as time goes on is just effectively like

0:00

something that cannot be replaced by anything that we perceive valuable in this earth or on this universe really to be honest with you. Like I've gone through a bit of a downward and an upward slope but during

my kind of like motion towards the downward slope I effectively started to realise that like you know there's so much value and so much emphasis placed on the things that I guess have been built through over time as ideas of like you know things that can effectively give us long lasting happiness, consistent happiness, consistent contentment and such. Only for me to realize that the amount of effort that we have to go through, and let me just try and basically simplify things rather than speak so cryptically. Things like big houses, living in the most prestigious of countries

and most prestigious of roads, amongst the most prestigious of people, driving in the most prestigious of vehicles, everything just, you know, prestigious to the T. All of these ideas, working towards them, and thinking that such things are kind of like going to give us, you know, give me anyway happiness or long-lasting happiness. Where I can just really click my fingers and just find myself in the present moment is a little bit, you know, it's a bit, I guess, like it almost makes me thorough my brow if it makes

any sense. More so because like you know the amount of sacrifice that has to you know that one has to go through to obtain that certain level of like I guess you know success which also by the way includes the ability or flexibility to kind of like wrestle with one's finances like you know to be you know the effort that one has to go through and the sacrifices that one has to go through when really and truthfully I could just turn to the

present moment, be not only extremely grateful for the fact that I am alive but also be aware of the fact that I am an incredibly, you know I'm saying, you know, unique human being having a very unique human experience and find comfort and joy in the fact that, you know, I'm alive, right? Like, but anyway, like I guess maybe that's a conversation for another day.
