My Biggest Lesson of 2017: Selective Focus.

This is the last day of the year.

But really, what changes now?

Do I see this day as any other?

— Something is different, maybe we are off.

Analyzing the world with the heart perspective shows me that there is a way to make all the improvements that we need.

If we step further into the process of emptying ourselves, the internal energy can be freed from all the resistance that is within.

The current perspective of the world is focused on satisfying the mind needs, but a heart satisfaction is completely different.

We have to learn how to distinguish between those two.

My current idea is that today is like any other day, and time is only an man-maid invention, socially adopted as a measure of reality. Time is division of the days, and the only real thing there is is the now.

We use our clocks to measure how far into the day the now is. Months and years count not our elapsed time, but rather, our position in the solar-system.

Time and matter are deeply correlated. If we learn how to change our view and use our time better, than we claim our empowerment to also control the place we live, our bodies, our physical aspects. Which is our space.

Being today the last day of the year makes me think about doing a retrospective of 2017, clearing all the blockages that are still within, opening myself for 2018.

This is a retrospective that I cannot do in one single moment.
I’ve been doing it already.

All the changes in 2017 taught me that transformation is a constant, and the movement is the only reality, for everything we see is moving in a quantum level.

I learned about myself this year more than anything. The more I connect with the heart-space the more I realize that there is still place for development.

The current perspective of growth is on an exponential graphic. I am thrilled to continue the process of personal improvement focused on the self.

Some might think that focusing on the self while developing is selfish, In my opinion, this is the best option I have to help others.

I’m writing this text for Wardina.

This is not a motivational text.

What is this then?

Well, this is an exposition of my feelings, an open letter to myself and to others connecting with me. The focused energy that I’m applying here is one with many facets. By applying the work that needs to be done I become empty inside, and this builds freedom.

The more I meditate on internal issues the more I realize that only joy sustains a positive development. I suspect that living a life where joy is the steer wheel can be a pleasant thing to seek.

Today I noticed that whenever I feel down, less than good, I can stop and say: “Nothing is more important than that I feel good — I want to find a reason now to feel good”.

I can find balance and improvements on the awareness of both ‘system 1 quick thinking’ and ‘system 2 deep analyzing’ if I choose to observe instead of reacting to my emotions.

I’m in improvement mode.

If there is resistance, this takes a toll on me.
It takes my body out of alignment, and the joy goes away.

Thanks For Reading ❤
