Permission To Simply Be

The elation we feel when we have learned an

important lesson, achieved a goal, or had a

big breakthrough can sometimes be met

with a period of downtime afterward. During

this period of transition, we may feel unsure

and not know where to turn next.

Many people, during the pause between

achievements, begin to wonder what their

life is about. These feelings are common

and strike everyone from time to time.

Human beings are active creatures-we feel

best when we are working on a project or

vigorously pursuing a goal. But there is

nothing inherently wrong with spending a

day, a week, or even a month simply

existing and not having a plan.

Just Be


It won't be long before you embark upon

your next voyage of growth and discovery.

The quiet lull into we which we fall between

ideas, projects, and goals can make life

seem empty. After accomplishing one

objective, you may want to move

immediately on to the next. However,

when your next step is unclear, you may

feel frustrated, disconnected, or even a

mild depression. You may even perceive

your lack of forward momentum as an

indicator of imminent stagnation. To calm

these distressing thoughts, try to accept

that if your intent is personal growth, you

will continue to grow as an individual

whether striving for a specific objective

or not. Spending time immersed in life's

rigors and pleasures can be a cathartic

experience that gives you the time you

need to think about what you have recently

gone through and leisurely contemplate

what you wish to do next.

You may also

find that in simply being and going

through the motions of everyday life,

you reconnect with your priorities

in a very organic, unforced way.

The mindful transitional pause can take many

forms. For some, it can be a period of

reflection that helps them understand how

their life has unfolded. For others, it can be a

period of adjustment, where new values

based on recent changes are integrated into

daily life. Just because you're not headed

swiftly to a final destination doesn't mean

you should assume that you have lost

your drive. The stage between journeys can

become a wonderful period of relaxation

that prepares you for the path

that will soon be revealed to you.

“It’s an interesting thing. Seeing Kuan Yin relating to a flower so intently. She's not just looking at it; she's interacting with it…I’m seeing how the act of relating to a flower appears to be so simple. Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a “simple” act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.”

"All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman
