As I sat in meditation yesterday afternoon my thoughts wondered again upon well tread questions.
Questions that I think we've all asked ourselves at one time or another.
"What is the meaning of life?"
"What is my purpose in life. Or put another way; "Is there a reason or anyway to explain why I am here,"
"Does god exist?"
"How do I deal effectively with difficult times this life gives me"
"What is reality?"
Thinking these thoughts plus a multitude of other questions created many possible answers and ideas. But only one answered the most important question I seem to have these days.
Dealing effectively with so called tough times.
My answer to that is this.
Love. It will help you to enjoy the ride of every storm. If you embrace the hurt..then dealing with it becomes easy. Love ALL parts of oneself (even the flaws as others may call them) and finding a sort of haven during times of self loathing doubt and uncertainty. If dealing with a rude and normally repulsive person then soak up that rudeness and love it for its raw honesty. Because LoVe is the only way to cope. It makes that mountain everyone climbs an ant hill. Even Loving the HIV positive me allows me the right to put my health and needs first.
I shall love it all ..No matter what comes my way.
I see now that to be truly happy and to deal with those things I wished not to, I must embrace the bad in my life as well as the good!!
All the pleasure, favorite and good stuff.
Along with the hurt, sad and bad stuff!!!
I say today, the purposes of my life is to:
Love it All
and Make the Best of it!!!
