We get one stab at life. Just one …

Don’t sell yourself short because someone said you get a chance to come back as a cockroach or a frog … This is the only life you have, this is the only life you can work within, this is the one chance and the one opportunity to make the most of every experience. If you fall down, if you weep, if you struggle, if you are exhausted, if you’re in pain, if you are aching to the marrow of your soul … remember that the tides turn and the sun shines another day … and all will be well. In the end, we go back to peace. In the meantime, we have to work our way towards peace in the moment … and the simplest route, the one that takes the least energy (even if it makes the most enemies), is the one that is you being AUTHENTIC.

At the end of our lives, when all the parties are over and all the glitz has grown tarnished, all we have is our selves and our souls and, if we are lucky, a few loved ones around to see us on our way. What we invest into that end moment now, is what will make the difference to that end moment when it comes. We can each make a difference to our lives, by making a difference to someone else’s. We can each do something right now that will take us out of our misery and into our bliss … all it takes is a decision to reach out and do something, anything, for someone or something else.

Our social media, our mainstream media and the major part of our influential film world, teach us to be self-centred, self-obsessed, self-conscious, self-loathing, selfie selfie selfish. We are surrounded by judgement, criticism, critique, violence, porn (look carefully) and morons parading their stupidity … how is any of that helping us to live our own best lives?

One stab at life … and one stab can end it … there are many ways to experience a stab.

So, this moment, whatever it holds, matters … and it matters greatly. Why? Because this moment will determine the next one … and the one after that … and on and on and on.

If you don’t like how you’re behaving, step off the conveyor belt of conformity to whatever norm you’re trying to fit into. If you don’t like waking up with a sore head, make a decision to clean up your act, and start doing so NOW. If you are absorbing everyone’s toxins, build some filters and fill your own life with light.

The only thing we should be selfish about is surrounding our minds with love and light and hope and peace and health and everything that will sustain us in our dying moment … it will come. None of us can escape the end of our life on earth … no matter what. We started as seed (with life breathed into it), and we return as compost material or ash … back to the earth our bodies will go, and up to the ether our souls. Going up, or going down? The time to determine that, is now.

Live. Life. Now.
Help. Someone Else. Up.
Love.

Love is all that matters … if you wish to go up, and beyond the stars.

Remember: we get one stab at life. Just one. Life is NOW.
It might not wait.
