The thing that makes life taste, smell, shine is that breath of joy or pain that happens simultaneously because that is the duality that we live in. To realize that with awareness comes rewards, with rewards comes responsibility. What is Responsibility? Lets break up the word responsibility. First we have response which means to act, to respond to a particular moment or circumstance. Next we have ability, which refers back to your own ability to handle the moment. Basically is a simple question. How able are we to respond to the daily circumstances of our lives? Responsibility does not mean that one carries numerous burdens and task that must be accomplished by deadlines. It's a simple word that just describes an action that we face everyday when we deal with different circumstances, moments or situations. Freedom lies in the understanding of living with a purpose.
So many of us performed daily duties unconscious. We wake up and automatically start following our daily routine. Living with purpose requires us to be present in our daily activities. Bring joy and enthusiasm to your daily task, whether is getting the kids to school or finishing up our homework lets make a conscious effort to do these things with joy and acceptance. We all encounter daily obstacles, our perceptions of these obstacles is really what determines how we handle them. To live a life with purpose we must give as much love and attention to our everyday moments that make up our lives, not just to the moments that will come in a near future. Lets become rooted in this present momemt and look at all the blessings that soround us.
