Message In A Bottle

If you were to leave
a ‘message in a bottle’
for the future,
what would you say?

That was the question in a survey I took part in. A concept like that squeezes my heart.
Many wrote wonderful messages that brought tears to my eyes. Happy tears. So today, I wish to gift you what I hope is one such moment.

Just for you.

Stop waiting for Friday.
For Summer.
For someone to fall in love with you.
For Life.
For Permission.

Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it.

Stop looking for yourself in others.
In things.
In outside validation.
In trends.
In drugs.

Everything you are is already within you. Trust!

Make the best of the moment you are in now, for this moment is the only one that matters.
Please make it so that WHEREVER you go, you ARE there. Fully present.

Believe that you are no mistake. Believe that you are the Miracle you’ve been waiting for.

Manifest goodness and let goodness be your guide.

Find your anchor and pivot. Trust on the ambiguity of tomorrow and know that if you are everything you can be in every moment, the ambiguity of the future will not be as scary as it sounds.

Now go on and live your best life. Today.

I celebrate you, and it would be fun to read what your message in a bottle
would say.

Thanks for reading.

My message in a bottle would be.. breathe in life… taste it.. go with the moment.. todo pasa.. todo deja de importar.. life goes on without those who we thought we couldn’t breathe without.. todo al fin encaja.. falls into place.. naturally.. give love.. it’s magic!! It’s this moment that counts.. every drop of it.. in the next instant this moment becomes the past.. exhaust the little moment, soon it dies.. and be it gash or gold , it will not come again in this identical disguise.. oh… and the secret to life.. there is NO secret!!!
