Being Different

There is nothing wrong with being different in life. It is common place in life to find people who don't exactly "fit in" or can't relate to others in the way of being part of the mind made creation of "society". There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling like this, this doesn't make you weird or bad, this just means you're different, and were meant to shine brighter than what is expected of more of the individuals who follow the crowd.

From a young age myself I knew that I wasn't like everybody else, I found it hard to relate to most people and the way that they saw the world, the views of death and "an eye for an eye" were confusing for me, I struggled to understand many people's motives behind evil deeds and why they would to decide to hate, murder and deceive. If you feel inside yourself that you struggle to fit in amongst society this is nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, you can view this as the hidden cosmic message that your life is meant for so much more than you though, you just have to realize this, and believe in yourself more than you ever have before. Don't let people whoever they may be to tell you differently, or tell you that you can't achieve your dreams, and if you do decide to listen to them, don't see them as a stumbling block, see them as your teacher. Therefore everything in life can be a lesson, and you can continue to learn every single day something new and exciting. If you have a dream in life, the only person who can stop you from achieving that dream is yourself!

Being different is a blessing, not a curse.

Nothingness

This present moment asks nothing from you. It never has, the present moment is yours alone and yours to choose what you do with it. To listen to the mind's play is what leads many down the road of disripute and inner resistance in their lives, an example of this could be for example if you have recently split with a partner who you loved and believed that you were going to be with them for the rest of your life, this belief can somewhat take you away from what is real and ever-changing. You cannot stop the flow of life and whether you may feel a certain way another may have a completely different view to you. Accept it. In fact, respect how this person feels as you cannot truely tell them how to feel, to give them the space to be themselves is the only true way to really accept and love someone.

So why not rest as nothingness? Resting as nothingness means that you are allowing everything to flow in and out of you, you aren't holding on to anything which you feel as this would be to stop the flow of life by focusing on such a tiny aspect of it. Why do this? As hard as it may feel sometimes, just let go. I can promise you the moment you let go of your "story" even though it might not all come at once, the weight of identity and duality will be relieved. You will no longer need to believe everything which your mind tells you, only what you want to believe can be let through, you are always in charge of your own happiness, never forget that.

Just Rest. Let it Go!
