A touch of whimsy

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

It seems so trivial, but it’s so important: Those moments of simple levity. A treasure.

A little more whimsy. A little more “Just Because.” Why? No reason. Just because.

Slow down

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Prio 1: Enjoy existence.

*

When you grab a snack or get another cup of coffee: do a breathing exercise as well.

Take a moment to recalibrate.

You are here. It is now.

*

We are collectively hurtling through space while circling a star.

We arrive with ourselves, we leave with ourselves.

Everything else is details.

Why are you dreaming of labor?

Daily writing prompt
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

Who dreams of labor but those who cannot escape it?
Why allow your mind to be chained?

Pursue a dream. A real dream, a preposterous thing.
The kind that makes the dull scream: Impossible!

Unshackle your soul from the humdrum.
Think beyond the past.
Dream true dreams.

Live.

#Monday

multiversal

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

Which one, though?

There are infinities upon infinities to choose from. With every choice, a new alternate splits apart, and a new universe is born.

Each choice an alternate, each alternate a choice. And in them, this life is the alternate one. The better one. Maybe the worse. Who knows?

So, better make the best of it now, one choice at a time.
