Be That Man

 

I want to be that man who is very relentless in his life

The one who won't give up even when the odds doesn't seem right.

I want to be that man who walks a different path 

A path no man has taken before,  a path no one dares to walk

I want to be that man manly like the man who gave him his life

The one who isn't afraid of what life throws at him 

And enjoys each moment specially the challenging times

I want be that man who never shies away from a fight 

But picks them wisely as he knows his strength and he's tamed his demons quiet

I want to be that man that looks at his challenges with a smile

Even when his enemies outnumber him, he's a whole other animal if provoked so they better hide

I want to be that man who's gentle and kind

And yet flirts with danger as he is also a monster in his mind

I want to be that man who's calm headed and wise 

The one who creates wonders and leads his clan to greater heights

I want to be that man that turns the wheel of destiny 

The one that achieves the impossible in-spite of all the misery

I want to be that man that stands against unjust minds

A man not just with a voice but also of action when its the time

I want to be that man that takes it one day at a time

Living life to the fullest even when life seems boring or a struggle to survive

I want to be that man who lives no fake life or a lie

The one who is bare as his soul just like the Gods intended unique creative and passionately alive

I want to be that man who's given the hardest tests

The one that's given those challenges that prophecies speak off in old tales and legends

I want to be that man who stands for something in his life

The one that brings the change that everyone was waiting for a long time

I want to be that man who's full of honor

The one who lives by a code and his word, humble and grounded

I want to be that man who is all do or die

The one that will go the distance where others won't even try 

I want to be that man who isn't afraid to stand alone

Even when the masses won't call him their own 

I want to be the man who's tried all and went the whole extend

Even if he meets failure at the very end. 

I want to be that guy who never gives up

Always hungry and ambitious chasing dreams bigger than all the universes put as one

I want to be that man who'll move mountains

The one that works wisely conquering his limitations

I want to be that man building his own empire

An empire for the generations that comes after he expires

I want to be that man who made his life worth living

Enjoying his time on Earth as long as he lives in it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Timeless River

 

Time flies, it flows like a river, and you are flowing in it never backwards but always forward no matter what the tide is and the current is. Time this mysterious river that ages us all and takes us away from the physical world after a finite amount, I wonder who decides how long we get to travel in its waters but one thing is fixed. We cannot travel forever and the journey will end one day. We start this journey with so much energy and as the body get's older the energy fades. Right from the beginning of time when human kind lived in the wilderness in small tribes. Humans spend their time to survive, in the beginning it was all about survival. All they did was hunt, so they could eat, find shelter so they could be safe and wore animal skin. We don't just live in the river of our own time, our river exists in different rivers which directly affects your individual river. For example, the Earth too has its river of time, and the earth has evolved drastically over time. It has been home to dinosaurs, and depending at what age of the world you belonged to, your river of time would have been directly influenced by the earth's river of time. We don't have the dinosaurs anymore that was at a different time in the earth's journey and in its current time and the influence it has in our lives, we humans have travelled a long way but yet we work for the basic things the early man did. Food, shelter and clothing, we go to work so we can have all that we require for our basic survival. But that's not it right, though basically it is the only things we need somewhere in the river of earth's time humans evolved to amazing breath taking extends. 

It's not just enough for us to survive we need to thrive, we need more than food, shelter or clothes, we need luxury, we need more in terms of everything, bigger houses, more money, recognition, status, success I could go on and on. Somehow it is not enough for man to have enough, cause enough seems to be never enough. Somehow without being in that league of having more you are going to fall back in the line of society's hierarchy. In other words if you need to get your ass kissed or seem relevant you need to have more. But yet we evolve, we evolve and we don't even notice it. Maybe the earth too has an ultimate purpose to play in the universe. But do we really even want to know what is the earth's purpose when we struggle to understand our own. Meantime we are stuck in the survival process that has got so complicated since the early man we have completely fallen out of sync with the planet. We have fallen into an illusion of a possession driven life and somehow accumulating possessions is the modern man's ultimate goal. We have just become hoarders, we have reduced ourselves to collecting worldly possessions and it has become so normal it will be madness if you thought anyway else. I guess there is nothing wrong in having or wanting to have and experience wealth and having all the possessions one could think off. But then concluding that all this is what defines you or life is the part I'm talking about. 

Not having any messiah assigned to save us and the teaching of the old and ancient times fading, are we losing the grip of reality? Are we lost in the greed for power, money, and success. Have we made sacrifices for the wrong reasons or have these reasons become the new standard for survival that we forget to be humane. The truth is we are all so deeply affected we don't stop to think and instead feed all our energy to running the rat race hoping one day we find fulfilment like once when we were children and in turn we feed these survival skills to the younger generation thinking without it they would be doomed but in actuality we are dooming them by just teaching them to survive in a way we are tying to escape from. The truth is we don't need anything to thrive, we don't need to stress ourselves to the point of madness to find happiness. We just need to understand that the things we are truly looking for are free and there is no price required to be paid. What we all truly want is to dance through life, not matter if it is a thunderstorm or sunshine we are experiencing in our physical reality. What we want is to celebrate life and to live life each moment being completely present and aware of each breath you take and being content by the fact you have truly and joyous lived that moment. What we want is not plan and wait for the experience to come but live that experience each day until it comes true. What we truly want is to be surprised by life each day and lead fulfilled lives in spite of all the things that seem to go wrong or not your way. 

What if you could be the person that takes you to a place within yourself which you thought that never existed. A place that can give you a new level of clarity, focus and drive to be who you truly were meant to be. Being alive is just being aware of your breath, cause that is the only way you know you are alive. Think about it maybe you'd wake up worrying, or wake up desiring so many things, but, not even worry or desire can exist if your not alive. And to be full of life and live each moment to its fullest you cannot be worried all the time nor be a prisoner of your desires, you need to understand the gift of life first to be truly alive, the fact that you're just breathing must mean something to you. And the day it means everything, that day you would begin to realise what it means to be full of life. A profound moment where you are set free from the cycles and man made madness and routines. A point where you see life not from the living or survival point of view fed into your head since birth, but rather from the a point to just live and be you. An effortless sense of being you, clear in the head and focused, full of love in the heart and surplus of energies all driving you to be whatever you wish to be with no regard to possessing anything but rather just experiencing, contributing and supporting to sustain that life in and around you. An abundant being that doesn't need to hoard or hold on to things cause you're always evolving to better versions of you that is already abundantly rich in every way you can fathom.

It is in that realisation that truly sets you free from everything even yourself that seems to be chained to so many things binding you. Be quiet, silence yourself so you hear that inner voice. True growth happens in silence and it does not seek an audience. True growth isn't looking for approval but liberation, liberation from the noise to a peace and quiet where the world is under your grasp and happiness a choice rather than a pursuit. It's in the quiet moments transformation happens where you have the ability to transcend to a new version  of you that seemed impossible to achieve. For this you got to stop running and stand still and from the stillness of your being you will begin to live and enjoy your life in every breath you take living an effortless life riding the waves cruising through the river of time effortlessly. Somehow making your experience here like you were on a timeless river. Because in your stillness time flows through you and in the mad man's world you run behind it. 

Groundhog Day

 

Its Groundhog day everyday, If you don't remember, Groundhog day was a movie released in 1993 starring Bill Murray. In the movie due to mysterious circumstances Bill Murray is put in a time loop to experience the same day over and over again. Its a comedy so if you have nothing to do this weekend please watch it, it's one of my favorites. In the movie Bill Murray who portrays the character of  Phil Connors a cold hearted man completely out of sync with existence  is taken on a life changing journey by making him relive the same day over and over again. I kind of feel the same way, like life has got to a point it feels like I'm reliving the same day over and over again. An endless loop until death, wake up brush, eat get to work, get back home, exercise and then go to sleep. We are stuck in loops of time doing the exact same thing but unlike Phil Conners we age. And unlike the movie we have several loops overlapping each other. When a baby is born, it doesn't even know what it is, the baby is always observing and absorbing this simulation or reality we call life. The best part is it takes a while for the baby to understand that he or she too is human and then not just a human but a male or female human and so forth slowing starting to decode this simulation, this mysterious outer environment it sees through his baby eyes often confused but fixated to the curiosity he builds to discover and understand everything in his environment. 

What is the meaning of all this? Why are we here? All of us, alone, on this planet with no sign of life out there in the universe. Even the animal and plant kingdoms, the flora and fauna follow time cycles, some migrate when season changes, some hibernate, the plants bear fruit seasonally. A strange pattern embedded in all life form which we follow like an instinct within us not knowing why we are doing this and what if there is another way. Year in and year out its the same cycle, a repeating time loop and we follow through them with the same set of actions. Are we meant to learn something like Phil Conners or are we here just to exist as we are. Maybe we aren't seeing past this illusion, it's almost like we are hypnotized to follow this pattern of living like a zombie aging and withering away slowly in time. What would happen, I wonder if we break these cycles? Will the illusion be lifted? What will we experience then? Will a new simulation come to existence? I sometimes feel this is all a test, it must be right? As I lay my head on my pillow everyday at night I wonder if this will all make sense before my death. Because I'm just doing the same thing over and over again, maybe I would have earned a few promotions or succeeded in life as I planned or maybe the contrary. What ever it is I still need to lay my head on that same pillow every night wakeup the next day and do the same things I did yesterday until its the last night I'll ever exist on this planet. 

I wonder what that would be like? Will I know if it's my last night or will I go to bed thinking "I'll wake up" another day. And what if I do wake up the next day but never have the opportunity to lay my head again on my pillow the following night. I wonder what that experience would be like, I wonder if I would know if I was going to die, what will I do that day? And if I didn't know, how will I react when death comes knocking at my door? Will I be alone when it happens? Will it pain? Will all the time I had as this person in a body with a name having lived a life, that felt like, I lived the same day over and over until my death, make any sense to me. Will it? In spite of all the success I would have amassed and the recognitions I have won, do you think it will matter when I die or will it give me a sense of satisfaction and pride that I have lived my life well. If you could take back all the time lost how do you think you will relive it all again. What does this all mean, is it part of a bigger plan that we don't see or is it all just what it is. Maybe it's so obvious and the truth is sitting under our noses. What if the truth was so simple and freeing but something the ego cannot bear, maybe that's the reason we clinch on to our belief's so we feel important in a world that brutally judges, a world that is waiting to dissect you and expose you're guts so their individual ego's feel safe and superior. 

Children are the best example to how to live this life, all they want to do is play. They can't wait for the next day to come, even if its the same things they will do as the previous day, for them in their little minds, life feels like a new experience each day and they want to experience a little more each day with an undying enthusiasm with no care of the world as they are lost in their imagination experiencing life in a linear fashion. Since they enjoy each moment of the experience time itself behaves like it's happening in a linear direction being completely unaware of its cyclic nature. This is the secret of life to live like children and experience life as one giant game and play it with such enthusiasm your mundane loop of a cyclic existence disappears. If you don't see life as something beautiful or an awe inspiring event that is happening, you will wither and age fast and you become a bitter person just doing what is meant to be done to just exist. And what a huge difference of an experience does the above 2 scenarios make with only a shift in ones attitude. I also strongly believe that there is a reason you are here experiencing this life, all this does mean something, it will hit you hard one day and then suddenly you will realize the meaning of all this madness that sometimes feels pointless. Everything is a perspective, if you think this existence as a dreadful one then that is what you'll experience, if you see it as a beautiful one then in  the beauty you will marvel.
