How

 

Freedom to choose.  Privileged to live in a world with so much opportunity.  Unlimited options.  I could do this.  Or I could do that.  So many choices.  Overwhelmed.  So many possibilities.  What should I do?  No one can really tell us the answer, because there is no single answer.  But what if this isn’t really the most important question?  What if I started asking HOW instead of WHAT?  What if the HOW I do whatever I am doing is the most important question?  Being present.  Mindful.  Fully in this moment.  The only thing that is real.  Presence means that you truly understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.  And once you truly understand why, if it doesn’t align with your true self, you likely won’t want to do it.  Ambition dissolves.  You don’t long to be somewhere or someone different.  You simply long to be.  One with what is.  One with this moment.  Which is certainly not a bad thing.  In reality, it is everything, the only thing.  Should I go for a ride or not?  Ride or rest, both are essential.  The key is in doing each correctly.  Full immersion.  Full commitment.  Full attention.  Here and now.  A conscious meditation.  Stop wasting so much time trying to figure out WHAT you should be doing.  Simply be present doing whatever it is that you are doing right now.  That alone will provide the answer for WHAT.  It’s about finding your way in all directions.  It’s about doing the right things by doing things right.
