This above all: to thine own self be true.
I spend a lot of time talking, planning, thinking about things I would like to do, what i would like to be. I feel a pull towards certain things. But I don;t get off my behind to get up to do or be. WHY? I feel this person inside, but I'm not living as her right now. I am not being true to myself and who I KNOW I am. Why are days off allowed to be consumed with bad TV and mundane errands. Yes, life has to be lived and accordingly there are things that need to happen. I must go to work, the kids must be attended to, cleaning and keeping the house in order must happen. But isn't it also a must to take care of me? And to nourish my soul. I talk about it a lot, I think about it incessantly. Why aren't I doing it? I feel like I'm living a false Mia life. My insides (my soul and it's purpose) are not being lived or expressed outwardly, and more and more that just seems WRONG.
This may be a big, well, DUH moment to anyone who might be reading this but I needed to say it. I need to live Mia. I need to let Mia live.
I need to read, to write, to meditate, to go to yoga, to start learning more about photography, to attend a satsang. I need to walk, to hike, to play, to breathe fresh air and have fun. I need to sit in the sun. I need to appreciate this moment.
I need to do. I need to be. I will do. I will be.
Here's to you Mia. Learning to let yourself LIVE.
