Presence –
That intangible but real, felt sense of when you are perfectly in your centre. Balanced, in harmony. Flowing.
I used to chase those moments: kayaking, snowboarding, or even just telling stories around the fire or doing dishes.
They were times when I was fully present, alive, complete –
With nothing to prove, nothing to hide, and therefore unbounded and unhindered and so very able.
The doubts and distractions that often plagued me vanished, and life came alive with a richness and an immediacy and a joy that was, unfortunately, uncommon.
I wanted more!
But I didn’t know how to get back. I didn’t know how to flip the switch.
I wasn’t the only one.
Here is the real secret that few people truly know:
You already are what you are looking for.
You are the source of all those alive moments.
Life from this inherent Presence is rich and complete, all the time.
Our habit though?
Is that we think too much, losing our centre and aliveness in a bundle of past and future thinking.
We forget. We mistakenly prioritise the outer world before the foundation of our life – our inner state.
Yet, as Buddha once taught:
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
Eckhart Tolle put it beautifully: “If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”
This path is not about zoning out; it’s about zoning IN.
This is the place to look!
Thus do the reverse of the habit. Prioritise being present. Prioritise coming back to the core of your being.
Do that, because when you are anchored in Presence, your doubts and criticisms quieten, stress and struggle decreases.
You find yourself living more and more of those magic moments.
Meaning and contentment, play and curiosity, appreciation and connection come forward. Life comes alive.
You genuinely see the world differently from most people.
The world you live in has less to do with some agreed upon reality, but how you choose to see it; how little you resist and how much you flow.
You are the creator.
Remember that, keep that close. And prioritise the inner.
Give it a shot. No, a decent shot in time. Give it 30 days and come back to me.
Tell me what life is after you acted in alignment with the assumption that life could be way more than most people live it.
Go well!
Arjuna
