Awareness

I've just had the most amazing weekend! I may have written in my previous post about my 'breakthrough'. I may have thought I've learnt enough and was very much aware of what I have or wanted. Oh, little did I know how far away I really was from that. Who was I fooling? One can never stop learning. It's an ongoing process.

This time around, the experience, or rather, my experience was magical, I'd say. I've met another whole new bunch of great people who come from different walks of life. So different yet so similar we all are. How tough or perfect one might appear to be on the outside yet how fragile and vulnerable one can turn out to be, in reality. We're all the same,afterall. Mind you, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to own up to that and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.

Yes, I learn once again about being present and aware. One may like to think that after one round of such experience, he or she may find his or her surroundings become positive and beautiful. Sadly, that is not the case.

My biggest awareness this time around is that being aware and present - when the hard truth hits you, it hits you hard in your face like a runaway train coming towards you. And that's not the best feeling, to be honest.

The next step - the biggest question is "Have you got the courage to act upon the truth?"
