Livin’ a conscious life

I just finished reading a book that has moved me and i know has changed my life forever. It’s a book called on Morrie, about 100 pages with very straightforward message. I think of Morrie as my dear friend - he’s explaining to his former student the true meaning of life and best believe none of it included a new iPh.one or latest fashion from DK.NY… the meaning of life was found in the most basic things that ALL humans, be it the richest man in the world or the poorest man in a remote village in a developing country all have - LOVE, COMPASSION. That to him was what being fully human was all about, be able to not think about mistakes you made in the past but just focusing on how to improve yourself NOW, this moment, because “life is the moment we’re living now” - he advises his student who is very wealthy and living his ‘ideal’ life, with a perfect convertible, real estate, beautiful wife, great job… but Morrie tells him he’d never find happiness in that… he’d only find happiness in giving back to the community and being at peace within! Ahhhh, i loved it, i felt like the book came into my life at the right time, i read alot of spiritua.l and personal devpmt books, but none of them have had such clarity… i think i also opened up to it more because it was a true story and the way the book was written… simple format and basic everyday language. Also because it was a dialogue… one i can picture myself having this conversation - it all went in right to perfect spot in me… and i will forever remember the impact this book had on me… i am positive i will read it over and over again over the years and have sent all my close friends a copy and will follow up with them to make sure that they read it. I want it to have a similar impact in their lives.

I am now applying the lessons i learnt from morrie in my daily life, i find myself very open to people now, more tolerant and want to make sure i live by a new quote i wrote that was inspired by Morrie: “True is not just loving those that are easy to love, but loving those that are hard to love” - thats the trouble i’ve always had - i only like people that are easy to love, which make me question where i fall, i would most likely say 70% that i am hard to love at the moment, and that will not change until i become more loving to those that aren’t easy to love i.e. by pushing a bit harder and further and making an extra effort to get through to people and show them some love. I think somewhere in there lies the answer to so many of my questions and complications i face in life. I need to start loving those that are hard to love and that will make me easy to love… I want to be able to say and genuinely mean it that i love ALL of humankind, not just the random love, but true and compassion towards all human kind i.e. even the ‘outcasts’ of society, those who killed in genocides, pedophi.les etc… i wanna open my heart to loving all people thats my new task! LOVE.
