Morning Contemplation: Freedom From Regret

I’ve heard that it’s common for people to say on their deathbed, ‘if I could just have one more...’ Why is it that this is so common? Most of us rush through life looking to the future and then, when we arrive at that point beyond which there is no future, we find ourselves looking back instead.

The one moment in time that has the power to solve this endemic anxiety is the present moment: the only moment that is ever real.

This was really food for thought as I travelled to work this morning wondering why I am I doing this routine day after day? But my question now, is how can I step off the treadmill?

Dan hits the nail on the head with this one! Truly one of life‘s lessons that needs to be learned thank you Dan

beautifully written and spoken. Thanks for posting

Wow - I stumbled upon this spoken word meditation this Friday morning and my heart, mind and eyes have shifted to wide open. As soft tears trickled down my cheeks into my ears I have never felt so awake. Thanking you for the perspective shift so clearly made in an extremely short 10 minute contemplation. I am grateful as my feet land on the floor this morning and I start my day asking myself ‘what’ am I grateful for - with a shift in consciousness to ‘who’. Thank you for sharing 🙏
