Today's Philosophies
I read a story a long time ago about a monk who was being chased to the edge of a cliff by a tiger. (I don't know if I'm remembering correctly but this is how I remember it.)With nowhere to go he accepted his fate and just then he noticed a lovely strawberry.
He took the moment to pluck it and eat it and savor it's flavor.
Then the tiger ate him.
The end.
I think it means you should savor life while it's here because the great tiger is out to get us all.
I was eating eggs this morning and was contemplating whether or not I should eat my favorite part first.I realised my whole life (or so it seems) I want to save The Best for Last.
It's self-preservation I think. Like if I just get this stuff that I don't like done and out of the way then I can enjoy the best later, better.
But sometimes by the time I get to the part I like it's gone cold. Or I've gotten full. Such is life. I always thought it was just a suggestion. The idea of eating the best part First.
But now I realise that it's a priority, it's IMPERATIVE to eat the best part first. Because that is savouring life.
And this will allow me to enjoy and be present in this life. To live the life that I want to live because the choices that I make in the present moment are the best part first.
It's a change in how I perceive this life. It's not a suggestion it's a priority.
What is it that I'm aimimg for?
I need to bring that into my present state. I need to live my future now. I need to live as if my goals are being achieved currently because they are!
Right now. This moment.
