present is your canvas, a strange beauty.
past, a neutral archive, full of benign data.
future, your clearest memory, most genuine you.
the present: your canvas
the present moment is a canvas of strange beauty, a dynamic and ever-evolving, at times painful, masterpiece. it is where our consciousness resides, where we breathe, feel, see the fruits of our labor, and where we create. to truly see the present as perfect with room to evolve is to acknowledge the catastrophes and the moment’s inherent potential for beauty and growth. the present is not just a point in time; it is a lucid seeing and simultaneously an opportunity for transformation.
do you see beauty all around you, no matter how odd it may at first appear? this question invites us to look beyond the surface and appreciate the intricate details and subtleties of our current reality. it challenges us to embrace the present moment with gratitude and curiosity, recognizing that each experience, no matter how mundane or peculiar, contributes to our overall journey of life.
the past: a neutral archive
the past is a neutral archive, full of benign data. it is a repository of memories and experiences that inform clearly, but do not define us. our past shapes our understanding and provides context for our present actions, yet it remains a static record, this way of seeing the past this requires robustness no doubt to untether from current reality.
is your mind replaying stories and events of the past? reflecting on this question can reveal the extent to which we are influenced by our history. by viewing the past as neutral and benign, we can liberate ourselves from its potential to limit or define us. we can extract valuable lessons and insights without being tethered to bygone narratives, allowing us to move forward with clarity and purpose.
the future: your clearest memory
the future is your clearest memory, the most genuine you. it represents the realm of possibilities, the field of potential that is shaped by our intentions and actions. to live from a vision of the future is to navigate life with a sense of purpose and direction, guided by our deepest desires and aspirations.
are you living from a vision of the future, a feeling of what is truly meant, despite all the off-roading? this question encourages us to align our present actions with our future goals, even when the path is uncertain and fraught with challenges. it invites us to trust in the unfolding of our journey, knowing that our intentions and efforts will ultimately shape our destiny.
living a blissdesigned life
to live a blissdesigned life is to harmonize the present, past, and future in a way that fosters forgiveness, growth, fulfillment, courage, bliss. it involves:
embracing the present:
seeing the present moment as perfect with room to evolve, appreciating its beauty and potential for transformation.
understanding the past:
viewing the past as a neutral archive that informs but does not define us, extracting wisdom without being constrained by it.
shaping the future:
living from a vision of the future, guided by our intentions and dreams, trusting in the process of becoming.
in this intricate interaction between time's facets, we find our true essence and purpose. the present becomes a space of infinite possibilities, the past a source of wisdom, and the future a canvas for our dreams. by integrating these perspectives, we create a life that is not only meaningful but also profoundly beautiful—a life that is blissdesigned.
