To Snooze or Not To Snooze

Ego just loves to push that ‘snooze'-button, preferably again and again. Before you know it you might find yourself ‘snoozing' through life for years. Time just ticking away. I know I have done so for some period of time.  Accompanied by fellow snoozers, living daydreaming days in a daydream nation. Hibernation comes to mind. The stage before hibernation is one of over consumption, enabling the state of hibernation. Survival just taking on a different form. I would like to think that we did evolve from our survival mechanism. Nature, our nature, always gives a wake-up call. All we need to do is be willing to listen to it.

Acknowledging the fact that I have been snoozing, and the willingness to look into it, has opened up so many opportunities. Opportunities arising in freedom. Once I did truly wake up to the fact that I was in denial, I just couldn't push that ‘snooze'-button any longer. It is as if it doesn't exist anymore. Vanished before my eyes as I chose to shift my focus on a much larger perspective and all my action is to go with that flow that just wants to keep flowing. 

Sometimes that snooze-button does reappear. Although it likes to tempt me, I know now that if I would answer to it, I would only be fooling myself.  Can there be a bigger fool? :)

Let the beauty we love be what we do - Mevlana Rumi
