The Point?

What Is The Point?

So what is the point of waiting? What exactly are you waiting for? Is
somebody going to give you what you always wanted? Will a train come
from Heaven bringing you goodies? But nothing that could ever happen
could be as good, as precious, as who you are. What stops you from
being, from being present, is nothing but your hope for the future.
Hoping for something to be different keeps you looking for some future
fantasy. But it is a mirage; you'll never get there. The mirage stops
you from seeing the obvious, the preciousness of Being. It is a great
distortion, a great misunderstanding of what will fulfill you. When you
follow the mirage, you are rejecting yourself.
