What Am I Missing in My Life?

Life is a drag. A bore. We are constantly running, doing, completing things. It feels like we wake up every morning at or around the same time and do all the same kinds of things, eagerly awaiting a break from this mundane routine life.

And what do we do when we get that much needed break? We look for a thrill, a high, a rush, an intoxication… something to take us away from the usual, the ordinary. Surely, there is more to life than this… something amazing, something extraordinary.

It feels almost as if everyone is searching; searching for meaning, purpose, a deeper reason for living, for being. It’s as if life is a train… A train that represents my hopes, dreams, aspirations, goals and above all a deep sense of contentedness and fulfillment where I feel complete and whole… I need to board this train… I am running on the platform next to the train… I am reaching out to grab the handle to board the train… But the train is moving, am running alongside, but I just can’t seem to board it.

And I spend my life like this. Every day. Every week. Every month. Every year. Trying. Looking. Seeking. Feeling an intense vacuum within… a sense of loss or absence or dissatisfaction.

But when do I pause and ask myself: what am I missing, what am I looking for, what am I running after? What’s really on that train? And where is it really going to take me?

PAUSE. Better yet, STOP. And BE. Ceasing all activity… externally of the body… internally of the mind. Sense, feel, be the silence, the stillness.

Notice the discomfort, the uneasiness of BEING. REALIZE, the conditioning of the mind. The mind keeps you busy. The mind keeps you engaged constantly in thought and activity. The mind distances you from presence. OBSERVE the mind as it leads you incessantly through a lush forest of experiences, meadows of joy, deserts of sorrow, oceans of ecstasy and mountains of loneliness.

And as you follow your thoughts, ask yourself: What if there is no train?
