Introspection

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 9:07 am

I like the TV Show HOUSE. Last night was its season premier. The theme of the episode, for lack of a better term, was introspection – taking a visit inside.

I loved the episode because it demonstrated no matter how smart we are; we can’t figure it all out.

My observation is that we spend too much of our lifetime trying to figure it all out and we always come up short. Our goal seems to be on the end game and not the game itself.

It seldom occurs to us that we can’t get to the next moment without experiencing the moment we’re in.

Think of each moment as having its own little windstorm kicking up a bit of dust. We become covered in dust before too long because we carry it from one moment to the next, never taking time to dust ourselves off.

Dusting ourselves off is dealing with the debris that any current moment may bring. We hardly ever take time to process the moment. It becomes baggage we carry into each succeeding frame of our life’s movie.

We become covered in outside crud and rarely take the time to cleanse ourselves. Just like outside health begins from the inside so, too, does cleaning up your life.

It may be time to take a look inside.

It’s a quiet place filled with solvents of all sorts. Inside works its magic by first emptying the trash from our mind, and then it gently nudges us to apply elbow grease on the outside in places where we never did before. Before too long, we’re clean as a whistle.

If you haven’t already done so, find a mind quieting practice that takes you inside. There are so many to choose from and they’re all effective.

A note to the busy beavers: It’s not a one-time proposition. It takes regular visits inside to cleanse our accumulated rubbish.

We all get caught up in life’s dramas. This is just a reminder that from time to time we have to go inside and clean house.

All the best,

John
