Resilience is in Presence

      

By Conscious Sanjay

Resilience is in Presence   Failure, Success, Failure, Success, My existence conditioned over falling or walking, ever since my first steps. Labels of Fail and Pass pursue, Conveyed with sneaky eyes, Amplified in my own eyes. Magnified shards of memory haunt me, Judgements through some filtered lenses, well past their existence.   Failure is some summation of past, A summary measurement of actions, A critique of some kind, A comparison with someone else. All past gets redacted, gets reduced to being some forgotten thought, Why does Failure then loom ? Ballooning construct of an unkind past, hyperbolic until I don’t deal, confront, accept, and get past.   Once failure is a compassionate past, I stay immersed in successive moments, from one present to another present, accepting the totality of my state, trusting my inner vision, taking actions, choiceless, coveted   Can I be that Stork, alert and submerged, into the intelligence of the moment, where even it’s beak knows when to dive, to make a sumptuous meal of the slightest reveal ?   Failure need at best be a GPS, guiding me to my North Pole. Resilience is then all about my capability to return to the fresh present moments, Where opportunities beckon.   ConsciousSanjay June 2023 MysticLivingtoday.com
