Flow of thought

Like a train, your thoughts fly through you. They leave as quickly as they come, and only occasionally linger. There are times when that’s good, when you’re “overheating” from the busy life you’re leading, and that storm of thoughts clears your mind. But most of the time, the endless train of thoughts coming and going is entirely unnecessary and holds you back at every level because it distracts you from the present moment, the only moment which truly matters for you.
It’s like looking at a painting in a gallery overflowing with people. Just when you think you’re about to capture all its beauty, a new group of people passes by in front of you. It makes you lose the true value of your moment, of your present life. And you become nothing more than just a stop along the way for your thoughts, which do not bring you or take away from you anything good or anything bad; they only distract you.
That’s why it’s important for you to focus on the present moment and focus your attention on yourself. That way, you’ll notice around you only those things which will have real significance for you.
Feel how peace permeates your entire body when you do that. How your head grows empty and the buzzing is replaced by silence, but a silence filled with insight. After you succeed in silencing the noise inside your head and becoming still in the present moment, fill yourself up with that insight and set out into the day. That’s how you’ll avoid wasting energy on things that are not important for you in that moment.
If, at times, the silence disappears and the useless clamor inside your head begins again, retreat within yourself for a few seconds and allow yourself to grow still in the silence.
Bathe your essence in knowledge and awareness, in the joy, love, and wellbeing which are emanating from you, and move on.
That way, all the doors you need that day will open for you while you simply won't notice the rest.
