I'm Awake!


 Simple can be beautiful



I've read about this in The Peaceful Warrior and in a Buddhism class I recently took. It is in movies, sports and just about anything you can imagine. Its definition is elastic and viewed differently from experience to experience. But this awakening can have a profound affect on many. I would not be writing this blog if it were not for a similar experience. It had such a profound influence on my life I decided in my future medical career and in life in general, I plan to do everything I can to pass on this experience to my patients and peers.
Life is meant to be lived. You live by creating what you want, pursuing what makes you happy and not letting yourself get in your way. Freeing your inhibition can only help create opportunities for what I saw as a brand new world. Colors became vibrant and simple actions such as a bee pollinating a flower became a bold note in life's orchestra. To see fear and failure as oppurtunity  instead of defeat only allows for expansion and improvement. Mental noise becomes clear and life is easier to pour half full then half empty. Simply put life's meaning is no longer a search but an adventure.
