WILLINGNESS

An outcome of getting mature is to take it easy in a lot of things, to know where the real joy comes from and to experience that nothing is actually mine, except for what I take along with me in my mind and heart until the final day comes. Money is a blessing, friends are blessings, partners are blessings, and even rubbish from them are blessings too as they give me the experience of having something or nothing accompany my pathway. They come and stay and go. It’s normal. And it’s a blessing too. Because if nothing is gone, I won’t have space in my mind and time for others to come.

 

I’ve got a gift which is so expensive compared to my income. If it hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known how much I would be able to not fake myself for a valuable thing. If it hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known how much just a presence of myself would be so valued to someone who really values me.

Money, interestingly, is a great test for the level of willingness. Some people may say they are willing but these words come from their minds, not their hearts, so they say it but they don’t really mean it, and thus, they suffer. The highest level of willingness, perhaps go together with the unexpectation of anything in return. In this state, we fully enjoy the act of giving without demanding any following circumstances. Whether the others want to take it and decide what to do next, that again depends on their willingness. In this way, life becomes easier. No one suffers.

 

So I asked my friend: “Are you willing to give it to me without any conditions?” “Are you sure that you don’t want to take it back?” ….. Okay, so I’m happy to take it. I’m glad to be a taker this time as I deserve it.

 

Yeah, life would be so much easier if we can be honest about what we want and be 100% willing in whatever we do. And life is always fair in its own way. Be happy to be a giver and a taker, as nothing is actually ours except for what we have in our minds and hearts.
