Stop. Breathe.

A new year.

It’s so easy to get sucked into things, swept into the current of what you believe is the reality of your life - work, eat, sleep, repeat the cycle again until one day you actually wake up from that sleep and realize you’re living in a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream of awareness, that fantasy is accompanied by a muddled clarity that spins you into the believing that you were awake all along. 

How can awareness be so obsolete? A life replete with the ability for fullness requires emptiness to begin. 

So empty. Empty yourself. Empty yourself of all expectations and prejudices and desires. Is it good to let go of desire? How do you achieve anything, goals or success? How do you envision the outcome you desire if you rid yourself of it?

Upon further reading, the idea is not to get rid of all desire, but selfish desire. The NEED for something vs a goal I wish to achieve. Seems there is a strong misconception between the two.
