We are in an epidemic.
We quantify and compare our lives,
Competing to take from one another,
Reducing ourselves to appearances, numbers, and profiles.
We are losing our lives and our humanity.
We know there's a problem.
Living life as a profile feels wrong.
But most of us keep doing it anyway.
Why?
A Fear of the unknown.
A Fear that quantifies and pursues the quantifiable,
A Fear that counts the likes, the views, and the connections,
calling this sum a life.
But this is not really living…
A life of Fear is not a life anyone loves.
is the only replacement for Fear.
Love begins with mindfulness.
Not a mood, not a trend, but a way of living.
Your attention, dedicated to the present.
Being here. Choosing here. Being awake in your own life.
Being awake is only half the equation.
You have to be awake for something. Passion for the moment.
The court. The studio. The page. The people.
An unquantifiable life in which you're truly alive.
Mindfulness + Passion = Love.
The perpetual pursuit of the perfection of the present moment.
Fear counts. Love lives.
The choice is yours.
