Description: Sometimes doing nothing … is the best path to follow


I was chasing for success for a long, long time.

I could even define those times as an eternity and i still can’t realize …. how could i be such an idiot to follow this path … for so long.

But that’s not all.

I actually followed lots of other pathless paths so many times … that i could define myself as an expert into those things.

Later on …. analyzing with honesty all what was going on … i somehow realized that i was the prisoner of those situations … but also the guardian that was keeping me there.

I was not allowing myself to stop … going to nowhere ….

All what i was doing was to change a pathless path with another one and another on … and …

Well … time did not changed anything at all.

Even if i was feeling the fact that something was wrong … that part of myself that was acting as a guarding … was keeping myself the prisoner of an … ugly life.

Time was passing … and again nothing changed.

It looked like i was changing the direction … but anywhere i was going … it was still going to … nowhere.

But one day …. having enough of going to the left and to the right …. and finding no real good result for my soul … i decided to do something that i never did before … and that was …. simple start doing …. nothing.

The answer was so damn simple …

I had to stop …. the chaos.

To stop … chasing for illusory desires.

And to think about doing … nothing … for a while … disconnecting from anything means … pathless paths …

Allowing myself … at least … to stop feeling like a prisoner …even if i was living in a prison with invisible walls.

Stop being the prisoner … but also the guardian.

Stop doing that … on and on and on.

Doing nothing became … a better scenario.

So … i started doing that.

And guess what?!

Little by little … my life started to change.

The pathless paths disappeared… or i should say that were replaced … by paths with a better meaning for my life.

I’ve re evaluated everything … ignoring the 2 contradictory roles i was playing all the time …

So …. drinking my coffee into a lovely place … meditating more … and taking the decision to connect only to the beautiful vibes from my life … became probably the best option i could have in mind all the time.

The chaos itself did not disappeared … but … it was not anymore … the main part of my life.

The pathless paths became … lessons of life.

And doing nothing …. which was actually the habit of stopping the time and enjoying life … became more … a hobby.

The guardian did not disappeared completely … and neither the prisoner… but i took the liberty of ignoring those roles.
