Someone told me once to be aware of my boundaries. The problem is that I don't think I have any boundaries. I don't think that I want any either.

Life is nothing more than a continuous series of movements that lead us from one experience to the next. With each experience we gain insight, knowledge, understanding, emotion and above all, we gain sensation. We gain these things and then we move on to the next experience. It's just that simple.

The moment that you try to stop that natural rhythmic motion of life is the moment that you will become overwhelmed with experiences. Because life itself won't stop, only you will. The experiences will compound and stick to you. You'll begin to struggle to differentiate between one set of experiences and another. Everything and everyone around you will meld together. In the end, you'll be lost, confused and smothered.

Life is motion. Don't try to fight it. Just keep moving. Set goals for yourself and reach them. It doesn't matter what those goals are. Just set them and move. Stay on course no matter what. Your goals will always be your guiding light and your saving grace. Build yourself around them.

New experiences will come your way: Learn from them and become stronger.

New opportunities will come your way: Use them to empower yourself and those around you.

New people will come your way: Treasure them and keep them close to your heart.

Happy Easter to all of my friends on Gather and Associated Content, the guys over at Vector Linux and to that special person that makes all my days worth living.

Love and Peace Guys

This was sure food-for-thought. I do have my boundaries, which is a good thing. But, sometimes they can hinder my success.

Happy Easter Matthew...though I do believe in boundaries...especially with one's mother. :-)

Excellent article. My boss once told me I need to "harness my stream of consciousness." I wanted to say "why?" but didn't. Like you, I rather enjoy exploring all the elements of the universe with no boundaries. WTG - 5 stars!
