We see the top of a mountain up there and we imagine what it would be like to reach it by a path and we even calculated the time it can take to climb it. But seldom do we stop to contemplate the mountain, seldom do we look at it for a few moments, we do not see before the impressive, incredible and beautiful mountain born from the perception of our senses.

Impatience breaks the sense of natural adventure that life has, the natural beauty of things and gradually kills our natural learning process, in addition to clouding our senses and distorting our minds.

We have gone from living the now as children, with the now I want it from most adults. And that superficial longing collides head-on with what we are. We really don't need to do anything to be happy, to be loved, we don't even need to make an impact on others or the world to self-realize, or to be richer, smarter or more spiritual.

The only thing we require is something too simple, and therein lies the difficulty. Life asks us to be ourselves since in this perfect way it has created us. Being yourself in its most authentic form, but also more raw, pure and hard, like a mountain, with all the mystery that surrounds it.

But to be authentic it is necessary to deprogram ourselves, unlearn all that mental garbage that we consume every day. All this inertia towards a certain type of residual information does not give way to novelty and reaffirms us in the idea that we are a single center to which everything turns.

In this principle of broader exploration we give ourselves the benefit of relaxing so as not to be so important and making way for life to speak to us through what is happening in the present moment, to be calm as much as we can in the face of everything that it can happen to us, since we cannot control everything that surrounds us. What we can do is face each one of those flight thoughts, visualize the mental responses that we have at the moment and see the reactions to what is happening to us. And all that, it is changing everything.

For most people, starting to be responsible for what's going on inside and constantly escaping is synonymous with entering a kind of vegetative state, not taking action and stagnating. But it is precisely the opposite. Constantly escaping through the small or large addictions that we all know and what have become normal for our society, breaks the essence of life into a thousand pieces.

Life is novelty, adventure and risk. It requires us to be brave at all times, but the problem is that we have made too many ideas of what things have to be, people, how I have to be at work, with which people, my partner or my family .

In the end, everything leads me to be more confused and vulnerable to daily challenges and problems. With time, either I become excessively perfectionist and rigid, or on the contrary I become pasota and everything around me becomes soft. All this, sadly, distances me from the most important thing, from being myself and going hand in hand with life.

And when we prepare everything too much, we know that nothing ever ends up happening. Well yes, the years and life, without being able to live it fully as we would have wanted or would like. And to this we must add that we do not leave room for mental rest, which manifests itself immediately in anxiety and physical exhaustion. We do not leave room for what the new can be presented and to be able to breathe the oxygen of the mind that will create and give simple answers to what we need at each moment.

The problem is that I have been told since I was little that I have to be sure and never doubt, that I have to be very clear about what I want, even if everything is uncertain and nothing is clear. And over time I think I know what I need at every moment, and in that internal dialogue with my mind, this will plan my life and give me the past and conditioned answers.

So it is important to ask yourself from the inside what I really need? a great resume or a good job, a beautiful couple, material goods or objects, entertainment, substances, perhaps a new image or personal brand in my business. Is that really what I need, or what I really follow is that endless vortex of seeking more and more.

As everything is going on, perhaps we should ask ourselves where that constant escape leads us, that inertia towards being constantly busy and distracted. Really wondering if we are fully satisfied with this constant escape from where no one knows ...

Is that life the one we want deep in our hearts?

Behind that image that we have created of ourselves and that we sustain every day, that of the ego, there is something that he is always looking for, and therefore is never happy. Behind that search there is really nothing substantial, just emptiness, much emptiness and despair.

All things take time and require patience, but society has taught us to give quick solutions to complicated situations, which require deep reflection and inner change. Still, everything

there follows an inertia to the imbalance when we hope that things have to happen now, easy and fast to consume, and that it does not demand too much of us.

But that never works, because life is profound and asks us to give our best in all fields. Life asks us that because it sees us in the image and likeness of it, powerful, deep, wild, limitless, open. You will not be satisfied with half measures, because we will never be happy with a life like that, superficial and empty.

Attention is needed to go inward and realize that all this addictive escape process is manifesting ominously in the world before us.

And that first step of facing the situation can hurt and not everyone is willing to go through there. That is why we believe that it is better to take a step back and continue with the same. However, to continue with the same is not to advance, to continue in the illusion of what no longer exists.

Everything is changes and steps forward, maybe some difficult, very painful, but they bring us closer to others and to that authentic part that we actually share. But probably, the message we continue to hear around us is that there is no need to go through pain, that there is something we are doing wrong. They will tell us at the minimum change that there is no need to go through that, that there are easy shortcuts. The complacency of other people who seek our good is a blindfold that prevents us from seeing clearly. All that with time hurts even more ...

Still, it is likely that most of the people around us who will do their best to keep us in that type of life because that reaffirms them in the life of half measures, that of the relative, that of the dependent, that of opinion and criticism, that of exclusion or expulsion if you do not match its type. But all that really doesn't matter ...

We have to be prepared and the best preparation is to know yourself.

Take a look inside ...

When we get to know ourselves in depth, it really doesn't matter that it hurts, since we know that this is a passing process. The important thing is that you start using the tools that we always have at our disposal in ourselves. Little by little, we are having the ability to break with all those limiting beliefs, with the ideas and images that go according to the old paradigm that cause so much suffering in every human being and in the world around us. You break with everything that is necessary no matter what happens, and that leads to a reliable inertia and inner courage that no longer accepts bribes or is carried away by emotional blackmail.

And every day in a new opportunity to leave behind all the burdens and feel hopeful with what is coming, to trust life, no matter what happens ...

Living from the inside is starting to feel from the heart itself.

Knowing our interior is how to set your sights on that mountain, so lost in its beauty, that you cannot stop admiring all that miracle of which you are a part.

And from that you can no longer escape.
