Mindful Impact: All You Get is What You've Done

The universe has no obligation to make sense to us. When we accept this fact, that in reality we understand very little in the larger scheme of things, we begin to see our purpose. We are here to interpret and illuminate the world around us. Learn as much as we can within our radius and help others to do the same. Every one has a place, a reason, a scope in which they influence. We may enter an adjacent realm and become inveigled by its energy or our orbits may ellipse beside one another never crossing paths. The actions of others are fleeting trails, swirling and spiraling, thin as a wisp of smoke. A gentle breeze carrying them off with serenity. It is what we choose to undertake and execute that builds the foundation of our future endeavors. The catalyst our intentions, impulses, imaginations and inclinations. In the end, all you get is what you've done.

Mindful reflection is necessary. Awareness is half the battle. We can not conquer our fears unless we recognize them as vulnerable. Taking a look at our accomplishments and impacts humbles us. Focuses us. Reminds us that our motives are personal and do not necessarily translate in to reality. The magic and sorcery of our minds can create entire universes only we can see. Each a microcosm of our personalities. It is within our imaginations that we exist and thrive. We interact and co-exist in the real world but we process information and interpret our presence, in our own mind. The lens of our imagination magnifies what we believe to be dynamic and stimulating. This optic of creativity is stronger than our eyes because it sees what they do not- possibility and promise. Until we fulfill our tangible goals and accomplish discernible adventures, we will stay in our bubble. Our personal state of mind. Until we give back, make even an infinitesimal impact we are just another ephemeral potentiality. If we strive for more permanence, we must make mindful, rousing impacts. All we get is what we have done.

It starts with appreciation. Embracing the flow of positive deeds that make contact. The littlest of gestures that make joy possible in our lives. What we put out in the universe can either be a seed of change or a muffling of creativity. The expression of our desires and dreams are what eventually become our actions. Listening to our inner voice, following our instincts and listening to the advice of others is how mindfulness works. All coalescing into a centrifugal force, of confidence, determination and follow-through. Our thoughts are our own, but our actions impact the collective. Each circumstance altering the course of another. We must remember that with every response we place into the macrocosm of humanity, another part of our exclusive impact is put into place. We must not expect to get anything in return barring what we have put in. We as a part of a larger plane, an endless dimension that is both fluid and dynamic. But with this malleability comes consistent change. All we can hope to attain is what we have done and the knowledge that we made a difference.
