It's been my observation that individuals can't "be" anything but unique and at the same time nobody is special. Some of us can remember when someone else, usually an adult pulled us aside and explained how it's not enough to just "be", now you have to be "something". Eckhart Tolle discusses this trap in greatest detail as a cornerstone of his message. He also states openly that there is nothing in his message that you don't already know, however you might remember what you have forgotten. It's all about remembering your true self, the original state, consciousness, existence (life) versus ego (story).

Thank you for your lovely reflections on life (existence). In my opinion a benchmark of living deliberately, prepares a deathbed free of regret. Then may you rest and know you have truly lived.

Have a very nice evening.
