We are here for a good time
not a long time.
So, have a good time;
the sun can't shine everyday.
Trooper, 1977
We get to decide whether or not we go for the good time or the long time in our life experience. When we are in survival mode, living in fear, with chronically activated nervous systems we might be going for the long time. Having a good time doesn't seem that important when you are just set on surviving. It is all about staying safe in a dangerous world. Once we soothe these systems through somatic work, trauma work, counselling etc. taking us to samskara release and purification....we get to experience what it is like to live to have a good time. Of course, it all centers around learning to be okay with what is...putting away our preferences and aversions...and settling into what is.
Calm that nervous system...and then accept that the sun cannot shine everyday. Make the most of every cloudy day...finding joy in all of it.
Hmm! Something to think about.
