Hi Volcom23,
This is an excellent question.
For me personally it has meant different things at different stages of my journey.
Way back, I saw it as a tool to FIX me, change what I hated and strive for all those things I perceived as good. As my journey has progressed it transformed into many other contexts.
Today... well it helps me be with me, just as I am, right now, to understand, to sense and live each moment of this short life - whatever each day brings, and as much as possible to suspend judgement and just be curious.
Am I successful? I wish!! I still trip up, skin my knees, get angry sometimes, judge, dream, desire, etc., etc. But it is now a part of who I am and it continues to help me befriend me and live my life in a way that has never been possible for me previously.
Once you set off on this path, I am certain it will become the greatest adventure of your life.
Nothing but the best...
