An uneasy thought rips through my mind, Leaving a wake of destruction behind. The thought is gone but suffering persists, Rushing, I and chase after it, as ego insists. Searching for answers; a donkey after a carrot. Distraught and complaining; a repetitive parrot. But then I remember to meditate, get in flow, The grip loosens in presence, and I let it go. -- MikeMesseroff.com #presence #mindfulness #meditation #thoughts #whymeditate #flow #ego #racingthoughts #calmthemind #b

I find that when I let go completely, Life tends to unfold quite neatly. Perhaps if my worry acted more discreetly, I’d remember to re-mind and I wouldn’t repeat me. -- MikeMesseroff.com #letgo #worry #mindfulness #anxiety #stress #meditation #selflove #healing #emotions #mentalhealth #anxietyattack #wellness #soul #health #depression #motivation #poetry #peace #spiritual #inspiration #lifestyle #awareness #awakening #mindset #unplugfromthematrix #mikemesseroff #poetry #perso

Don’t jump straightaway into your day, Then question why things work out this way. It’s cause and effect and you’re the cause. You attract it in, so know your laws. You know it’s true, you feel the blues, When you forget to be grateful, or watch the news. Instead, try investing some time in you, Then watch and see what appears anew. Fill your cup and the overflow, Will flow over to everyone you know. Your world will blossom, they’ll be no need to hide. When life all around re

Not awake, Not making a peep. Not awake, I am asleep. Not awake, Doing what I'm told, Not awake, Believing what I'm sold. Not awake, Never a question to ask. Not awake, Completing every task. Not awake. Drugged up and dejected. Not awake. Plugged in but disconnected. Not awake, Scared of tomorrow. Not awake, An emptiness filled with sorrow. Not awake, I miss the call. Not awake, I miss it all. -- MikeMesseroff.com #wakeup #life #carpediem #thisislife #lifeisnow #seizetheday #

Watts warned us fifty years ago and clearly was clever. He said, "It has to get worse before it gets better." Yet you're still pushing numbers, focused on the end, on the earn. Never in the present, your mind racing with concern. Life is serious, so you miss the point, day in and day out. Keep it up, so hopefully, soon you will SHOUT! You'll see it's a scam, it'a a sham, it's a joke. Life's not supposed to be a drag, have a drag, have a toke. This life is a choice and far fro

Who is aware when “I” see through my eyes, And not with them…who’s in them? And knows this is all a disguise. Who is aware when “I” control a thought, Directing and selecting, From a deeper place than was taught. Who is aware that I’m feeling at all, Vibrations of elation, Guide as “I” heed the call. But who makes the call? Who is in there? If you know, won’t you tell me, Who is aware? -- MikeMesseroff.com #awareness #awakening #consciousness #mindfulness #presence #selfreali

I'll have fun when I'm done, Success at any cost, Even at the cost of precious time lost. I'll have fun when I'm done, After a few more checks on my list, I'm sure I'll have time to make up for time missed. I'll have fun when I'm done, Is becoming a futile endeavor, As I realize a moment gone is a moment gone forever. I'll have fun when I'm done, Is no longer the formula I choose, I'll have fun here and now...and not a moment to lose. -- MikeMesseroff.com #presence #mindfulne

Before toasting to a better tomorrow, Celebrate a beautiful today. Life as it is, You are you are. Be a human being, Not a human doing, Or a human becoming. Just be...

"Santa is real". Once you believed this to be... Absolute Truth with a capital T, Think back and what other "Truths" were later revealed, To be just a facade, a story...something being concealed? So is it possible that other Truths you firmly hold, Are not quite as true as the Truths you've been sold? Let's take just one, as there are countless more. Think about who you are, right down to your core. Your name, nationality, even religion... Aren't these all things that you wer
