    Hump Day

    Almost there! Almost where? The weekend? Feeling weakened. Always obsessed, For what's coming next; Not for the Now, Not important, somehow. Midweek blues, Foreboding news; Rushing to the end, Gets you there, my friend. -- MikeMesseroff.com #humpday #presence #mindfulness #meditation #whymeditate #slowdown #lifeishere #lifeisnow #mikemesseroff #personalfreedompoet #personalfreedomcoach #unplug #unplugfromthematrix #mindfulpoetry #now #hereandnow #happynow #happier #weekend #r

    Get There Faster and Faster

    Always striving to get things done, To get "there" faster and faster; Intuition weakens as the 'to-do list' grows, And a schedule becomes your Master. -- MikeMesseroff.com #intuition #flow #todolists #instinct #trust #guidance #schedules #notodolist #noschedule #todolist #schedule #presence #mindfulness #meditation #whymeditate #faster #slowdown #lifeishere #lifeisnow #mikemesseroff #personalfreedompoet #personalfreedomcoach #unplug #unplugfromthematrix #mindfulpoetry #now #h

    Take Time

    Invest in rest, You can't always be going. Time never stops, Ceaselessly flowing. It passes by in action, and in the still. How you spend yours, This is your will. Always being productive... That's not the way. It's incredibly destructive... A life with no play, No time to relax, Or to look around, No time to breathe deep, Or to feel the ground. And when you're tired, Devoid of elation, You can still produce results, But what will be your creation? So as time rolls on, No mat

    One Breath Today

    Could one of my breaths today, Be my last? Contemplating this, Life stops moving so fast. And I'd rather live life, Aware of death on my shoulder, Then wondering where time went, Looking back when I'm older. -- MikeMesseroff.com #mortality #life #appreciation #gratitude #slowdown #relax #breathe #breath #lifeisshort #lifeisnow #hereandnow #appreciatelife #lastbreath #livelife #death #older #wisdom #unplug #unplugfromthematrix #personalfreedomcoach #personalfreedompoet #mikeme

    The Myth

    Here is the myth… We’re all lead to believe it. This game has an end, Our goal? To achieve it. But what if, just what if, It is perfectly clear, Our purpose is simple, To have fun while we’re here? We’d follow our passions, Experience life and create love, Heaven here and now, Not a dream far above. -- MikeMesseroff.com #ratrace #heaven #life #heavenisnow #heavenishere #lifeisnow #hereandnow #themyth #thelie #themachine #unplug #unplugfromthematrix #goldengoodie #hoax #fun #f

    Not awake

    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 #

    Groundhog Day

    Around and around, a monotonous bore. As a suppressed soul shouts "There is more!" But muffled, held down, held under, repressed. A life full of regret...complacent, depressed. So what would life look like feeling fulfilled, dropping strife? Because 'Groundhog Day' is a great movie, but a horrifying life. -- MikeMesseroff.com #groundhogday #ratrace #hamsterwheel #getoffthewheel #unplugfromthematrix #unplug #unwind #slowdown #relax #lifeisnow #hereandnow #freedom #personalfree

    How small I have been living

    "Just being on a zoom call with Mike will have your nervous system settle. His light and peaceful essence helps me feel safe enough to freely express myself. He calls me forward to see the massive potential inside of me and how small I have been living." -- If you feel like you're playing small, you are. You are not as happy or as fulfilled as you can be. Your soul knows this, and that's why it feels "off". No one else can tell you this or show you this. The question is...wha

    Fun when I'm done

    Fun when I'm done

    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

    Enjoy it when you're old

    Why I quit my airline job to travel

    -- A riddle to help your mind unravel, A riddle to help your mind unfurl: Why did I have to quit my airline job to travel? Why quit an airline job…to travel the world? -- You may not know this about me, but I worked a corporate job, a desk job, for TEN YEARS. Even thinking about that is cringeworthy to me now (if this offends you, read on)… I learned a lot and made friends that I still keep in touch with today, however, one of the greatest things I learned was that no matter
