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 #

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?

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

"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

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

"It's finally the weekend!" Something the old me would shout, Making five days of the week, Five days I could live without. But then I treated every day as a gift, Savoring life became the trend.
