Living Authentically You

Infinity is not a closed-loop circuitry as the symbol represents. It is open, expansive, and folds in and over itself almost imperceptibly as reality shifts with each breath. The opportunity for change is presented with every breath, and it does change ever so slightly, whether there is movement in the physical realm or not. Each breath, each tick of your clock, presents a totally new reality and existence.

Like the stills of a moving picture, there is only the flipping of each still that represents the movement. Life is like the fanning of the pages of a book. Each life, or each situation, as a lifetime is lived in each experiential moment, is a different book selected and fanned through. Each page does not need to be relished and poured over, yet it can be. The pause and focus may be held on any still, page, or frame that you desire.

Think of a movie projector that is focused on one piece of film; it allows reflection on a single instance. However, focus held too long will burn through the film or memory, and it may be recreated to how you choose it to be. Do you recall a memory with another person, and their recounting varies, either slightly or broadly? Each individual creates their own reality, seasoned by their unique life experiences.

Create your own film, write your own book, and live your own life. Be uniquely you, boldly you, with all the flavor and audacity you can muster. Enjoy your seasoning on life. Create for yourself, and if others benefit from recounting, watching, or experiencing through your lens—even briefly—then it is good for them. Whether they choose to live similarly and boldly or hold you up as an example of what they do not want, it is for them to use as they choose.

In this way, you are an influencer. It is not your concern how the meal you prepare is consumed or how the life you lived is examined. Live it to the fullest. Enjoy.
