Progress: Are You Making, Slaying, or Enjoying It?

People oft’ times spend countless hours ’in senseless maneuvers to, ‘speed along the project’, ‘make something happen’ or ‘make something better’. Foolish. All attempts of this sort are not only futile but hopelessly stupid. Things occur in a pattern of haphazardly sequenced events according to a divine plan (structure). [You, or I, are not privy to the background information feeding the appointed slot for delegated occurrence and/or deliverance.] We, are however, allowed to partake of the event, while emotionally creating whatever scenario fits our fancy. In the meantime, every imaginable and conceivable reason, excuse, defense, proposition, story, idea, credit, blame along with a million other earthly constructed state of ego projected worrisome, anxious, and guilt-ridden affairs [in development] are devised for the situation., None actually are relevant or true to the event itself, whether praise worthy or fault finding but mortals still tend to cling to their emotional dramas tenaciously. Realizing this, will that deter, sway, influence, or stop desperately driven human beings to ease up {stop pushing so}? Unfortunately, no.

Human beings are insatiable in their quest for power, prestige, position, wealth, beauty, influence, fame, fortune and domination even if thy have to secure it through notoriety. At no time, do they simply reside in the moment for the moment’s sake. Every waking hour is geared to making ‘progress’, never one time stopping to ‘breathe in the sublimely sacred progressive second of indescribable glory’ that surrounds them. The rush to acquire, to ‘get ahead’ to make ‘something of oneself’ blinds and stifles the unfathomable pleasure evoked! Is it not written somewhere:”…Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart…?” Life is meant to be consumed as a delightful undaunted love affair, breathless, intense, and erotically enjoyed. Smooth and easy—- Not to be filled to overflowing with needless doubt, concern, worry, vexation and striving!

Why fret so, flooded by numerous apprehensions, most of them invented by an irritated, jealous, vengeful, (wanting or needing to prove your worth) competitive, guilty, egoistic, disappointed and compelling spirit of “trying to impress.” {Either yourself or someone else.} To what avail? What does it matter? Why are you doing what you’re doing? The first and only questions should always be: “Do I enjoy this?” “Does it bring me pleasure again, and again, and again?” IF not, better re-evaluate your motives! “…except ye as a little child ye will in no wise enter into the gates of (whatever heaven means to you).” It’s called being guileless, without a predetermined envy or need of a specified result. Children are innocent creatures who relish the passing bubbles with laughter, astonishment and amusement. In their case, they are the embodiment of the full meaning of “Progress.”

Am I advocating a life of lackadaisical indifference? IF it could be achieved, by all means! Unequivocally YES!!! But, more reasonably, let us all is content with the attainment of: “…whatever thy hands find to do, do with all thy might…” Do these works of pleasure with full passion, love, veneration, appreciation, honor of the duty attached, and of course 350% creatively sexually engaged. No other definition of progress can be witnessed or experienced.
