It’s true that nothing really matters. So doing things because they matter is a fools errand. We seem to do things because we seem to exist. The question is, “Is what I’m doing amplifying my love for this gift of existence?” If it’s not, I can question the thinking that’s guiding me to do it.
Do I do what I do out of a perceived need to fill a gap or do I do what I do out of a celebration of life’s wholeness, completeness, utter beauty?
Do I do what I do because I SHOULD (stress) or because I CAN (love)?
If I have an honest impulse to do something and think, “I can’t,” I can identify the thought that’s introducing the limitation and question it.
Nothing I can do is right or wrong, good or bad, cool or uncool, appreciated or annoying, showing up or falling short, except in my thinking and believing.
When I have an honest impulse to do something and I think, “Nothing matters,” I can process that as a negative and amplify my stress and let it pull me off the idea. But it doesn’t have to be a negative. It’s only a negative if “mattering” matters. If I think it’s important for things to “matter” then “not mattering” is a problem. But if it’s not important for things to matter, the thought, “Nothing matters” is just freedom.
And the result of true freedom is always openness, love, generosity. Always. When nothing matters, when I am freedom, when I can’t lose, what reason could I possibly have to protect myself, to fear anyone, to hoard anything or to stop myself from acting from a sense of boundless true love?
