In your moment, where does your breath go?

In a moment,  your breath can be taken away without warning and discrimination.  This breath seeker feels no remorse and takes what it needs, when it feels necessary.

It can start as early as the first one you try to take when you enter this world and can happen until you leave.  What is this?

It's called life.

The first instance a breath is taken away was when you have been brought into this world.  Irrespective of the need or perhaps the want, your life was given and their breath was taken away at that exact moment.  When you learn how to walk, your breath goes from your lungs, escapes your lips and you grasp at the nearest item to hold for safety and security.  We travel through live this way.

We choose to hold on to things for security and without knowing it, these things embrace what we run from.  What we need so deeply in life.  To keep our breaths for safety.  Without knowing it, we give away our breaths for the sake of what we think is safe and good, letting go of the ability to trust ourselves and to have faith that it will be okay if we are taking the steps in the right direction.

I challenge you today, in this moment, to grasp what is around you and give it all of your being.  Love what you are in, what you are doing completely and embrace what it is that you love most about it.  Even if it's tough, even if it brings you tears, even if you don't think you can make it to the next breath and that you've given it all you can.  I challenge you to find the good, the right and the positive in the moment and to surrender all that you have.  

When we make the choice to be aware of what is around us, we live life completely.  I mean, as authentically and with all the awareness as we can.  So choose, at this moment to wake up, live life and be as honest with yourself as possible.  Breath and keep those moments.
